I got my rifle tag for there on my tenth try so you never know. Even if it is a one in a million chance there is one there.
I actually put in for the tag with the intent of not drawing it. I figure if my luck changes and I do draw I probably won't feel too bad about it. My dad, who I usually put in with, is out of the country this year and so for this one year I figured I would apply for the Henries and then move back to the Book Cliffs once he gets back.

The waiting side of it is easy for me. I don't really have many points for anything so I don't even worry about it. I had forgot all about the turkey draw until the email saying that I was a loser showed up.

Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell
the difference.

The only problem this year is the second guessing. See, I was planning on putting in with my brother, uncle, and grandpa for the late Book Cliffs elk. Going in with about 7 points, so we wouldn't be guaranteed anything and our odds wouldn't be too good... just looking for the point this year really and hoping that next year PTO and "time away from home" will be more available. Neither my brother or uncle wanted to do the late hunt, but without thinking much I just applied with me & my grandpa. We're going in the point group where my projections have us potentially drawing guaranteed tags. That wasn't really the plan, but if we end up drawing we'll make the most of it.

Ya never know. In 2010 I drew the Henries rifle tag with only 1 point that's the beauty of bonus points instead of preference points.
