Draw Question
« on: April 14, 2009, 01:46:33 PM »
The far right column in the hunt choice table lists the number of 2008 Apps.  Does anyone know if this is the total number of applicants for that hunt or the total number of applicant’s points for that unit?

I’m trying to guess at my odds for being drawn, they are slim, just wondering how slim.

Number of applicants
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Thanks.  That makes the odds slim to none.

But on the bright side CPHunter, since you are only 1 year old :chuckle:, if you start putting in this year, by the time you pass hunter's safety you will probably get drawn for a quality deer tag, and branched antler bull before you graduate high school. :tup:  You will still never get drawn for a sheep tag though.... sorry.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.  That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Actually PF there is no min age requirement to take the test, you must simply be able to pass the test on your own, so since he can read and write at 1 he can still take it. :chuckle:

But the recoil of a 300 Win Mag at the age of 1 would probably leave a mark

Is that number the total number of applicants (all choices) or the total # of first choice applicants?
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

with so many variables, is it really possible to predict odds accurately for wa. state?
there's a link floating around here somewhere that gives the average #of points people had to draw each tag. thats a good thing to look at. i'll see if i can find it.

You are right Phool, we would let him in to take the written portion, but I am not optimistic about his chances on the field handling section.  I have a 1 year old, he can barely clear the chamber and can only demonstate 2 of the carrying positions... :chuckle:

Boy, you go away for a few hours and you get all kinds of crap. 

I should take one of those hunter's safety classes though some day, when I grow up.

Oh, just saw this...must be why "Jerome" PM'd me and asked for a link. All you have to do is go to the WDFW site and it's right there, but here you go:

  http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/game/hunter/specperm/


And, there is no way to predict odds of drawing. Not when everybody has the option of putting down 4 choices and there's no way of knowing how many points each applicant has. All you can do is what I do and divide the number of applicants by the number of permits and write it all down. This number won't be the actual odds but is a way to compare.
