Can always learn something new. I stand corrected as well...how do they regulate it? Who loses the tag(s) once they exceed the 10%? Do they draw in order of hunt #, in which case NR's are better off applying for lower hunt #'s or do they just re-draw all tags if they end up exceeding 10% NR?

So, would somebody please explain this to me, before I apply as a non-resident for moose? The way I have always understood it is non-residents are limited to no more than 10% of the total tag pool, by species. Right or wrong.
So why does the odds decline from there?
For moose, there were about 450 NRs for 49 NR moose tags (numbers are eyeballed, so might be off a bit). Appears NRs are less than 10% of the overall pool, so the 10% overall cap shouldn't be a limiting factor for moose. That means the posted odds for most of the tags should be right on! Conversely, with Cali sheep, NR's are way more than 10% of the overall applicant pool. About 340 NR applicants for two tags, or 1:170. If you take the $154 non-refundable license fee and the application fee and roll it into the WA Cali sheep raffle, you'd get about 15 tickets. Most years there are about 3,500 WA cali sheep raffle tickets sold, so your odds there would be 15:3500 or about 1:233. And that sheep raffle tag gives you the entire season with multiple units!
