just heard bear lottery results are out........... bummer........didnt get drawn!!!!!!! prefernce points......4

Ya. Buddy of mine had 4 points for up here which should have been a for sure draw. Neither him nor his boy drew this year. I was shocked. Pretty crazy to take 5 years to draw up here now. That means 2 more years before I will draw.

It's been 5 years between  for a while. I pay pretty close attention after baiting starts and I haven't seen anyone baiting or hunting in our area for a long time.

When I first started applying which I think was 2009 we drew every other year. Then they dropped the permits to like 130 and then it was every 3 years. Then down to 100 it was 4 years to draw with a couple drawing at 3 points. Now it is still 100 tags and 5 years to draw.

Yup.  Used to be at least every other year you got one. Every year for a few times too.
