Basically your name gets put in once for every bonus pt. you have. It is not exactly that way, but the effect is the same. You get a random # for every point you have and keep your lowest #. More pts = more chances at lower #s. The way it works out a guy with 11 pts has a 10% better chance of drawing than a guy with only 10.
2_point, I feel your pain. I've been puting in for damn near everything (elk, deer, sheep, turkey, doe, cow, swan, bear) since I was 16. Now 16 years later, this is what I have drawn in my ENTIRE hunting career:
93 doe antelope (undersubscribed)
94 2-doe late season permit (cancelled before the hunt started)
00 doe permit (undersubscribed)
thats the whole list. I realize I haven't been puting in for the easiest tags, but 16 years..............gonna change my name to Hinckley......
