Between me, my wife, and kids we were 0 for 40something.

I drew the 49 degrees north early bull moose tag.

I will be up there with you. Congrats

I am seriously jealous. Good luck man.

Might not be many that see it the same as me but I think they should cut choices in half for permits or change them all to only two choices like quality.

I have been saying this for years, would love to see them limit the choice options. Similar to how Idaho does it. Hard to think that State would willingly give up that much cash though.

But this would make no difference on odds of drawing. And sure wouldn't change anything as far as money spent on applications.

I've come to expect it, but I thought we might draw a youth tag or two.

Correct if they only limit choice, I was saying to make it you have to decide on applying for OIL or quality. Chance the # of choices is meaningless, if you want to improve odds you either need more tags or less hunters. Which of those is more likely to happen? Probably neither.

Might not be a popular opinion, but I think they should make you pick your deer species.

[trophyhunt]

I think if they made you buy your OIL tags before the drawing, and made you decide between applying for OIL or deer,elk, number of applicants would drop in half at least!!!  Thus, improving odds a tiny bit.

For those guys who hunt/apply out of state, question, if you had max points in other states draws, what would your chances of drawing be?    In 2018 I had 13 points for Wyoming, I had a 50% chance at a top tier tag, and drew.  I’m just guessing my odds this year in Wa w 30 points were below 5%??

for hunts like you apply for here? About the same.

my bull tag had 11 tags and just over 800 apply.  Wasn’t like I’m trying to get one of two tags with 3,000 applicants.

So roughly 1 available tag per 80 applicants, in a random draw if you applied for that tag 30 times you'd still have roughly a 68% chance of NOT drawing. With the amount of high point holders in WA its silly to think you should be guaranteed a tag with odds like that, even sitting on 30
