    Sort of. Stick with me cause this is kind of confusing to explain in text. The bonus pass assigns the first 20 tags of any hunt to the applicants for that hunt with the most bonus points. However, it is common for the group of applicants with the most bonus points to exceed the number of tags allotted for the bonus pass. In this case all applicants with the highest number of points would then be assigned random numbers and the bonus pass tags would be given to those with the lowest random numbers.

     

    Here is an example: Let's say that a hunt has 10 tags. This means that 2 (20% of the total) are available via the bonus pass. Now let's assume that the highest number of bonus points possible is 12, and that 5 people have that number of tags. Those 5 people are assigned random numbers for the bonus pass, and the lowest 2 are then awarded tags the allocated tags for the bonus pass. The other 3 people move on to the 1-2 pass with everyone else and are assigned new random numbers for that pass.

     

    I hope this helps, it's not an intuitive process by any means​

    Thanks. This makes sense; I think I understand. So from your example: say only one person had 12 points, and 5 people had 11 points. Those 6 people are assigned random numbers, and the lowest 2 are then awarded tags the allocated tags for the bonus pass. So it is possible the person with the most points won't get drawn?

     

    Actually, the person with the 12 points would get a tag. The other 5 people with 11 points would get random numbers and the lowest of those numbers gets the other tag.

     

    I see that now. Thanks.

    Just reading the draw process, and if I understand correctly, one could have the most bonus points of anyone applying and still possibly not get drawn because the "random number generator" could assign a low number. That means even the bonus pass is totally random?

    I drove my wife's Ford Escape 4wd since 2009 to hunt. Got me most places, but not everywhere I wanted to go. Ground clearance sucked. I beat the crap out of that thing. The mechanics were laughing at me and told me it wasn't designed for what I was using it for. told me I had to stop. Had to pack that thing to the gills to get all my gear in. I just bought a truck.

    I used to keep "handout bags" in the car: each contained tuna, granola bars, a bottle of water and a bottle of Gatorade. The ones I have a hard time saying "No" to are the ones that say they're single moms with kids. If they are lying to me, they can explain it when they meet their Maker. If I fail to help someone who really needs help, then that's on me.

    Sitting water is an alternative to road hunting (unless it's been raining a lot and then they might not be using the water holes). Another alternative - if you have time to scout - is to find travel routes elk are using going to from bedding areas and sit along these routes hoping to intercept. Usually it's possible to find water and travel routes short walks from the road; so there's not a lot of hiking involved. Like PRDATR said, once the shooting starts, the elk tend to move and change up their habits.

    Oh they pick those people on purpose. They want quitters or ones they know will tap out the first day. So they can make the show look like its so hard and tough to be alone camping in the woods . Shoot id be hunting and fishing every day.

    I was thinking the same thing. They don't pick the 10 people they think will do the best. They're looking for drama and entertainment, so they pick some they think will tap out fairly quickly.

    I've taken care of lots of patients with pacemakers/defibrillators the last 20 years working as a RN in a CardioVascular ICU. Lancetkenyon is correct, pacer/defibrillator placement is pretty common and complications are rare. They work. I'm only familiar with the lead type for implanted units. Praying for you and your family.

    Bigfoot is real. I was held captive in a cave in a remote canyon by a family of bigfoots for a year. How do you think I got my name?

    Fascinating, I have many questions:

    1) Do they shed? And if so, how do they keep from clogging the shower drain?

    2) How would you rate their hygenienical habits (Do they floss, etc.)?

    3) Is ordinary athlete's foot a terminal maladay?

    4) How would you describe their typical social stratification?

    So many questions....

    1) Yes they shed. No drain, seriously, they love to run around in the pouring rain.

    2) Major halitosis

    3) No, they go bare foot so no fungus

    4) This is somewhat embarrassing, but it's quite possible I'm the father of a human-bigfoot hybrid

    This makes a lot of sense to me, I'm a believer now.

    Don't be embarrassed, heck even Woppie Goldberg found someone to boom-boom.

    Will your hybrid be sterile? Or can you look forward to grand baby bigfeet to bounce? Can they be raised Catholic?

    Just guessing here, but I imagine sterile, like a mule. As far as being raised Catholic, I figure it's best any offspring be left in the wild to commune with God in His creation. Don't know for a fact if our relations were fruitful. Had to have some way to stay warm on those long winter nights -- that cave was mighty drafty. Come spring I made my escape at the first opportunity. Oh, and Bertha (that's what I called my Sasquatch sweetie-pie) was much better looking than Whoopie Goldberg.
    I F you were to return to Bertha's Clan, would you be welcomed back into the hairy fold or scorned and ostracized?

    When can we expect your memoirs?

     

    No memoirs. Some things are better left untold....

    Anyone ever seen elk with a pure white rump? Was up in rim country this weekend and driving out saw something with a pure white rump (no it wasn't a whitetail deer - way too big and no flag) running through some thick ponderosa pines. Didn't get a real good look at it, but it looked like a cow elk to me size and shape of rump. My buddy thought it was a antelope, but I've never seen antelope in that area before so far south. I joked it was an elkalope.

    Made a quick overnighter up to rim country. Saw elk, turkeys, (there was a roost not far from our camp and one was gobbling), coyotes, but didn't find any sheds. Found one dead head someone had already cut the antlers off. Saw 3 spikes still carrying their horns. Do spikes drop later than bigger, mature elk?
