Improve Your Odds!
The following tips can increase your odds of being drawn for a
hunt.
1. Select hunts that take place during the regular statewide
muzzleloader and gun seasons (hunts on the opening weekends of
these seasons usually offer better odds of being drawn).
2. Buck-only and either-sex hunts are more difficult to be drawn
for than antlerless-only hunts.
3. Make as many selections as each category allows. This
increases your overall odds of being selected for at least one
of your choices.
4. For locations that offer multiple hunts in the same category,
the second or third hunts (the hunts held later in the year)
often offer better odds of being drawn than the first hunts
offered at that location.
