I see a couple of processes in action. The first is true creep for the good units, where the 2-year average almost always results in more PP’s to draw. The second process is the wildly listing numbers for bargain buck units and doe tags. People see 1000 1st choice applications for 80 tags last year and think damn, that’s terrible odds, I’ll put in for unit 69 where 96 people applied for 80 tags (numbers made up). But everyone thinks that and the boat rocks again.
There are lots of factors going into application strategies such as public or private, 3-year averages for bargain tags, working the amended allocations data after the commissioners meeting, etc. But even after all that a lot of the 0-1 PP tags and doe tags are still governed somewhat by people throwing a random dart.
