Elk & Antelope Draw Odds

Recommended Posts

Flatlander, got a buddy that put in 7e first and 6a second early archery bull with 8bpt, Resident. Curious what his odds look like?

He's going hunting.

What about 1 resident applicant with 14 points for 1st choice is early rifle 10 and 2nd in early rifle 22N.

 

and 2 resident applicants with 6 points each for lope, 1st choice is 4a rifle and 2nd is 5a rifle.

 

the last is 1 resident applicant with 3 points, 1st choice 4a JR elk and 2nd choice 6a JR elk.

 

Thanks for all your devotion to helping and/or cranking up the nerves of anxious elk/lope hunters!

You are putting the same hunt for choice 1 AND 2? Just so you know, that makes no sense. If there are no tags for your 1st choice they go to your 2nd choice. If your 2nd choice is the same as your 1st, there are still no tags left. The same applies for 3,4,5. If there are no tags left for your 3rd choice, there are no tags left in the 4th and 5th rounds either...if you put down the same hunt #. All the unit 8 late archery tags are gone in the 1,2 round so you won't have a chance in the 3rd round. You should be putting the early archery 1st choice and late archery 2nd choice or in your dad's case, rifle 1st and late archery 2nd.

The reason some guys put the same # for the 1st and 2nd, is because that is the hunt they want, and maybe their 3rd choice falls in the BP phase. If their 3rd falls in bonus point, and their 1st. doesn't, then their 1st would not even be looked at had he of put it down as his second choice. By putting it as 3rd, it is not considered in the bonus point pass. In the rare event, their are left over tags from the 1st and 2nd pass, he still has a chance at drawing it on the 3,4,5 pass. Hopefully this makes sense.

His case makes perfect sense. He doesn't want to be considered for the bonus point pass for the late archery hunt. If 3 points puts him in the 1-2 choice bonus pass for late archery, he would never have a chance to even draw the early hunt. The only fail safe way for him to go into the normal draw after the 1-2 bonus pass is to do that. It may be the only chance he has to draw an early hunt. This is the same for both cases he presents.

It still doesn't make sense for him to put it as 1st and 2nd choice. Him putting it as his first choice is all he needs. Unless there is a rule against putting a 1st choice then skipping 2nd choice and then putting a 3rd choice.
