I am a member of GoHunt and I really like it. Actually split the cost and share the login with a buddy.  I met with "Trail" down at the Utah Expo and his knowledge of what tag I had the points for in Colorado was invaluable.  A unit that is under the radar or at least under the radar for Huntin Fool and Epic.  To me the cost was 1 tank of gas and I need any advantage to pull western tags as possible.

I just looked at quality deer in two units close to my house. Rifle, 13 points .46% and .74% chance.  :o

20+ points for OIL, or 10 points aren't that different.  I always thought I had a chance now I realize I likely will never strike OIL.

There was a thread a while back where someone calculated the statistics of our draw and showed that once you got to 7 points your odds were nearly the same for drawing as a person with max .

Once it gets to under 1%, it’s all the same.

Same here. I didn't realize how poor the draw odds were.

Man...I thought I’d made it my mission to communicate how poor the odds actually are.
On a side not I think WDFW hid or eliminated the ‘points used by permit category’ report...either way I can’t find em.
Second side note I do have the drawing odds for peaches rifle 2017/18/19...they’ve changed...just a little bit.

Expand the special permit category and scroll down to the bottom. They were put up last week some time Thursday or Friday.

I have 15 points in most categories and my odds are only going to get worse and worse each year.

We need to go to preference or something. We have THE WORST draw system in the country.

How about

1/2 go to top point holders who are in each draw
1/2 go random like idaho / new mexico?

We don’t have enough permits to support a preference system.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

With 15 in most categories you would essentially cut your odds in half by going 1/2 tags to highest point holders. Too many ahead of you.   :twocents:

ding ding we have a winner.  exaclty! there is almost no categories for buck and bull tags where we have enough tags to clear out point holders. It doesnt work when you cant cycle thru applicants. There will be a day that people will have 30 to 40 points for a elk tag etc

There is no fix other than to reduce opportunity.  Keep it as is or prevent a bunch of people from applying in some manner.  The rest of the proposed solutions are simply games that don't change anything.  When you have 500 people applying for 2 tags, the odds will never be good.
