Okay, I thought I had this all figured out where I was going to be able to buy a preference point each summer and then have about a 90% chance of drawing a general elk tag each year.
Big kink in the plan, if you get drawn on your tag you can't buy a preference point!!! [&:]
That means my odds of drawing a general elk license drop from 91% to 15%!!
I can pay the outrageous amount for the "special" license ($1,057 vs. $577) and that would bump my odds with no preference point up to 51% but I don't know if I can stomach that big of a license fee. I can afford it, but not sure if I can justify that.
I called up Wyoming's Game and Fish department and they said I could always apply for a cow tag in the area that we hunt in as my second choice and I could still go but I'm not sure I want to do that.
So is there any tricks that I missed on this?
Thanks, Nathan
