Guys, welcome to the J. Scott Outdoors Podcast. I'm actually in Carbondale, Colorado for the summer and kind of in a rain delay right now.

Woke up this morning, was planning to do some fishing, and it's

raining here, so I'm gonna give it an hour or so to let it kind of calm down and

it's actually a great day to go out and throw streamers and try and

catch some nice brown trout on streamers so I'm looking forward to that but I

had a couple questions that had come in on the Big Horn Sheep podcast that Brian Rimsa and I had

done and one of the things I wanted to do is I wanted to break down per unit the first choice applicants because I think

it's important when you're going to apply you know do you have a one in 50 you know do you have a 1 in 50, do you have a 1 in 80, do you have a 1 in 200, do you have a 1 in 500,

like, you know, what are the odds or what are the chances that you draw a tag.

Obviously we talked about you're either in the max pool or you're not and about 20 tags go to those with the max bonus points so if you're

sitting in that maximum point pool you really are in the driver's seat and you know it's it's you know there's a bunch of people

out there that are getting to a certain age where they're saying you know I just want to hunt and they go ahead and

put in for some of these kind of lesser quality lesser trophy known units and they

automatically draw.

And so, you know, 20 people,

sometimes it's 21 to 20 people from year to year come out of that max point pool and I want to say that was I don't have the

numbers right in front of me it was 84 or 88 people with max bonus points

so if you do the math, you know, for,

you know, a little bit over four years,

all of those people in that Max Point Pool,

which it is 28, I want to to clarify got a couple people applying that I know that have 28

point so if you listen to the prior podcast, 28 points is the max point number.
