To add to this thread on questions-Does it matter who the leader of your group for a group tag is. Whether they have 1 pt or 15?

If a permit is available, it is awarded. If a permit is not available, your second choice is evaluated next. If a permit was not available for a particular hunt as your first choice, it will never be available as your second choice for the same hunt. CouesFanatic, here is how the draw works. First, the agency takes all of the names (those who bought an application for that hunt, for example "Quality Deer"), and puts those names into a hat. Second, for each applicant, the computer generates randomly drawn numbers--you get two numbers if you have 2 points, eighteen numbers if you have 18 points. Third, the computer throws out all but the lowest number generated for each applicant. Fourth, the computer then selects the lowest number for all applicants, and looks at his first hunt choice. If that hunt choice is available, he gets the tag, and the computer moves on to the next lowest number; but if that hunt choice is not available, the computer moves to the applicant's 2nd hunt choice.Do you see why your idea is meaningless? If your number is drawn (because you have the lowest number of all applicants), then you will get your 1st hunt choice, if it is available. But if that tag has already been filled, and the computer moves on to the 2nd choice, you will still not get that tag. Therefore, if you really only want one special hunt/area/tag, then only choose that hunt on your application. Good example, except your wrong on the amount of names in the hat. Your number is expenential, so if you have 2 points you have 4 names in the hat. 18 points you have 324 names in the hat, just times the number of points you have by itself.
