Outstanding man! That's a tough draw my friend. Better go out and buy some lotto tickets too. Just remember, ol' BOHNTR was here for ya. :lol:
Bet you can't wait to start scouting that unit. Congratulations again. It's always nice to have a fellow MM guy/gal get drawn for a premium tag.

The entire family was skunked for Utah '04 permits. How does my 63 year old father not draw the Paunsaugunt with 12 bonus points as a non-resident? That is brutal! Oh well, maybe a non-resident with a tag will turn it back in as the buzz of "another poor year for antler growth" rolls through the paunsaugunt hunting community...yeah, right.
:roll:
It looks like your dad and my brother have about the same kind of luck when it comes to drawing tags. A few years ago 81 applicants applied for 80 permits on a particular hunt. My bro was number 81 and did not receive a tag. After reviewing the 2003 & 2004 draw odds reports; it appears as your dad was close to a shoe in. I think it's safe to say he can plan on going next year, maybe! (LOL)

Dont give your hopes up
Hey Ya'll!
Don't just give up on that big buck yet! If you really want to hunt, get out that 'ol bow and head to any general unit in Utah. There are big deer there too, you just might have to hunt a little harder! Nothing wrong with a bunch of hard work and a big buck that follows! People are disapointed in mule deer hunting in Utah. I always see good bucks, Its getting them on the ground that is the hard part, or finding them when the hunt rolls around ! If you are rich enough to go guided, call a guide, there are guides for general areas as well! Bowhunting is tough, but big deer are more readily avaliable that time of year too! Just another reason the state-wide bow hunt rocks! I don't think that it is going away anytime soon! So Bowhunt-ON!

AKW is the only one of us with good news thus far?!?! Man, I was looking forward to some great stories and pics come the end of the year! No worries though, I'm sure we'll pull something out of our collective hat.
I'll find out about the California draws in about a month....probably end up in the same boat as the majority of us though, but the anticipation is killing me! Kinda like Christmas as a kid....hoping you get that killer pellet gun but you also know dang good and well that there are probably socks and underwear in some of the wrapping!
