Point odds for Oil tags

[shanevg]

Haha my dad is in that top point category on both moose and mountain goat. I don't know what to think of that. Maybe I should plan some time off to join him on a hunt this fall. Then again the odds are probably still against him drawing.

Odds are probably still less than 1% for goat and less than 2% for moose even with max points.  Plus they are going down every year as we continue to water down the pot by squaring so many peoples points.  We really need to change our OIL permit system.

Those points are for 2015, when I had 20 points for Any Ram and for Any Moose, and there is still no guarantee that I will ever draw.  That's why I put in for Wyoming moose for 15 years, at least I knew I would draw eventually with preference points, and now I have a freezer full of moose meat.

You were smart to get in at the beginning.  Those of us that waited in WY (I've got about 9), are now stuck behind all those preference point tags.  Point creep is almost 1 point per year, I may never catch up.

yup, I missed one dang year and my odds are way different than if I had max points.  Stupid me spaced out one year!

So, wouldn't it put the better odds for the people with the most points if we got rid of the draw for the one lowest number to use in the final draw and just had the number generator draw a number to match a number in somebody's squared pool?
