 Great explanation, thanks.

I wonder if they would tell us what# we were drawn at? It would be interesting to see how close I came to not being drawn.

Yes I was a witness.

So everyone putting for quality bull gets entered in the quality bull category.

The people with point get their name in once. The people with ten points get their name in the hat 100 times. All names for quality bull go in a drawing.

The computer then randomly assigns a number to each name. Person with one point gets one number assigned to them. The person with 100 names gets 100 different random numbers assigned to their name. Then they through out all numbers sssigned to you except your highest number.

The person with the lowest/smallest number gets first shot at the permits. In that case of having the lowest number you get your first draw choice and you are done.

 It only takes one name in the hat to randomly come out number one.

I can say that one guy in the room did draw a quality elk tag. Nobody else in the room did.

Out of 32,000 people putting in for quality bull my two points got me 20,000 something on the list of people that didn’t get drawn. I was able to see the guy that came in 574th on the total list. 573 tags he just missed out. My wife was 1,240 on the list of those that didn’t get a tag and my two kids were in between us. Out of all of us my wife had the most points at 15. My kids had 5&7. The one with five actually was closer to getting a permit than the one with 7 points.

They did the draw for quality bull, regular bull, quality mule deer and antlered moose. We verified our names were on each of those drawings.

We left after that and the did the draw for the rest the species and sexes.

There isn’t a way to rig it. It truly is random.

I though they kept your lowest number assigned to an individual and discarded all the rest, at least that’s what I read.

yes it is the lowest number that gets you highest or closest to the first pick.
