They haven't drawn yet. At least not for the ones I'm in.

You mean limiting all draw hunts or just the Grand Slam/Whitetail Bonanza/Gemsbok/Oryx/Big Horn Sheep hunts?
I could support limiting the special hunts but the public land hunts not so much. That be like if the Western states didn't allow non-residents to put into their draw systems.

If you go to other states for bighorn or some of the more rare hunts, out of state hunters get very minimal tags, which is why it typically takes 20-30 preference points to draw one. I see no reason out-of-state hunters for these exclusive hunts should be given the same treatment as in state hunters.

I don't mind nonresidents for public land or even the whitetail bonanza, and honestly don't mind them being in the draw for the others, but in state should get some sort of advantage. I'm thinking if you're in state you get your name in the hat 2-3x vs out-of-state only getting 1. That's still better chances for out-of-state hunters than most other states give, but would allow for more of a chance that a Texas hunter would win.
