Question about draw odds when putting in with an out of stater

[bonecollector777]

A couple days ago I was talking to a friend who has 13 bonus points for elk and has been putting in for some units that he would practically be guaranteed a tag when putting in for some archery hunts. As we got talking he said he has been putting in with a friend from out of state who has 13 points also. So the question is when you put in on the same app as a friend from out of state are you basically looked at as out of state and have the lower odds due to the 10% cap? Is it going to take him 20+ years to get drawn with his friend when it would only take him around 10 years if he were putting in himself?

that is correct, if your friend is putting in with a non-resident he is now in the 10% cap. The only way he wouldn't be in the 10% cap is if the non-resident had a lifetime license then he would be good to go.

The response above is completely correct.
