Re: 2017-2018 Limited Entry Hunting Regulations Synopsis is Out
All first choice applications are authorized first if there are tags still available. Second choices are not looked at until all first choices are complete. The odds of getting a second choice draw that has higher odds than 1:1 is pretty much zero. Essentially, second choice only applies for under utilized hunts, ie: .9:1 odds or less.
