I dont get it I've registered for 3 years now and I cant get one damn hunt. I had 9 preference points and I registered for 19 deer hunts. Im ticked off.

Kinda. You get a point every time you register for a particular hunt. I've got 3 years of points accumulated for the old SOA hunts, but only 1 now for all the new ones. But if you and I have both registered for say, the January 20th hunt at Cedar Creek for 3 years, I don't have more points than you just because I register for everything. We both would have 3 points. If you get drawn it resets.Doesn't make sense, I really thought this was the year. I guess I'll get my hopes up again next year. Do you get more preference points if you register for more hunts?
As much as I dislike the way ADCNR works I really think it is a random draw. Gator tags are the same way. Some folks have "hot streaks" and some never seem to get picked.Where do we send our checks to Ole Chuckie to get on for next year

Just what I've seen as I register. You build a point per application and lose them if you're drawn.I gotcha, did someone explain that to you or did you read it somewhere? Time i go to Iowa in 4 to 5 years i will probably get drawn.
Draw huntDumb question: What is a SOA hunt?
Give them my number.Gotcha.
Meanwhile in my hunting area, the old timers are having "church meetings" encouraging everyone to fill all their tags since the deer keep eating the crops. Some fields have had 100+ deer grazing in the evenings.
Are you sure? I thought it was species points, so it doesn’t matter which hunt you register for as long as its deer you get species points.Kinda.

The vast majority of Alabama public is open-access. You couldn't hunt it all if you tried. The draw hunts are usually nicer. But some of the new ones look like crap tbh and I've hunted some real nice open access stuffSo if u don't get a draw and don't have private land back up does that mean u don't get to hunt or is there areas that don't require the same paperwork?
