Outdoors with Don Q: Those going, not going big game hunting this fall
It’s now official: Systems Consultants, the private computer firm in Fallon that conducts the annual computerized drawings for Nevada’s big game hunting tags, has posted the results of the 2013 drawings at Internet website www.huntnevada.com for the whole world to see.
There were a whole bunch of winners and a heck of a lot more losers in this year’s drawings for tags for Pronghorn Antelope, Black Bear, Mule Deer, Rocky Mt. Elk, California Bighorn Sheep, Desert Bighorn Sheep, Rocky Mt. Bighorn Sheep and Rocky Mt. Goat.
As I have done for a number of years, I randomly selected some of the lucky folks who are going hunting this year and also some of the unlucky souls who are staying home and not going hunting.
So, with that said, let’s have some fun: If your name is listed in this article, it’s the result of my random selection process. And, on the other hand, if your name is not listed, it is also the result of my random selection.
So, for starters, based on my selections, here’s at least one lucky 2013 big game hunter for each letter of the alphabet from “A” to “Z” and some of those hunters drew more than one tag!

Finally
If you, too, would like to see the list of the successful and unsuccessful big game hunters, just go to Internet website www.huntnevada.com.
Once there, click on “Tag Results” and then go to “2013 Main Draw” and click on “Withdrawn,” “Successful,” “Successful Applicants by Hunt and Choice,” “Unsuccessful,” “Rejected” or “Bonus Point” and browse to your heart’s content (like I did). It is very interesting and very, very informative.
Bet Your Favorite Pigeon
Bet your favorite pigeon he can’t tell you which big game tags I applied for.
If he grins and says, “Don applied for a rifle, buck mule deer tag and a Silver State mule deer tag, and he was unsuccessful in the 2013 computerized drawings,” he could be one of the many people who have been teasing me about my lack of luck...once again!
