Our draw is modeled after Nevada's. And they seem to have their *censored* together.

--- Quote from: bobcat on January 09, 2010, 10:24:44 AM ---Limiting choices wouldn't always increase odds. It would increase for some permits, and decrease odds for other permits. There would still be the same number of permits and the same number of applicants, so overall the odds would stay the same. That's the way I see it anyway.

-Look at the draw summaries on the hunts you apply for, you will see how many tags get drawn as 3rd, 4th choices. Then you will understand how it will affect your hunts you apply for. The hunts I apply for get drawn 3rd and 4th choice all the time, Limiting choices will increase odds period!

I don't agree. Like I said, you will still have the same number of applicants and the same number of permits. Odds will not change, overall. Sure, some permits will end up with better odds, but other permits will be harder to draw. It all depends on how the change affects what people decide to apply for.

Your not understanding the point of less choices, limiting choices means every hunt will have less names in the hat for them. Makes people narrow down what to apply for and gives the points system a chance to actually work.

Even better, quit buying any licenses or hunting in Washington PERIOD! Show those greedy *censored*s and don't give them ONE THIN DIME.
I salute your integrity and admire your stand on principal; I am inferior, so will keep hunting in WA, but will be deeply ashamed way down inside.

But the point system does work. Just the way it is. As I said, sure some of the permits would have better odds, and some would not. It's just wishful thinking on your part if you think your odds will suddenly get better by decreasing the number of choices. I'm not against reducing the number of choices. I would be fine with it if we only had one choice. I just don't think that people would all of a sudden start drawing permits just because they only had one choice. Again, overall odds will remain the same. The only way to really increase the odds would be to increase the cost of applying. They could also have a 2 or 3 year waiting period after drawing a permit.
