verado Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 How is everyone making out with the new system for this fall's hunt. Our camp in area 54 was extremely lucky in receiving a bull, cow and calf tag. Surf and Turf and smerchly 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surf and Turf Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 We didn't get a Bull tag in 26 with two guys having 8 points. How many points for a Bull in 54 Verado? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verado Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 We had one guy with 25 points who got the bull tag, 8 no good. The cow tag went to someone with 14 points, 7 no good. The calf went to 6 points, 4 no good. Based on this we could have a very hard time next year getting anything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf and Turf Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 Wow 25! At least with the draw you had a chance, now some people/groups will be looking at a decade or more before having a shot at a tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Its About Time Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 If I understand the new system correctly. Whoever received a tag and accepted their tag. They will have zero points for next year regardless of how many points they had to start.That means everybody moves up the ladder with their points if they didn't receive a tag. This is what was explained to me and they way I understand it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verado Posted May 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 That is correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseslayer Posted May 25, 2021 Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Yes...our group of 6 for archey got no tags for the first time in many years. We've shot over 50 moose archery and now we can't go...sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verado Posted May 25, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2021 Maybe you'll have better luck in the second draw Mooseslayer. One advantage of our big camp is that we have that many more guys to apply for. I personally got a bull tag 2 years ago ( my first in about 8 years) so I won't be expecting anything for many years to come. Another thing going against us in our area is that last year the tag allotment was dropped from almost 900 to around 275. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mooseslayer Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I had a tag last year as well so it will be a while for me as well. My brother had 11 points and applied by our hunt camp near kirkland lake and nothing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surf and Turf Posted May 26, 2021 Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I think that there will be an opportunity to pick up calf and cow tags in the second application period as lots of people are rejecting them, however I don't see many rejecting a bull tag.

verado Posted May 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2021 I believe you are right Surf & Turf. As my camp is only 4 hours away, I would continue to go with only a calf tag. I love the whole hunting camp experience and I would not care to miss it. Having said that, I don't think I would continue to make that long and expensive trek to northwest of Thunder Bay where I hunted for so many years with only a calf tag in my pocket. In 40 plus years of moose hunting, I have taken many a bull & cow but only once did I have an opportunity to down a calf. fishingking 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
