gsambray 172 Report post Posted April 25, 2011 Its been 4 years since I have had an adult moose tag. 5 years ago I missed the draw dealine and it seemed to really mess things up for me. since then in the past 4 years its been unsuccessful and only carried a calf tag. last year really got me wondering what was going on when I was unsuccessful and in pool#1. hopefully this year will be my year since i beleive that if you were not given a tag and in pool#1 you remain in that same pool. the down side of all of this is I apply as an individual so maybe thats what is happening. I hunt wmu 13 and have always applied for the same first and second choice and always had an adult tag every second year. has anyone else come accross the same issue? how long did it take since the missed draw before a tag was issued?

Guest Matt M Report post Posted April 26, 2011 I got a bull tag my second year. I missed the draw my 3rd year applying. It took 6 years after that before I got an adult tag again. I have been applying in 12A. Not sure if it was just bad luck or if missing that one year messed things up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Very good year.This year we are going to apply as a group. Guaranteed tag with 3 applicants in WMU 13 for either cow or bull. Quote Not just a 3 month season but a 12 month obsession!!!

Guest TBaySmitty Report post Posted April 27, 2011 I have been without an adult tag for 4 years. And this year I have to apply for 99z, the area that keeps me in pool A but won't give me a tag. I don't have time to hunt this fall but want to stay in pool A for next year.I used to get a tag every second or third year, without fail. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hurketthunter 65 Report post Posted August 3, 2011 I hunt 13 as well and if your applying solo I find the average is a bull tag every 4 to 5 years. Lots of hunters in this wmu so getting a tag can be tricky if your not in a party. Hurketthunter Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nwodeerhunter 9 Report post Posted August 4, 2011 When I first started hunting I would get an adult tag every second year as a single applicant in WMU 15B, over the past 6 year my dad, brother and I have applied as a group in 15B and have been successful every year in getting an adult tag (each person has held the tag 2 times now). I don’t have any experience with missing a season as I have always applied.Marc Quote Tikka T3 Stainless/Laminate 300 WSMTikka T3 Stainless/Synthetic .243WinBenelli Supernova RealTree APG 12Ga.
