If so, there's basically zero chance of a second draw in Dayton anyway so you will never have to worry about forgetting to add that to your choices. I think that tag will never get filled with a second choice pick.

No.
They go by the priority of your choices. A few second choice applicants got drawn in Dayton, simply because their first choice was already filled.

:yeah:
They simply put all the names in the hat times the number of their points squared and start drawing. A name gets drawn, then they look at which units that person applied for: 1st and 2nd choice both. If there's any tags left in either hunt, then that person gets a tag in that hunt. If not, then that person sees "Not Selected" on their results, even though they were selected for a chance to see if there were any tags left for what they applied for.

Post by: OlympicElkJunkie on May 17, 2011, 10:37:31 PM: Thanks for clarifying. I guess Washington's draw process is different from Idaho's in that respect. I certainly didn't want to mislead anyone and was making that assumption based on an Ask Fish and Game article I read. Guess I better get my second choices in :)

Post by: rosscrazyelk on May 19, 2011, 08:12:41 PM: you are better with the tucannon tag anyway. The harvest report fro last year read 100% for rifle if I read it right
