The first two years of the point system for Moose, Goat & Sheep were different than the way it is now. They made you pay for the tag when applying then get a refund if you didn't draw, the total for the 3 tags was over $300 so not many people applied. I have applyed every year since about the mid 80's. I think those first two years of points got me my goat tag in 2000. I had 2 points more than the vast majority of people and in a squared point system that improved my odds greatly. The difference between 3 squared and 5 squared made the difference. I had almost 3 times the chance as the majority of people. Needless to say I am a fan of the squared point system.
