don't really see a problem with it, I think it would be an awsome tag, and might generate some excitment about possibly drawing that tag.

Sounds to me like you have the same hunt as Mr. Agnew at a $68,000.00 discount.

I think they need to limit choices so that draw odds improve everywhere else. With this 4 choice thing you'd be an idiot not to apply as your first two choices. If it were your only choice, well, people would have to think a little.

I agree Bone, those premier tags should never go to a guy who put it down as a 4th choice. I think two choices on the draw would help the odds a ton. I will have 12 points this year and probably won't draw the bowtag I want while a guy with 2 points will get it on his 4th choice and he won't even know where the unit is!nwhunter

The odds are probably similar to winning the lottery, but somebody has to draw. I've got 11 points going in...

My prediction- draw odds for the rifle rut tags will be similar to sheep tags. Those for teh regular big bull tags will get a little better, perhaps a couple hundred less people putting in for them.

Maybe breaking it down even further by having bull draw units only elegible to be drawn once every 3 years or so too. Still allowing a guy to get points but just not be able to put in for the branch bull tags.

Ya really or put the guys who get poacher points in a different drawing or something. Makes me mad guys drawing promo tags then all of a sudden right back to the points that us guys that have been applying since the begging have, well close anyway. I guess I need to just hunt for poachers! ha

I agree that it would be more fair if after you draw a premier tag you are out of the draw for 2-5 years while building points, they do that in several states. While the poacher points advantage seems unfair in a way it seems no more unfair to me than a guy drawing with one point vs guys with ten plus. Sorry to poach the topic here maybe we need to start a new post on the points issue. nwhunter

I think they will be great tags. i just wonder how many people will put in for them and if it will level out other tag options. I wish they would lower the amount of options you can put in for like 4 to 3 or even as low as 2. people would really have to decide what they would like to put in for.

even one choice would be great I think! Would you put in for a rut tag then? I bet the hunts with around 800 apps would gp down to about 200 and with 14+ points you should draw I would think! maybee not a rut hunt but some of the other premo hunts. I hope they do that next year!

don't we all. It could massively improve hunt odds....with so many frustrated individuals, I am not sure why they don't catch on.

To be honest I am surprised they finally changed the draw and hunting reg dates. Took them years to do that one. I complained every year. i hated finding out in late July (if they get it right) I like the idea of one or two. That would really even things out I believe. does anybody know if they are thinking about changing it up? I know there were some talk about it but I did not hear anything concrete??
