Well, just. From someone that has eaten both Bull, and Cow! I can honestly say that Cow Eats better! Besides, one can not eat Horns! And the Eye teath, Ivorys, whistlers or what ever you want to call Them and the Meat in the Freezer is the Best Trophy! LOLI think I have one point shy of maximum points , I'd have to look maybe 13 or 14 points . I'll be 58 in June . they give out about 100 general tags ,with about 20 being for a bull , and have over 20000 apply . out of that 20000 who knows how many have a bunch of points collected . this past season they started an archery hunt , and also a late season cow hunt . I forget how many tags each of these hunts have , but I think it's 10 - 20 each . these three hunts will all be kept separate for the use of preference points . I know I have about as good a chance of drawing a tag as getting struck by lightening , but I keep applying . when I first started to apply I applied for either gender , any area . after I started go get some points accumulated I applied for a bull only any area , thinking I didn't want to loose all my points on a cow . I guess what I'm trying to say is , you'll never draw a tag if you don't apply , but your odds are slim .
I was not aware there was a limit on points. Just checked mine and I have 13 even though I have applied in all 17 seasons. Applied for archery and late season draw when they begin last year, but the state shows 0 points for those seasons. From that I presume the max is 13. I dont Expect to get drawn and view this as a donation to support the herd.
According the PGC website, the first hunt was held in 2001, but the preference point system did not begin until 2003. By my math, I should have 19 points. Still Long odds.
Can't eat Horns! Be like the "fisherman". That fish you just caught and NO one was around! Yep, that one that you said was this LONG! Put the Meat in the Freezer and on your Plate. No one will ever know how Big (IT) was or the Sex if you don't tell!Jim, I'd hold out if I was you! There are lots of meat markets out there. But the chances of a 350"+ bull are pretty high. I wouldn't waste points on a cow!
