I just got through using John's number and someone answered on the "7" prompt. I asked if the system was down and he said right now they are doing some drawings and it will be back up later.

I'll call back tomorrow. Be patient folks.

Just called my buddy that works at tpwd there doing all the archery and private lands drawing system will be down until later this afternoon for the updated hunts

Well, I guess I can go back to doing my work. I am still going to be thinking about though.

For those who had a disqualified app, how did you know? Did it tell you it was disqualified in option 2 checking the status of you app?

According to the Texas Bowhunter Public Lands board, the system will update at 5:530 today.

I have hunted there twice. Missed a big 10 the first year, I believe it was 3 years ago, but I did harvest a doe that year. Two years ago I saw a little 6 and killed a couple of hogs. I can't remember the compartment #'s but the first year was the last unit by the trinity and the next year was the unit right before the last unit! There are plenty of deer and snakes too. Good luck!

Sorry that was meant for sbk5280 in reference to big lake bottom!

Nothing so far...

It must be 5:30 pacific time

or 5:30 three weeks from now...

Still a no go as of 6am. Oh well guess we will get our cards before they get phone system updated

I finally got through. I am the proud owner of new preference points in several categories!

0 for 4. Bring on the next round!!

I didn't hit on anything. Now, I can finally get back to work and being productive. (for now)

Nothing but PP here. Back to waiting and hoping...

Racked up some PP

Does anyone have any good recipes for those Notice of Nonselection postcards?

I got thru on 1st call, got drawn for 5th year in a row for something...PLA at Kerrville-Shriner. Fingers crossed for the next round of drawings. Hoping for another banner year like last year, got drawn for 3 hunts plus my grandson getting drawn for a youth only hunt. Thank you TPWD!

Two hunts drawn, two preference points in the bank.

Hopefully I get lucky with something this year!

Include me in the more "Pref Points" club.

Make standby stew out of them and mix in some APH lands.
Just think next year you are one up on the rest. Good luck

Just called,sound like I got selected for either sex Private Lands at East McCulloch. Forgot that I put in for that one.

Only preference points on my end as well. This is the first year I've put in for these hunts .. sounds like these carry over for the same hunt for next year. I wonder what your odds are of getting a Pronghorn hunt w/o any preference points?

For the Gun Pronghorn with no PP, you can just assume you aint getting drawn. That's the hardest hunt in the whole system to draw.

My dad applied for 20+ years for it and never drew.

The Private Land Pronghorn hunt, your odds are better because the category is only in its 2nd year.
