Draw Question

[BobJohansen]

In a situation where a preference point tag has, for example, 2 licenses left but the next in line according to preference points is a group with 3 people in it, how is that handled?

Bob, occasionally they will issue an extra tag or two to fill situations like that.

 

[WapitiBob]

They always fill, up to the "party limit" for the species.

I believe it becomes a random draw between the three, and each person has a 66.67% chance of drawing.

They will fill the entire party, even if it means going over by a tag or two. For example take a look at area 67 non-resident antelope regular pp draw for last year. The quota was 25 permits- 26 were issued. I have called to ask this specific question because I had seen examples of this in the draw results. They said they will fill the entire party. The rules may be different for areas with only one or two permits but for normal areas, this is how they handle it.

Oops, sorry, I misunderstood what you were asking. Yes, Wyoming will issue licenses to all three in the party. Oregon, on the other hand, would skip the party and issue tags to the next two eligible applicants.

I called and asked the same question on a similar unit for antelope and was told the same thing. They issue tags to everyone in the party.

Up to 6, the party limit.

That makes the most sense. Thanks for the answers.
