I got results for this tag on August 18th last year. Anyone have an idea of when results are released?

Deadline isn't until the 19th so it will be a few days at a minimum.

Thanks, they're pushing it back this year! At least it seems like that!

I’m not an antelope hunter, so I’m not much help. The application says results available online by aug 21.

one of my biggest complaints. One of the first seasons of the year has one of the last draws of the year. Seems like you find out a month before season starts if you're going or not.
What unit did you put in for?

Yeah, that is wrong. You have to look on the actual application they publish. I'm not sure why the SDGFP has that discrepancy, they did on deer as well.
The 14th was the paper app deadline but not online...

I've never heard of max points in SoDak. I'm not sure it works like that. All levels of points can draw.

Correct, its a cubed bonus system. Just stating that I have the maximum amount of bonus points you could have going into the lope draw, which is 12. Maybe someone has more that just hasn't applied yet like myself as I believe its been going on for 15 years now. If you look back over the last few years, no one is actually applying with those absolute maximum points and I don't think anyone exists anymore with those true max points

Preference points not bonus points.

South Dakota calls them "preference points" but reality is they are a true "bonus point" system.

Here was 2019 Draw and I stand corrected. There is someone with 13 points out there. I had 12 this year and have never tried for a tag yet as by the time this draw deadline occurs, I always already have a fall schedule.

I have 10 points going into this year, probably just getting a point this year

That's a $100+ in PPs that I can't justify for the hunt. I last drew in 2017 and if I don't draw this year, I will apply in another unit!

yes, I really agree as most of the lope units have plenty of public land to make it happen and from what I've always seen driving around western SD, it seems the quality of bucks are pretty similar north to south. the harder to draw units just seem to align with more public land.
....or 2 stout pints per year. I drew MT this year, so just another point....er two pints...for me this year.
