If you start this year you’ll save $160 next year but not the year after so it works out to an average annual savings of $80 per year, best case. “Best case” because you’ll only to be able to skip years for 5-6 consecutive years because the draw date will to reset to a later date than a current year application since the first Tuesday will land on Feb. 1 every 5-6 years and be reset to Feb. 6 or 7. Leap years will shorten the time frame too. Thus the $60 per year estimated annual savings. If you apply for deer two or more years in a row the savings are slightly less.
For me it’s not worth the trouble or risk of forgetting to apply on the deadline date to save less than a what half a tank of gas cost.
