Most of the guys i hunt with are going in with 3 and two of us are going in with 5.  All as single hunters.  Hopefully we will pull a permit or two out of the area we want.

It's odd how many there are with 5 points...only 1 unit took 4+ points and 7 took more than 3 on average.

As I've said many times, the average points means almost nothing. It's an interesting number to look at, but just not really useful. As an extreme example look at some hunts that only have 1 permit available, of which there are many. Say 2000 people apply for that hunt and on average they have 8 points each. But the person that ends up drawing it has only 1 point.... average points to draw that permit = 1. So how reliable is that number in knowing how many points it takes to draw that permit?

Didn't get it last year (1 point) & I put in this year (2 points right?).  Well I got a bear on this draw in 2008 so I won't be a whiner.  Before you whine consider what you would feel like at age 70 (I am definately burn'in daylight).  But the bears were cool & maybe it is a young buck's turn eh?

I'm in with 5 points this year, but like Elkstuffer, I'm in for just a point as I don't have time to go and don't want to burn my points and then not have time to hunt. With my wife working weekends, and me working during the week, that leaves me with NO time to hunt, unless I pay a babysitter or take the kids with me.

I drew the first time I put in in 2005 with 1 point.
Didn't draw the next year.
Drew the following year with two points.
Drew the following year with 1 point.

I should have a total of three. I only put in for N Skagit since it's in my backyard. I would have over the average points that it took to draw lat year but everyone knows that doesn't mean much.
