How do you know your numbers?
I emailed the boss and asked for 'em. LOL They're not secret but for some reason nobody asks for the info.
Understand that Oregon uses a seed or starting number for each species and goes up from there, eventually looping back around and coming up to the seed number. You want to be above it but not by too much. The random numbers are 10 digit, as in Billion.
Comparing the numbers and seeing where you are works best for the random side cuz you don't have the point pools to deal with. It's not real scientific but should give you an idea of your chances; decent, maybe, or no chance at all, which is where most of mine landed.
My closest number is only "800 million" above the seed but it's a premium hunt with only one tag. My numbers stunk.
