Preference Point and Unit Help

[cgmoen]

Can someone let me know how the points work with multiple people? I have 6 points and my two friends have 6 and 5. We have a combined average of 5.66. If the projections for an area is 0% with 5 points and 100% with 6, do we stand a chance? Could we draw with a special tag in units 22, 24, 111, 118??

Any suggestions on a good unit with our point totals? We are looking for a guided archery hunt with the ability to come back with a rifle if needed.

Suggestions would be very appreciated.

Just look at the first thread in the Wyoming forum full of good advice.

5.66 is a whole lot better then 5.5 and a whole lot worse than 5.75.
Now, take a few minutes to write down the combinations needed to get that 5.75 or any point value greater than yours but less then 6.0. How likely are those combinations to occur for that hunt?
You also need to see if they posted odds for <6.

If the OP hasn't checked things out in the draw odds like WB mentioned, I've done it for him. Last year there was 0 chance to draw any of those units he mentioned even in the Special high priced draw with less than 6 PPs (<6 PPs).

If you're going to do the work for him why not just tell him to put in for unit 45?

***LOL! If I tell one more person to put in for unit 45, the odds of them drawing will be about 1 in 100!!!

True that. Seems like everyone is applying there this year.

And that is only the ones we know about.

Nr are scared so they hammer the big horns. Last year it was 38. As the odds to draw go down the nr will shift further south to 40/41 and 37.

I have been contacted by several indicating they have max points and putting in for 45. Guess it will interesting to see what the odds end up being. Love that unit but might be awhile before before I draw it again.
