Post by: Alan K on June 13, 2011, 07:34:10 PM: Regardless of the amount of points you have, they increase your odds very little. We're about as random as Idaho!

(Which everyone loves, yet despises our system. Ironic right?)

It depends on the permit. For hunts with higher numbers of permits, and relatively few applicants, I think the points help a lot. But yeah, with hunts that have something like 500 applicants for each permit available, your odds with 10 points might be 1/2% better than someone with 1 point.

I really do wish this state had never started the point system. Although for me it is a benefit, since I got in from the very beginning. (until they screwed me last year with spreading points into all the new categories) :bash:

Well I am not picky and will take just one permit this year. I kind of like only getting one, so you can focus on that hunt versus having multiple permits.

Post by: bobcat on June 13, 2011, 07:58:53 PM: I'm not picky either. I haven't drawn anything since 2008. So even just the 2nd deer tag hunt I applied for would be nice. I figure out of all the hunts I put in for, I have a 33% chance of drawing ONE of them.

Post by: Big P on June 14, 2011, 10:10:59 PM: When my buddy applied, he printed out his choices "just incase". When he got his results today, all of his selections were ghost points and he didn't apply with any. He called the game department and they told him he screwed up. It seems like there have been issues for the last 5 years or so :bash:

Post by: Jburke on June 14, 2011, 11:11:43 PM: My group drew cow tags and second deer tags. Should be good eating for the next year for all of us. The cow tag won't be easy but the second deer should be a slam dunk.
