Special Permits

[dreamunelk]

Concentrating on hunting general seasons and learning to hunt and learning and area should be you focus.  Just putting in for an antlerless permit will not increase your odds in most cases.  Especially if you put in for an area you don't know.

As for the seven bucks well I think other have covered that above.

I don't think your math is right? I pretty sure going 4 squared is not right. Because I sure the average person applying for the drawing doesn't have 4 points. I would guess the average points of people applying have more like 2 points. Just because the people that draw have an average of 4 points doesn't mean the people applying haven an average of four points. Or I might be totally wrong?

No you're right. The average points of those who drew is different than the average of all who applied.

I originally read it to mean the average applicant has 4 points.  But now that you say it,  I could be wrong.  Does anyone know if that column is average applicant points or average points of the people who drew the tag?

posted 15 seconds before me.  Well, that's good.  Raises the odds quite a bit.

Average points for 2012 Antlerless Deer was 3.63.

It is the average points for the hunters who drew the tag the year before.
