So my wife Drew a once in a lifetime mountain goat tag in Alberta (home) the chances of drawing this tag is 0.23% We head hunting as soon as I fly home from Midland pretty excited.. does anyone else have any stories of impossible lottery tags.....
If you get your wife into hunting be prepared to have the smallest trophies in the house. She will show you how it's done.

To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.www.NewHopeEquine.com - Health and Healing through Horses.

I drew the only random draw Shiras Moose tag in Wyoming's best area in 2005. Odds were about .5% if I recall. Killed a great moose with my bow.
Congrats to your wife for the great tag! Hope she gets a great one.
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

I'm still waiting to draw my once in a lifetime tags. You can't draw the tags if you don't put in for them though!

I drew the Public Land Scimitar hunt a couple years back at Mason Mountain. Something like 2,600 people applied and they drew 16. That's about a .6% chance.
I'm not lucky often, but that time I was.

Still waiting on my Desert Bighorn tag. I'm sure this will be the year....
Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.
