I have zero points as of right now but I'm tired of putting in on some of these hunts I've been on. My question is how long will it take me to get drawed for the Island, if I start my points this summer?

I think about 8 years minimum starting at zero.

about 7 8 or 9. The bad thing is that often times people get drawn for the hunt and then do not show.

I killed a doe this this year and she was 6 1/2 to 7 1/2 years old. They are like rats out there they should increase the limit to help the pop. control and then have a stand by list for those who do not check in say before a certain time.

I agree with the stand by, drawing a few alternates would eliminate a tag going unused, and would make a few more people happy as well as help accomplish TWRA's goals.

The no-shows are primarily on the doe hunts. Very few miss the buck hunt.

Big Wes, Not to hijack your thread but do you or anyone else know of anyone who has ever gotten drawn first time around? It seems like the preference points are a must in order to hunt there. Is that the case?

I put in for 6 or 7 before I was drawn in 2008 for the Ensley Unit.
