I am listening to Dave Ware's recap on the new permit system and a book title is coming to mind... "How to Lie with Statistics."
Some takeaways:
Bottom line, odds went down across the board (more hunter apps + less permits available). Looking to increase permit fees in 2012; $6.50 to $13.00 in 2012 for quality hunt permits. 143k total permit apps in 2009 vs 233 permit apps in 2010. Suggestion to have more special category for people with more than 10 points. 673 people were drawn for multiple permits; 311 for elk.
