Elk, Deer, Antelope 2012 Quotas

[ssliger]

The 400 tags was overall tags given out, the 309 tags was just the resident tags issued if you were to look at the non-resident draw odds it would probably show 91 tags. I believe that for limited quota areas they issue around 75% to residents 25% to non-residents, unless there is not a high resident demand then they will issue more to the non-residents.

Not to be rude, but when I try to give advice, I research what I say. In 2011 deer area 102 issued 298 resident tags, 7 non resident regular tags, 10 non resident special tags, for a total of 309. Its all on the WY game and fish website. It may not be like this for all areas.

My apologies ssliger, just trying to make a suggestion to why the numbers didn't completely add up. However the 309 that that you have added up is erroneous (298+10+7=315), but when you add the preference point non-resident(31) and the preference point non-resident special(21) to the equation it would be a total of 367. Which leaves 33 tags not in the draw, but that could be commissioner and governor tags that were given out. I believe the game and fish take those out of the total quota, and since 102 is such a highly sought after area 33 governor/commissioner tags in that area is not outside the realm of possibility. Not to be rude, I COMPLETELY research what I say.

My apologies Wyohunter.Looks like I'm not good a math. I didn't know there were the different draws for random and preference. I need to do more research. That is what I like about this forum is you learn something all the time. Again my apologies for being rude and poor math skills.
