Well, it looks like Radsav wasn't the only one who didn't draw. According to the numbers, 3 out of every 100 applicants did not draw.

This information has been available for quite some time but I just recently decided to look it up. I know last year a lot of us on here wondered how Radsav could have NOT drawn the MS deer, since in the last few years the number of tags available had been higher than the number of applicants for those tags.I read it as only "1 out of 100": 93 of 8500. The others who did not "draw" applied for points only.

With 8,500 tags being available, 97% of the applicants drew the tag. So, 3 out of 100 did not. But you're right, some of the those did not actually apply for the tag.
Radsav, your luck is even worse than I thought!

That's true. I only looked at the total number of applicants, which was 8,764.I'm gonna send him some money to buy me lottery tickets. Sure winner!

My neighbor says he didn't draw it also. I sort of didn't believe him. I agree with Longwalker. OTC. Lots of folks that draw it don't buy it. The folks like my neighbor and Radsav couldve bought one of they wanted to.
Agreed, that would be so much easier and efficient. Make it OTC, and sales cut off when they hit 8500. Or if they are banking that a certain percentage won't purchase, then cut it off when sales hit 6000 or whatever. Charge an extra $6 if they're worried about losing the application fee, it won't make a difference.

This tag needs to go over the counter. Then the three guys who didn't draw it but wanted it could buy it unlike probably 30% of the guys that drew it and then didn't want to spend the money. Silly draw tagI suspect that's already been factored in. They don't want to issue more than 5,000, and know they can sell 8500 without exceeding that.

Okay, I guess that explains why I hadn't found it until now. It wasn't there! I just assumed it had been posted several months ago.

:yeah: Please let me know what special permits you put in for. That way I can increase my draw odds. Better yet why don't I tell you what hunts I'd like you to put in for. :chuckle: :chuckle:

Radsav, your luck is even worse than I thought!
I know! Find out your my cousin plus don't get drawn for a multi-season deer all in one year. Then you flaunt your sheep tag and send me pictures of a nut sack. You'd think family would be nicer and more sympathetic to my pain :chuckle:
And the worst part is my wife has been laughing since 1:30 and I just found out why. She thinks this thread is the best thing since CL posted his Hello Kitty picture. >:( >:(
