What’s the stat on draw for the GMU you chose?Originally Posted by Little Dutch
If I draw pronghorn, I’m giving it back. I mainly applied thinking I wouldn’t draw it. Not gonna pay 400 bucks to hunt stink goat. I’ll save that opportunity for when I qual as a resident again. Not gonna pay $10/lb+ for something so rank it has to be made into sausage to stomach it.

The status on my deer application went from "entered" to "accepted". I also got hit with the $40 charge.
ETA - Got my first choice.

There's a fine line between cuddling and holding someone down so they can't get away.
ok, I drew deer 1st choice. Adios pref points. Still waiting on pronghorn and elk results.

You're either handling the meat poorly or hunting in the wrong place if you don't like antelope. I've heard other people make the same complaint, but I've only ever shot one so I don't know. Mostly I've heard that from my kind of dumb neighbors. Sage seems to be a complaint. I shot mine up in Pawnee and don't know how much sage is around though.
Well, they are stinky on the outside. But pronghorn meat is excellent, delicate and sweet. Our cats prefer it to elk and moose. Care in the field to skin it quickly, keep the meat clean and get it cold soon is key. But I don't think it's exceptional vs. other big game. My pronghorn is fine after the drag across the prairie and the 3 hour drive home.
I think it does depend on various factors, including the ability to not let the meat get touched by the hair (which contains the oils and thus scents, which some people don't mind and others think is awful), whether or not the thing was stressed prior to the shot, etc.
This thread talks about the various experiences: https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/ant...-smell.271683/
I assisted with field dressing one and subsequently wanted to vomit every time I got my hands near my face for a few days. When the shooter was cooking the tenderloin that night, the other two of us there had to leave the cabin for a bit.
I've had it in sausage form and it was fine.

I didn't mean to start a debate about. I processed my antelope myself last year and it was my first ever attempt at doing anything beyond the most general of field dressing. I thought I was screwing it up the entire time (including during the field dressing) but it turned out to be the best game meat we've had by a long shot.
Anyway, looks I drew a buck tag in my muzzle loader area a year earlier than usual. Thanks Covid!
congrats! I'm hoping the lack of NR interest assists in my elk draw, as well.

Yeah, I'll be a year early for a bull tag for muzzleloader as well if that pans out.
NR shouldn't effect resident draws though since I think they award on percentages anyway. Who knows though. If NR people didn't put in and they had room...

I had to apply as NR. I really wish they'd streamline and bring into parallel the timelines for "residency" across the board of voting, hunting, etc.
Oklahoma resident status was 60 days.
