You don't get it. Take a statistics course. That may help.

I can remember when you bought your $5 hunting license and you were allowed to go get a bull, a buck, etc and there were no tags or permits to buy and you hunted anywhere in the state you wanted ... and you could hunt with a bow in September, gun in Oct, muzzleloader in Nov, and bow again in Dec/Jan. And there were general either sex late seasons open for everyone to boot.
:bash:
Then you had to start buying tags for the species you wanted to hunt, and if you also wanted to use a bow and/or muzzleloaders you had to buy a special permit to use those addition weapons.
And then they started making you choose what weapon, choose what side of the state to hunt, get special permits, etc. And if there were say 125 permits for a hunt/unit, you put in for that one hunt and only that hunt (no 2nd, 3rd, or 4th choices). I also remember that it wasn't split 10 ways to Sunday (ie: 25 youth, 25 over 65, 25 disabled, 25 AHE, 25 regular, etc) and everyone had an equal chance each year no matter what (nor how many points you had accumulated).
:dunno:
And here's the capper ... there were lots more hunters and lots more game for those hunters. Is WDFW making it better for us? Do they have a clue as what to do for the hunter to improve the opportunties? I sometimes wonder ... at least I can afford the time and money to go to other states now if I so choose.
:twocents:
Thanks WDFW !!!!
