Okay, boy do I wish I had started applying 7 years ago. With that said, I didn't and currently have 2 preference points. When I first started applying, putting in for the nanny tag was a no brainer because it was the only option. Now, I'm struggling to decide whether to put in for it this year or not.
It is still the only tag that doesn't take 3 preference points to even get in the pot for, so it would be my only chance of actually drawing a tag, but it would also use up the preference points I had if I drew it.
Looking at the folks ahead of me, it looks pretty daunting. 1,046 ahead of me with 3 preference points and 15 non resident billy tags per year doesn't math out very well with 69+ years more to apply if everyone ahead of me ends up drawing a tag before me. If some of those guys forget to apply a few years or just give up I might pass a few of them but probably not more than half. 721 of those with 3 preference points have zero weighted points, I wonder how many of those I could pass? I guess to draw a tag in my lifetime it will take some luck.
I guess I'll probably just apply for the nanny tag again this year.
Any thoughts?
Thanks, Nathan
