im pretty familiar with how the utah draw system works when it comes to group applications where you will be in the max point pool or the preference point drawing, but im still a little confused on how it works on a group app when it comes to the random drawing. im hoping some of you can explain it for me. heres an example. lets say i have 1 bonus point for LE elk. i have a family member with 6. giving us a total of 7, but averaged out, 3 a piece going into the drawing with a group app. we apply for an easier to draw unit for an archery hunt, but your max point guys will take 7 points to draw a bonus tag. lets say they give out 15 permits and only draw down to the 6 point pool, for 7 permits. leaving 8 for the random draw. my question is this, am i better off applying by myself with 1 point? or are my odds better in a group app with 3 points? if one of us were to draw a lower number and the other to draw a high number, do we both get kicked out of the draw? or do we both get a tag? im just curious how this whole thing works, since i dont have much experience with it.
