Help understanding WY draws odds (<)

[Hunt&FishCO]

I need some help understanding two parts or reading WY draw odds. How can applicants have (<) or partial perference points?

For doe / fawn draw odds - how do you read this? Did 35 of the 359 first choice applicants get a tag?

Sorry for the dumb questions - I’ll reach out to WYFG tomorrow. Nothing obvious came up in HT, Google, or WYFG website.

Points for group apps are averaged. That's where you get that.

Thanks for the quick response - makes much more sense now.

Partial points comes from averaging points in a party, 1 person with 1 point and 1 person with 0 points = <1. Yes, 35 of the first choice applicants got a tag. Everybody else got nothing!

And, just an FYI; when preference points are averaged the average is carried to four decimal points.

So, a group with a 2.3016 average would draw before a group with a 2.3015 average.

WY averages and rounds to 4 places as pointed out by CC.

You see the less than, = to, and greater than symbols, because they format the report for size. A full report with every point group, 1.000, 1.1667, 1.200, 1.2500, 1.3333, etc would be too big to be practical.

is that for ANTELOPE GMU-44? (-06) those odds have been dropping every year. they've been cutting Tags there every year since 2016.
you can also call WY G&F and ask about specific unit and if they're going to increase/drop quota again? otherwise those odds may drop even more.

OP i just PM'd you quick snapshot of my excel file/odds for that unit

It’s really fun when you have a group of 5 that have been building points and one guy forgets even after about 15 reminders and pulls the group average down 3/4 of a point
