LE Turkey

[maverick9465]

Just drew my first LE entry tag! It's for turkey, but hey, I'll take it.

My card was just hit.

Congrats! I’m hoping to draw as well. Never hunted turkey before. What tag did you draw?

Congratulations! I drew this year as well for the northeast region.

Got the emails this morning. Looks like one of my boys drew a northern Utah tag.

Got my email last night. Unsuccessful. OTC for me!

Unsuccessful in the Central Region with 5 bonus points. That is just stupid for a turkey tag. I'm in too deep to stop now, but once I draw it I'll be switching to another unit for the future.

Me and the wife both struck out on central tags. 5 points for me, 6 for her. I’m hearing 7 didn’t pull that tag either. Stupid that is the wait for a hunt 2 weeks earlier than the general.

The other stupid thing is that they can go unlimited OTC tags in the fall for central at 3 per person, unlimited OTC spring general tags at 1 per person, but can’t give out more than 250 tags for the LE hunt 2 weeks earlier than the general.

I'll run the numbers when I can get this year's draw statistics but if it's going to take me 3 more years (or more) to draw a stupid turkey tag, I'm out. I'll hunt the youth hunt with my kids and a weekend in Southern Utah every other year and the general season up here and call it good. 7 or 8 years to draw a turkey tag is incredible.

I drew Northern Region with 4 points. I'm with MooseMeat that it does seem a little weird that "LE" is just two weeks ahead of General, but hey, if there are fewer people at "my" spot then that's cool. What I'm not sure of is how good the gobbling is at that point. April can be dicey from a snow perspective, so I know that can impact how active they are.

We'll see!

I feel you there. It's like me with drawing a sheep tag. I'm in too deep to change species now. Just another few decades and I'll have my tag.
