I put in for every single open registration, youth included. I think I had almost 50 hunt registrations when it was all said and done and got drawn as hunter for one and alternate for another and chose the guaranteed hunt.
That defiantly increases your odds of getting drawn.
I've done that every year so far and also had all of my buddies, my cousin, and my dad and uncle do it as well. So if you take me, three buddies, one cousin, dad, and uncle thats 7 applicants x and average of 40ish hunts = 280 entries a year. I've been on a hunt every year since it started.
