LEH results available!

You know I have been in BC for 22 years and in all this time I got a draw the second year I was here since then 21 years of NO draws I think there is something very wrong with the sraw sistyem in BC I have talked to others in AB and they have a better draw sistym there I think and maybe our gov should look at theres and adapt the same kind of time lines to make sure all are treated fair.
 
sraw sistyem

How many draws did you go for? What were the odds like on each of them? 22:1 odds and you're shooting par.

I've been putting in for moose draws that were less than 3:1 odds for 10 years and finally got one. Some folks seem to get them every year, or at least their non hunting, wifes, kids, brothers etc. get them.
 
how does the LEH system work? we have a draw in NB for moose and antlerless deer, and crown reserve salmon waters too i guess...but it sounds like BC has a draw for all big game?
 
BC LEH is available for: sheep, mountain goat, white-tail and mule deer (antlerless), elk, moose, caribou, grizzly and bison. Grizzly and bison is draw only. Vancouver Island elk and sunshine coast elk is draw only (rosevelt elk). You can only put in one application per species.

Supposedly your application is assigned a random number and a computer randomly picks numbers. If you have been assigned the number that is picked, that particular LEH hunt is awarded to you.

Some odds are a gimme, usually goat and grizzly in very remote areas. If you put in for those you will get it. Kamploops sheep is the most difficult to draw, there is one tag and the odds are usually worse than 1:600.

The white-tail draw I got was probably around 1:3. The elk (cow or calf) I put in for was ~ 1:7, moose (bull) was ~1:25 and mule deer was ~1:6.

Those are roughly the odds on the hunts I put in for every year. I have been hunting in BC for 25 years. Now I haven't put in every year, but I have for most. I probably have put in for over 50 draws. I have been drawn, in total, 3 times. This years White-tail, calf elk about 15 years ago and grizzly about 13 or 14 years ago. The grizzly and elk draws were under applied draws, meaning there were more tags than applications. So really, I have been drawn ONE TIME out of all those applications.

Just like what Bisonhd said, he's been applying for 1:3 odds for 10 years and only now did he get drawn. If you calculate the probability of that, it is quite unlikely. For example, the odds of him not getting drawn for 9 years in a row are as follows: with those odds there is a 66% chance that he will not get drawn in the first year, 44% chance he does not get drawn in the second, 29% chance he does not get drawn in the third, 19% in the fourth, 13% in the fifth, 8% in the sixth, 5% in the seventh, 3.5% in the eigth and 2% in the ninth!

Something doesn't add up! I don't have faith in the system.
 
i got really excited until i realized i fat fingered my hunter number. the number i entered by mistake got drawn for; bison, griz, whitetail doe, goat, and moose. in regions 4, 6, and 7, so that fellow is going to have quite the fuel bill come fall.

when i entered my info correctly though, i went 1/5 and got drawn for whitetail doe only.
 
White-tail doe in a far away place, and my hunting partner got easy cow elk, white-tail and mulie doe, all on numbers given by me :)

I usually have the feel of Christmas in July, when the LEH results come out :)

Busy getting ready for the new season, and this year I am working on my Canada Day project, a fine Long Branch in mint condition is now in process of being converted to a sporter for this years many hunt, don't get upset, there will be no metal cut, and it can be returned to it's original appearence, any time :)

Nil for our family as well. Oh well now we can go when our schedule allows and not have to try to arrange everything to fit a short season when we could be busy on the farm. Maybe there will be a youth season close to home so we can take the kids out for their first deer.
 
Well this is going to be Different.
No Moose
No Deer
