Anybody hear anything in the draw? My e-mail is working, I’ve tested it, why isn’t F&G contacting me to tell me I was successful?

I think it'll be tomorrow. They usually release results on Friday.

Patience was never a virtue I developed.

I’m starting to miss the old days when they literally put names in little slips of paper and drew names out of a hat. Including the notification via USPS/Pony Express, the process took way less time than this new electronic system.

I have never been in either of the units with controlled spring hunts. What, if anything, is special about those units?

22 has been a draw only unit for a long time, and now has an amazing age class of bears. Lots of color phase as well.

They have opened it up now for a late(r) spring season, but you have to be within 1 mile of private (or on it.)

Not selected.

Shocker.

Not selected X 3 for me and my boys. Was worth a shot.
