So as stated in the MRS, there's a 10% cap on NR tags. The state to give everyone a better chance is now going to reserve 5% of NR tags for the Bonus point draw and 5% for the random draw. In every hunt category EXCEPT sheep and bison, the cap is by individual hunt.
So - my question is on hunts with less than 20 tags. How do they round?
Take for instance elk 23 south archery. There are 15 tags allocated. One gets set aside for the bonus point draw. Then there's 1/2 a tag left for the random. Does that tag exist or do they round down? I'm assuming if a NR hit the tag and there was 1/2 a tag left they'd get it, but that's an assumption.
An even more important question arises looking at the Pronghorn draw. Several units have 10 tags. So they set one tag aside for the bonus point draw, after that is drawn there are zero tags left for the random draw because the cap has already been met. So any NR applying for a unit with less than 10 tags and less than max points has zero chance and is throwing away money. (possibly less than 20 depending on how the state treats partial tags)
Please confirm if that's right or correct me where I'm wrong.
Thanks!
