Hunters discussing Area 88 in Beaver, Wyoming, highlight the challenges posed by point creep, particularly due to a significant reduction in antelope tags issued this year. A common mistake is using the previous year’s draw odds without accounting for point creep; hunters suggest adding an extra point to previous odds for a more accurate prediction. The decrease in tags has intensified competition across units, affecting draw outcomes even for those applying with higher points. It's crucial to stay updated with current year odds and consider changes in quota to avoid surprises.
