Oh hell no WCB hunting this year?


I guess that's more time for the autograph table and big deer seminars at the main office..

He can sell “tip sheets” like the guys at the track
Two bucks, but if you listen to his story, only one buck.

Per the email I got, everyone with 3 or 4 points was drawn. Did you apply last year and did you apply solo?

I don't think everyone understands how a drawing works. Its chance 100%. If you buy 75 chances at a rifle and I buy 24 and joe blow buys 1 and they sold 100 tickets then the guy with 1 ticket in the hat still has a chance to have his name drawn before me or you. The preference points increase your odds but its not a slam dunk.

Plus I think that all these people saying they had 3 or 4 preference points are either mistaken or the federal government is manipulating the drawing to help out random people for no reason.

According to the refuge emailed list of preference points EVERYONE with 3 or 4 points got drawn EXCEPT for those that put in with a partner that had less points in which case the points are averaged together and then rounded down and from the way it was explained to me if this was your third year t put in you would only have 2 preference points 3 on the 4th year and 4 on the 5th year

It’s not 100 percent chance. 75% go into a true preference point system. The people with the most preference points get the tags UNLESS there are more people with that many preference points than tags. Then that group goes into a drawing for what’s left of the tags. Then the last 25% go into a random drawing that everybody has the same chance. Now if they go into the TPWD system it will be like you said a straight up draw.

This is exactly right, with the big increase in online applicants I think TPW should go to this system IMO.

If I looked at the list correctly Mike it shows you only having 2 preference points.
