If they did indeed lower permits from 3 to 1, that explains it. If not, Hillbilly nails it. You had 14 points last year, not 15 and, so you can't go on those odds. How many other people had 14 with you last year that now have 15?
Last years odds are just a guideline, they don't tell you for sure what will happen this year.
Couldn't find the preference point info for '08, but here it is for '07:

You would have had 13 points in '07 along with 34 other people. Some of those would have drawn by now, but probably not all
Bottom line is that you are very close to drawing a good tag, but don't count your chickens.......
With 4 deer and 5 elk points after this draw, I have given up any hope of getting into the max pool in my lifetime. Just hope my number comes up someday.
