That is awesome and definitely shows higher odds for more points! This is showing about a 5 to 1 odds ratio from 20 points to 1 point. In a true bonus point system, wouldn't you expect for the line to be steeper, closer to 20 to 1 on a ratio (like 10% for 20 points and 0.5% for 1 point)? Maybe...

Doesn't seem clear cut if a paid guide would get a ticket but a resident guide wouldn't. Why is that different?

For all non-resident sheep tags it is a bonus system because there is never more than one, each point gives you one more chance in the draw. For residents, it is 50/50 preference and bonus. Odds are definitely better the more points you have, that is not debatable. I don't even know what we...

When no one has the 3 PP they go to the next in line.

Female tags. Big money for a ewe.

You can do that math, I don't think it is going to help a ton based on the current distribution of who drew tags and how many people are applying with few points. I agree it would be simpler and more fair but it is probably not going to help much for those sitting on loads of points. I think...

Look at the resident side and it is a very different situation. The bonus tags are actually preference tags and the the regular tags are actually bonus tags and it is working okay. Just not enough tags for non- res.

Better read the fine print! If more than 1 tag, they go preference.

That is definitely not true. Plenty of hunts use preference points but you need to have at least two available tags. If you are talking about Desert Bighorn then that is correct.

Utah is 50% preference and 50% bonus. The poster said they go bonus if there is only 1 tag and as you both mentioned it could go to anyone and unlikely will go to the max points applicant.

Not for sheep, moose and goat. A bonus point it is and it is under debate.

Debatable I guess. Depends how many points you have. Everyone in Colorado with lots of points want to change it from bonus to preference....

He might not have. $1000 in points could of happened in 5 years or less.

Okay, we all know that. The question is if they change to bonus points from preference points, do I get "exactly what I paid for" or not?

What? I agreed with you. I am sure the price increase on special last year already covered it.
