Big Game Combos had 0 left over last year and roughly 600 applicants that were unsuccessful
Deer License were sold out and about 1500 applicants that were unsuccessful
Elk Combos had approximately 2000 tags left over after the draw process
Bow hunter education isn't a requirement, per say, if you provide a bow hunting license from your home state. Not sure if that has anything to do with your question.
Do they just post these as general news then without a preference point calculation?
My big question is, if you purchase a $50 preference point does this count towards the current year general combo draw or does it mean you're purchasing one for next year if you don't draw? I'm guessing the former on that as I read it in the regs and it wouldn't make sense to spend $50 if it meant nothing if you drew.
From there what are the odds for the amount of folks who didn't spend $50 (70%?) vs the ones that did spend $50 (100%?)

So is it necessary to buy a preference point if I want to draw the General Deer? I know they only have 4600 of those available. I currently have zero preference points.

Oh yeah, definitely.
Gotcha. Thanks for all the help on this, MT’s system is pretty damn confusing compared to Colorado!

What about your #23 post...is that right that I’d still have a 90% chance at NR Deer Combo based on last year’s draw? Or you found out that’s incorrect?
