With regard to the sheep draw this year, the way I understand it is there are now 4 hunt codes; RMBS (17 tags), RMBS Ewe (12 tags), RMBS Ewe Archery (12 tags), and DBS (21 tags) for a total of 62 tags. Within those 4 hunt codes, applicants can select up to 3 of those 4 hunt codes, and then within those hunt codes, up to 3 hunt choices. So, each applicant could have up to 8 hunt choices (note the ewe hunts have only two hunts available).
The draw book then goes on to state that of the TOTAL sheep tags, Residents will be allocated 84% (52 tags), Guided Resident or NR up to 10% (6 tags), NR up to 6% (3.72 tags) so I guess that would round down to 3 tags.
Then elsewhere in the draw book, it says that applications are arranged in sequential order based on the random number order assigned by the computer and then the system sees if any of your hunt choices are available when it comes to your application. So for sheep applications, if I understand it correctly, once the computer gets to your application, it would see if your hunt choice is available, and then if so, if you are a NR or Guided applicant, it will make sure the 6% and 10% quotas have not been exceeded.
Therefore, a Resident or NR applicant contracted with an outfitter or a NR applicant can apply for any hunt code and be awarded the tag as long as the 10% and 6% quotas have not been exceeded at that point. Is my understanding of this year's sheep draw process correct?
Thanks,
