Just went in and checked. Not drawn again with 1001 preference points. Complete BS

I finally drew a central tag, but since applying I have had work and family obligations fill my calendar to the point that I don’t think I can get away to hunt either of the weekends. Argggg



If I decline the hunt, I still keep my points for next year, correct?

I’m not sure but I think so. I know if you decline alternate you keep them but I’m not 100% on if you’re selected

I thought the draw was tomorrow

I understand that you do keep them

Was yesterday (2nd Tuesday in July) We didn't even bother with it...

I got a central also

Chuckie doesnt like you and has told his minions that you are blackballed.

If Chuck Sykes knows me and doesn’t like me that’s a badge of honor

Killed a 12 foot 11 inch in central zone few yrs ago

Wow 1001 preference points and not drawn. Well it looks like I am getting out of hospital in time to go gator hunting at the coastal zone. I would be thrilled to just catch a jubilee. Any thoughts yall on Coastal. I figure just do a bar crawl on on inercoastal waterway and sooner or later a decent gator should be traveling.

Missed yall!

Yes I don’t even know how they calculated it

Me and my 3 friends all struck out. Sucks. If anyone needs a tag along, I’d love to go! I have all the gear except a boat and I can have one of those if I can bring a friend.

If it was me I would go to the northern part of the bay and just stay on the south side of I-10. I see gators there every day crossing back and forth. Just watch your depths. It gets skinny quick in some spots.

Yep and that is some surenuff skinny water immediately South of Causeway. We are going to do a marina crawl on intercoastal. Sooner or later a good one should cross. Got 2 weekends and a free barniminium near wharf.
The videos I have watched remind me of 2007 ( year 2 when gators just were not that scared of getting burnt eye. ) I have been disabled in bed for almost 3 years. This is my time for adventure. Atleast thats the plan.

Good luck with it. I'm glad you are getting to go.

There are always a couple big gators hanging around in D'Olive Bay. Just need to catch up with the right one. Lotta skinny water down there. Be careful where and how you run.

Thanks Abolt300! We typical put in at Bluegills and ran up to Gravine, Cliffs and little tensas East of Gravine. We might even put in at bayou labtre one evening. I did the lillian swamp forever wild tract study and I like the north west end of Perdido also.

Jalen I grew up running around in that bayou la batre/ grand Bay Area. I've never seen a gator down there. That was years ago so I'm not saying there aren't any now but I ducked hunted that area pretty heavy from 2010-2020 and I don't remember ever seeing one. I think we might have seen a couple when launching from the Pascagoula side up close to the launch in the river but not out in the marsh. But I haven't been out there in a few years

Just counted 6 gators south of the bayway while driving across. Get on the X!
