Looks like the qualifying license definitely helped though.

Whats the baseline though?

Out of curiosity, do we know if applicants are paying for their tags as well?

It feels like applications were due years ago. I am sure at lot of people who applied in March and April may be out of work or have lost wages since then. What seemed like a good plan earlier, may be unaffordable now.

It would also be interesting to see what those numbers look like when you take out applications for points, i.e. how many people applied for tags.

In curious how many of the elk apps are due to the new draw units.

Do those include people just buying preference points?

I'm pretty certain it does.
