Eskay,

I have only heard of 3 people with tags so far. Where did you get the tag infomation and points from?

That is a good thing to know when someone says they had 10 points and didn't get drawn.

I signed up for the email alerts on the DNR HSOforum. You can choose what info you want sent to you as it becomes available. I usually get a couple emails a week.

I also got a notification in the mail yesterday with my tag info.

I was awarded a permit in Zone D and I had 7 points, so I was one of the lucky 20 it looks like. My uncle and cousin both pulled tags as well and they both had 8 points. I received my confirmation in the mail yesterday. I found the drawing results from last year on line, and no one in Zone D with 7pts received a tag, only 8 and above, including someone with 16pts!

I finally got one for zone D as well. I had 7 points and am going to transfer mine to my son Mitch and let him take a whack at one.

Congrats Grayfox, I hope your son shoots one.

Are you hunting near Centuria? I hunt east of Luck, so not too far away.

Anyone hunt zone C? I drew a tag with 5 points. Planning on hunting south of Colfax near Elk Mound.. Anyone have any idea if there are any decent bears there? I deer hunt in the same area each year.

[HooknHorns]

Good luck to all of those who got drawn. I forgot the app. date again.
