WapitiMike, I'm going to have to disagree with you on this one. This is not a guaranteed draw, once you hit a certain number of points, like some of the drawings out west. You say you've had the max of 12pts for ten years, but remember if you miss putting in one year, you lose all of your points.
Your chance of winning is still the same as any true lottery, namely the number of tags available divided by the number of entries. Non-residents can purchase more chances that a resident, but there is a specific number of tags set aside for NR hunters, so that final number issued will not change. I know guys who have put in 20 years without drawing a tag and others who drew the first time they applied. Heck, look at Biggie. He drew twice in 5 years and as a NR hunter, which means his odds were even longer that a resident.
I know the folks who run the drawing (it's a random computer drawing) and can tell you the drawing is not corrupt. It's not stacked in the favor of those who put in every year without success, but it's not corrupt.
I just felt the need to set the story straight. Have a good hunt in BC.
