Draw Process Working Group Recommendations

[RunNGunSC]

I think it’s important to remember the “issues” or “goals” the working group was trying to address. I think these proposals will encourage the use of more points, provide opportunity at the most coveted tags, reduce reliance on a rigged reissue process..etc. There will always be winners and losers with any change.

Feel for the folks with 27, 31 or whatever points who thought they were super close to drawing the very best (famous) deer/elk tags only to see the the pref point tag allotments peel off half the tags where most points would get the tag to instead be in a bonus point (points equals names in the hat) draw. That will be a harsh reality.

For me I have burned through all my top end points and drew the ‘great’ sheep, goat, moose, deer, elk, lope tags already so sitting at the bottom of the barrel with hardly any points for anything. I will have a newfound slight chance to draw a lottery odds tags well before I have ‘earned’ it of some of this comes to pass.

I've always been confused by what the goal/intent of the whole process was. When Haskett pushed for it, we supposedly needed to simplify. Nothings simple, this isn't simpler. Is it a better system with these changes? Will applicants be less or more confused? Will those penalized be massively PO'd?

Right now this is a 13 page document presented to 11 commissioners of which 3 will have a basic understanding of the concept. Eyes will gloss over fast. Good luck to those lobbying/advocating for an outcome, go slow in your 3 minutes, explain benefits. Thanks Terry and John.

Maybe some GMU's get easier to draw in low to mid tier after everyone piles into 201,2, and 10 for first choice apps based on a 50/50 split.

I am excited by the chance for resident preference across all choices. As GMU's move to limited, this is reasonable.

I am also excited to see this get explained to commissioners and hear their comments. Should be worth the price of admission.

To be clear, preference across all four choices was shot down by the ELT, and their recommendation is status quo.
