If you look at the draw summaries this happens more than most people realize. Last year a guy burned 17 points on a 4th season bull tag in GMU 4, 0 points was 100% draw. Another burned 16 in gmu 11, again 100% at 0 points. Another burned 18 on an either sex 4th season with 100% at 0 points. And the bonehead of the year award goes to the guy who burned 22 points on a 1st season bull hunt in gmu 19 that was 100% draw at 0 points! I don't know if they made mistakes and just turned the tags back in and got their points restored. If they didn't they are truly idiots.
Yea this happens more than you would think and is the reason why banking would actually ADD points to the pool every year. Making it harder to draw every single unit out there while not helping the very top end units.....
Just the 4 hunters you listed above would have added over 70 points to the pool in one year alone under banking. The next year if they hunted - these 4 hunters would likely add 60 points to the pool. This is while likely displacing another 4 hunters every year adding 4 more points to the pool as the CWP them selves will say that the 0 point units are a thing of the past under banking..
So for these 4 guys to burn all the points under banking in the units they choose to hunt - it would likely add depending on where they hunted, how many points the units leap, and who they displace banking would ADD over 250 and very likely more points to the pool. Yea just these 4 alone.... Take into account all the point holders out there and banking will add literally thousands of points to the pool every year.
For this reason as well as a long list of others if banking comes back get ready for point leap like has never been seen anywhere in the west.... Good thing is the CPW is realizing these numbers are real and has all but eliminated the tried and failed option of banking. I also have talked with a commissioner directly as well as 3 folks who prepared the CPW preferred alternatives paper and from how they talk we will not see banking back.
