So I got a email today for the 2022 Hunt Expo and it got me thinking about the odds from last year with not needing to validate in person. I looked up the number of applicants from last year and something did not seem quite right. I do not track the numbers to closely but I know 10 years ago the non-resident only tag applicants were around 750 and a couple years ago they were up to near 1200. I could not find the 5 hunts that are for NR only. Did they eliminate those 5 hunts or make them available to everyone? I was going to look at those hunts to see how many more NR applied that wouldn't on a normal year. I also use the Henry mountain deer tag as a gauge. I figure if you were going to apply for only one tag that would be it. There were 12K+ applicants which I don't think that is much higher than a normal year. Maybe not having to validate in person did not hurt the odds as much as we thought it would. I know the odds are horrible on the normal years but my buddy got a West K desert sheep tag so I am going to keep playing the game. What are your thoughts on the odds 2021 vs 2020
