WY Game and Fish wants your thoughts on the preference point system (Moose and Sheep)

So how do you transition out of a point system back to a random draw? Abruptly?šŸ˜‚
10,000+ NR Wy deer applicants, with 10+ pref points, are waiting for this answer. Not to mention the elk and antelope applicants.
 
Preference point systems are the point systems that are failing. Can anyone come up with a state with a bonus point system that is ā€œfailingā€? How is it failing?
Nevada, Montana.

I'm both states those with lots of points have worse odds than they did 5, 10, 20 years ago.

Yeah but you still have a chance and you keep applying I suspect? Itā€™s failing because you havenā€™t drawn tags there?

Isnā€™t that due to a large increase in demand? Would any system have had better odds? In MT, I have max sheep points. The unit I apply for: My resident odds 1%. 0 points 0.1%

Sharpen your pencil...your odds were better 10 years ago.
 
What was the intent of bonus points?
I donā€™t think anyone wanted or saw the increased demand that was coming upon hunting. Well maybe the people with business models did but I certainly didnā€™t.

Yes, you are 100% correct but under any system that would be the case right? I think you nailed it in a different thread. Got to lower demand. Upfront all costs with a solid app fee.

Maybe cap the amount of species you can go for. I donā€™t know. There is way more to it all than failing point systems

No, other systems would actually increase odds for long term applicants
