How many points will be needed?

This is for non-residents.

Do you think the points required to obtain limited entry deer tags will increase, stay the same, or possibly even decline in some areas?

I know the thought of point requirements declining seems almost impossible in today's world, but I also think a ton of guys jumped in and burned their points the past couple of years. So maybe it's possible?? I would love to see the data on the number of total point holders at each point level, but I am not sure where to obtain that data.

Anyway, what does everybody think?

All of that data is on the website under preference points. Good luck. To many variables to be able to determine that. Wish I had a crystal ball.

I did not realize the preference point data was listed with the other hunt data, but it most definitely is.

Thanks

I would hope they would drop the tag numbers. But we won’t know any of that business for quite some time.

I can’t imagine odds getting better anywhere. There are just so many people at every point level and not enough game to really increase tag numbers anywhere.
I’m sitting on about 20 points and still trail a hunt of interest by 2-4 points, that’s what I trailed the same hunt in 2003! 20 years of treading water really.
