Poll: How many OIL tags have you Drawn in the Last 20 years of Applying

[MThuntr]

2021 MT Moose
2026 MT Mountain Goat

Technically they aren't once in a lifetime because I know several people that have drawn multiple goat and moose tags

If you look at the odds and talk to the people that apply they are more than once in a lifetime. You are also bucking the odds.

Ever see No Country for Old Men? Remember when the old lady asks the cab driver how many people she knows in El Paso?

Four of my own tags in the past 24years in MT.

2003 Moose
2007 MtnGoat
2022 Mtn Goat
2022 Bighorn Ram

Wife drew a Bighorn Ram in 2006.
Wife drew moose in 2018.

We’ve held four good LE bull elk rifle tags in the family and two good LE mule deer permits in that time frame.

Great thing for me is I’ve got a pretty good pool of friends who have let me join when they’ve been lucky enough to draw.

To date I’ve been on at least ten mountain goat hunts , six bighorn ram hunts and three moose hunts.

I get to tag along on at least one more mountain goat hunt and a great rifle elk permit hunt this fall.

Any bison?

I will up it to 1 tag in 30+ years of applying every year in Washington as a resident for M/S/G. Finally drew my goat tag in '24 only because the WDFW screwed up the draw and generously allowed those that drew to keep the tag. Would have been an issue since the screw-up didn't come out until I had the tag in hand. I think there were 14 total goat tags in the State that year and this year as @Irrelevant stated above, only 7 tags this year. Yeah, odds suck but can't draw unless you apply.
