Somewhere between the Unit A and hat A, you lost me. I guess we must have had different statistics classes. Oh well, it makes no difference, as it sounds like they're staying with the 4 choices, but adding another 4 for the antlerless pool.

But boneaddict, we don't know what people would do if they were only allowed 1 or 2 choices. It could be that if people only had 1 choice, they wouldn't apply for the Entiat, knowing it is one of the most popular mule deer permits, and maybe the majority would then only apply for your Methow permits, making your odds worse. That's all I've been saying all along, is we don't know how odds would change for each permit. Some would be better odds, some worse. But overall, odds would stay exactly the same.

I agree. We don't know what others will apply for, but we do know that some units will recieve less applicants. Those units could change year by year depending on harvest statistics.

Like I said before, I saw a units applicants more then triple the year they went to 4 choices.

Hey Bobcat, you might as well just give up on these guys.  You know what comedian Ron White says..... :chuckle:

This has been an entertaining read, I think if choices were limited then what Bobcat is saying would come true, and for teh record I have been advocating limiting your choice to OIL species since before I drew a moose tag.  I'm sure you can find a dozen posts of mine to that effect, what I'd like to see before that is making us front the tag fees or increase the cost to apply.  $$$$ for the state and better odds for us serious about those tags.
