Hi, All!
There is a very long thread about moose points, but I’m more interested if we could expect any info about quotas and the anticipated amount of hunters for a specific WMU.
As I understand, for the first year such data is not available in detail, but still some prediction could be done.
For example, if we know how many hunters (including all parties and individuals) applied for a specific WMU in the last year for bull and cow tags we could estimate that approximately this amount (probably just slightly more) hunters were hunting in this WMU in total (assuming that almost every hunter who bought a license applied for the bull or cow tag as well).
Now, if we know the quotas for specific tags (bull, cow and calf) in this WMU and also distribution of amounts of points in general, then everyone could estimate where he is and where more chances to apply and if there are any chances to get a bull tag in a specific WMU.
Also, if I understand it correctly, there is just one pool of points for all three tags. So, for example, if I get a bull tag this year, my points for calf will be reset to zero next year. And vise versa. Correct?
