[PLUVIUSWAPITI]

[bolsen]

Haha thanks, just drives me nuts people drawing with less than 5 points, some drawing their first year applying

HOW DID I NOT DRAW ELK WITH 10 FLIPPIN POINTS!!!!???

I have an excel sheet to very loosely estimate my odds for applications based on all the info from: https://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/permits/results/points/2017.php clicking into the detail PDFs.

you can't really know for sure point creep or group applications and I didn't spend much time developing a super smart algorithm, but it gives me a general idea of tag odds and what to apply for based on opportunity.

10 points is going to run around 45% odds to draw.  Next year you should jump over 50% so hopefully you win the coin flip.

Points - Odds
1 - 0.6%
2 - 2.37%
3 - 5.23%
4 - 9.16%
5 - 13.94%
6 - 19.44%
7 - 25.49%
8 - 31.91%
9 - 38.52%
10 - 45.16%
11 - 51.66%
12 - 57.90%
13 - 63.77%
14 - 69.20%
15 - 74.13%
16 - 78.53%
17 - 82.40%
18 - 85.74%
19 - 88.58%
20 - 90.97%

no deer for me. i went 7 years drawing it and have only been 1/3 the last few. weird.

Probably due to point creep, or more people starting to apply or a drop in tags, but here were my estimated odds going into this draw:

Points - Odds
1 - 25%
2 - 70%
3 - 93%
4 - 99%
5 - 99.94%
6 - 100%

Keep an eye on leftover tags.

Luck of the Irish.. I only had 3 points for elk 

[greenhead_killer]

might have been a blessing in disguise. im hoping to go to three other states as it is, so wa will take a back seat unless i draw a permit.

if my plans dont work out, ill look to grab leftovers in august

Not being drawn for multi elk means I'll be drawn for moose! That's how that works, right?

Same here. Hope I fair better with my out of state applications.  But probably won't.  Lol

I'm pretty sure. I didn't draw either so that works out to a.goat tag for me.

Drew elk!!!!

[W_Ellison2011]

Not selected for elk. I don't put in for the deer because I figure if I want one I can just wait and go pick one up if needed lol. Guess it will be a wait until they release the rest of the multi elk to otc sales and hope I can be 1 of the lucky few.

6pts and no multi elk
Funny
I remember when an elk tag was automatically
Multi season
Hunting and fishing license was like 40-50 bucks
And game was abundant and access was available and easy
Then the fish and game improved things

I recall they moved to user groups to eliminate “hunter overcrowding”
