I don't totally agree with Dogfish's answer. Your friend who put down 4 choices as opposed to your one choice wouldn't necessarily have better odds of drawing a tag. The 3 last choices could be tougher to draw than the 1st choice, therefore his odds of drawing any of the last 3 choices would be zero, because he would get the #1 choice, or he wouldn't get any. I realize this probably doesn't make sense, you have to understand how the drawing system works. If you go to the WDFW website, somewhere in there is an explanation as to how it is done. All you really have to remember is don't put down any hunts that you aren't willing to lose your points over.

Now that part about not losing points when drawing an antlerless tag I would like to know more about also. I never heard of that. Dogfish would you mind elaborating on that? If that is true I wish I would have known before I applied...I could have put a cow hunt down for my 3rd and 4th choices, but as it was I just left them blank.
