Help me understand the group application protocol….

[Knight.54]

I’ve never quite grasped how this works… maybe somebody can help me..

When a group application(2 man group) is submitted in the WY big game draw do both party members get a random # in the drawing or does the group get one?….

It really doesn’t matter. I’ve already applied for elk this year but I’m still curious.

In other words…. By being in a group does an individual actually have more “names in the hat” ? If one member of the group draws they all do….. but does a group of 2 individuals have two “entries in the drawing” thereby increasing their individual odds?

I think I understand that the state will round up the number of tags if a group is selected and there aren’t enough tags for the whole group, so if I have a random # in the drawing and my partner does(in a two man group) does that improve our odds?….


math and statistics and probability aren’t my strongsuit….

Help me understand this please

The group gets its own number. One entry in the hat for the whole group, not one entry per member of the group.

First guy who applies gets a party number- he shares this with his application partner, who adds it to his app- this links them together in the draw.

Their points are averaged and enter the draw as one. Either they both draw or neither draws.
