If'n it makes ya'll feel better, most of the tags are drawn by people with 10-15 points...then again that's only because there so many people in that group...your odds are still horrible. Have a nice day :hello:
:yeah: That is a fact!

That's not correct. Applicants with five points drew the most permits in 2014.

We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

Ok dude. You win. Wait you lose...people with 5 points did not draw more tags than people with 10-15 points...I win. Really it's just a losing game if you look at the odds. Just put in your money/points and pray :)
I was talking in general and I was really just talking about the 19 hunts for which I normally look at the numbers. Which do not include the piles of guys that draw peaches, observatory, etc archery tags with their quality points. I also personally believe that 5 points is the best number with which to draw (I did in 2011).
It is hard to follow one great vision in a world of darkness and of many changing shadows. Among these shadows men get lost.

8 points for me, should be more but I drew a cow permit back in 2007, which was just a couple years before they split the permits into all the new categories we now have.
I am in the same boat. That's the only thing I don't like about how they split up the categories. If I knew it was coming I wouldn't of been applying for cow permitts. Just wanted to get my first elk

Same here. I drew a cow permit the year before the split. :bash:

Good call! Both times I have drawn elk permits I've been the higher point holder.  :chuckle: maybe I need better friends!

How many points you got... Buddy?  :tung:

I did get a Toutle tag with 2 points in 2011

 

My brother has the luck. It seems he gets a tag every year.

10 for me.  Hoping to draw before I'm too old to remember why I applied in the first place.
