Thanks for the nice words, don't know if I know the bonus point stuff inside and out or even backwards, but I try to keep up on this, as I know it is extremely important to all sportsmen, but especially non-residents.
I'm not sure I can get that 12B list now--I have to buy the lists and it is a minimum of a $100 for a 1,000 name purchase, but if those guys were NR and drew without maximum points, I'd sure be surprised.
Every year I hear about something like this, and most of the time I have the list to check to verify data.
Bottom line is that in my opinion every bonus point you have will help, but in the end it is only mathematical probabilities and not mathematical certainty's that we are dealing with.
Unless you are in the top group for some tags it is virtually impossible for NR's to draw for some tags ( deer and early rifle elk)in PREMIUM units.
Always glad to meet new folks from around the nation when we do these classes. The January class will be no exception.
OK, heading out to look at a ram in Unit 15D, we bedded him last night, and he looked pretty good, so who knows, we might get one today!
