Like Quilly said chances are slim, but if you do get picked you have a very good chace of getting one. My dad finally got a permit after 20 years and he shot one. And my uncle never got a permit, he just shot two moose because he was the subpermit holder. Since I'm a resident I am filling applications for other people that will want to come and putting either my, my bro, my dad, or my uncle and if they get picked all they will have to do is come and we could shoot for them. Good luck! But you better not shoot my B&Y moose, he has my name written all over him! Just kiddin'.
