Are we talking WMA hunts?
My original post was to nonresident hunters in the first 2 weeks.  I was not successful in a WMA drawing. Does your state set aside a certain amount for non resident hunters and the balance for residents. I believe that's how it works for most of the western states.

I'm a resident as well and your luck sounds like mine. I was 1-4 this year and 0-4 last year. I'm 3-14 over that past 4 seasons. Unlike some, I only put in for the ones I'd actually show up to and hunt. The system is a joke and will continue to be until they cap the number of WMA's you can apply for.

Oh well, it looks like I'll be "Joe Blow on the back 40" for the first 2 weeks again this year.

Yes, we're talking about WMA draws that even us residents have to apply for. I don't know the percentages but I'd be willing to bet it's designed for a healthy % of non-residents to get drawn because the almighty dollar talks.

On the WMA hunts do you only get drawn for 2 hunt days or can it be more than that? I was not drawn for wma.

For the public lands first 2 weeks. I received the email saying I won but when I log in it says I didn't. I emailed them to try and figure out what's going on.

I wonder if the number that applied for the quota hunts changed any from usual?

I was told another year of record applicants.

You can e-mail them and ask for it.

Perhaps it's time to go back to limiting the # of WMA's that a person can apply for?

Would be nice! Or throw on an application fee. Charge for each WMA applied for.

Thanks for clarifying that. They leave something to be desired with some I'm there information.

I'd rather see a limit of 3-4 WMA draw applications instead of more fees. It would force people be more selective rather than going down the list and applying for all.

The money could go a long ways to better managing the wmas.

Maybe both?
