If you believe it's not rigged you are a fool!!!. Doug Degelbeck drew his 3rd expo elk tag, the same person who has the UT state record muzzleloader elk and brought that same elk to the show the very next year. Darick Mower drew his 2nd Wasatch elk tag. The same Mower family that donated 1 million to SFW the first year of the expo. Heather Farrer drew the premium pausns deer tag. Last year 6900 people put in for 3 tags. I would assume similar application numbers this year for 1 tag making odds 1-6900 and she happened to be the one who got it. Are you kidding me??? Why stop there, the expo should have given Denny Austad the Henry deer tag. Let's not forget former President of SFW and wildlife tag auctioneer John Bair has drawn 2 tags as well in the past. The first one was for pronghorn and everyone persicuted him on this site, he said and I quote "If it was rigged I would have drawn my bighorn tag, that's the tag I really wanted", then he draws it the very next year. If you look at where the tags were allocated last year roughly 30 of the 200 tags went to residents in Vernal, Roosevelt and Duchesne. Their populations combined are like 32,000. Last year 1 person from Provo drew a tag. Provo's population is 117,000 and they got only 1 tag? Hunter densities are flat across the state. It has nothing to do with more hunters live in certain cities and so more people are are attending the expo from those cities. 1 tag to Provo and 30 tags combined to those other 3 cities? Explain that.. This year 0 tags to Provo residents (pop 117,000) yet 5 went to Vernal residents where their population is only 8,500. 3 tags went to Heber residents, population is 13,000. Statistically under fair circumstances that has got to be impossible to have those numbers. More tags should be going to cities like SLC and Provo because statistically they have a better chance with more people living in those cities.This year excluding Provo the remaining Utah County cities pulled 29 tags. Their populations combined are about equal to Provo. So why didn't Provo pull similar numbers? Salt Lake City residents only pulled 3 tags. The cities population not counting the metropolitan area is 200,000 and only 3 tags? The host city where more people are going to attend because it's held in their city. 2 people from CROYDON Utah an unincoperated city with a population of 96 drew tags, 2 of them!!!. I guess everyone from the town must have been at the show and put in for every hunt 29 times because going off of statistics that's what it would take, the city's population in 1880 was 249 its gotten smaller since then!. This year 23 non residents drew tags that originally were resident tags when the expo was created. 1/9th of our tags went out of state. Great for out of staters horrible for Utah residents. For those of us who attended the show basically 1 out of every 9 people were from out of state, going off of statistics assuming wife's, husband's and kids who didn't put in would cross reference each other out from both residents and non residents. I bet 1/2 of those 23 are affiliated with the expo in one way or another. 2 of those tags went to people from Moses Lake WA, did 6000 of the 21,000 people from Moses Lake Washington fly out and apply? Because statistically going off of draw odds that's how many it would take, basically 1/3 of the entire citys population would have to apply to have 2 people draw. 1 person from Hawaii and 1 person from North Carolina also drew tags. How many people from those states flew out here to the expo and validated their applications? Apparently around 3000 people from each state because 2 of them drew tags!!!!. 2 tags were given for Book Cliffs early rifle elk. Both tags went to non-residents from Idaho. Last year 3819 people applied for 2 tags as well. Assuming odds are the same this year which I'm sure they are. The draw odds would be 1-1909, what would the odds be that both tags go to Idaho residents? Astronomical!!! Excluding turkeys, bears and cougars most expo draw odds roughly range from 1-1000 to 1-9600. Every year someone draws 2 tags. The odds of drawing 2 tags in the same year would be like 1-10,000,000 odds. The odds of someone drawing 2 tags every year like what has happened since the expo started would then be like 1-100,000,000,000,000,000. There are those people who say " I know so and so and they are not affiliated and they drew a tag, so it can't be rigged". Those are they few people who are thrown a bone to make it not looked rigged, wake up!!! I'm not saying any of the individuals who's names I mentioned had anything to do with it. All I'm saying is there are WAY WAY WAY too many coincidences every year, and statistics that don't add up. There are a few fortunate people who seem to be luckier then the rest of the population. Better then winning the powerball lucky in some instances (seriously) having odds of 1-3000 and pulling a tag 3 out of like 6 years would be powerball odds. The very first year by far was the worst I remember recognizing about 10 people who were donaters, SFW members or people who had hunting shows (Trail of the Sportsmen). We all tell ourselves its for a good cause and it goes to wildlife. That's what we say so we can sleep at night. Or we argue the drawing is done by a 3rd party so it can't be rigged. Well if that's your arguement, numbers don't lie there is a serious computer error that needs to be addressed or an investigation into these host organizations needs to happen. Just look at the statistics and draw odds and you will see what I am pointing out. I am not looking to start an argument or fight with anyone I just wanted to state some facts and numbers. If there are misspellings or grammer errors I apologize.
