Would they though? If you make it easier to apply, then that 60-80K could become 100K. When more people apply, your odds decrease.
I can tell you for a fact that if you went to a draw, the Diamond Creek unit would see an additional three applicants every year. I am one person, in one town, in state and I know of three people that would apply for that unit. Expand that out and tell me how odds would increase by going to a draw?
The problem with going to a draw is that the system you currently have is basically a draw. So people are saying we should fix the current draw system by going to a draw system. Its like taking 20 bucks from you left hand and putting in your right and saying you are richer.
Yes, the system now is a de-facto draw except that a large number of tags are not being sold through the draw. It should be all one draw online. Undoubtedly, it probably would result in some units having decreased odds but it would increase odds in other units. It would be a random draw with odds directly proportional to demand and tag availability. How does that not seem like a better system?
