Not devils advocate or anything, but I have seen many comments over the years and in this thread too about how little the points matter as you wait to draw. I have to believe they matter immensely and heres why....If 2 hunters, one with 5 points and one with 25 points, are assigned the same random number in different draw test populations.....prior to the draw taking place.....and then that random number goes through the division mathematics of CDOW, the higher pointed hunter will draw by a landslide statistically over a lower point hunter.
In other words X/5 is statistically much higher of a number than X/25, therefore the random number "X" can be much larger on a scale and still be the draw tag because the points denominator makes it as such. Its all low probability anyway when talking these types of tags, but points matter significantly when you get to the nitty gritty....theres two keys to CO tag drawing for sheep, goat, and moose. The random number and the points a hunter has. Random number 10 with 5 points will draw over random number 2000 with 25 points...In my humble opinion of course.
