Why Point Systems CAN’T Fix Your Draw Odds | Week of June 1

from Fresh Tracks Weekly · host Marcus Hockett and the Fresh Tracks Crew

Every May and June, internet forums explode with angry hunters complaining about point systems, demanding non-resident tag cuts, and blaming state agencies. But in this episode, Randy and Marcus break down the brutal mathematical reality of why Western big game tags are drying up—and it has almost nothing to do with the draw system itself. Using Montana’s moose, sheep, and goat numbers as a case study, we dive deep into the differences between a "scarcity mindset" (fighting over a shrinking pie) and an "abundance mindset" (working to grow the pie). If you're tired of waiting decades to draw a tag, it’s time to look in the mirror and face the real culprit: habitat degradation.
