Congrats Don, that's awesome! I assume you redeemed some points?
After you apply for a tag and the draw is closed they propose and approve tag numbers. This could help or mess someone up on the draw as tags can be added or taken away and you would not know until later. They had a Bison hunt last year that had issues and the board decided to give everyone that was unsuccessful a chance to hunt this year again. I think like only 3 or 4 people have a chance to draw this year due to that.
Lang,
I had 16 points. I have been going for the Bookcliffs, but changed it up after some talks with friends that where in the unit. Im pretty excited, will be taking 3 weeks off and at least one of my boys (maybe two) will be along. Been pouring over Google Earth, and hunt OnXmaps and getting as much info together as I can.

I would take a look here for draw odds for Utah. https://www.toprut.com/hunt/utah-elk-minimum-bonus-points-archery/nr/um/79/?view=list
The unit I drew had 3 tags for NR. 1 in the bonus pool where the highest bonus point holder gets and the other two everyone that didnt get the one tag has a chance at. Resident odds are a bit better, but I beleive you have to choose your animal your building points for. Once you draw a limited entry tag for elk you have a waiting period before you even can build points again. Theres a good explanation here http://www.hunterstrailhead.com/index.php?ID=48
You have to buy a hunting license to apply for points or a hunt. The license is good for 1 year from date so if you buy the license late in the app period you can actually use it for two years since you can apply early in the period the second year. If you look at the overall tag numbers in the NR draw there really isnt a bunch of tags, but for the overall cost to apply you have a chance to draw a tag every year although the chance may be slim.
