Just finished listening to the latest podcast. It was another great episode, I loved hearing Lorenzo's hunt stories. Hearing how goHUNT came to be and why was all very interesting. I'm not convinced it's for me yet, but that's mostly because I'm really cheap.
Anyway, this got me thinking. I live here in Reno, drive by UNR everyday on my way to work, and have only hunted in Nevada. I enjoy studying the hunt book, trying to figure out the best units to put in for, calculating all the variables. It keeps involved in my hunt during the off season. This makes me an out-lyer, I get that. For those hunting multiple states, what I consider a past-time, is a mind boggling brain cramp for others,
So, I see the need and value of goHUNT. My question is: Will it actually change the draw odds as we move forward? With a tool like this, I can see hunters with a bunch of points finding units they're willing to spend them on now. Conversely, hunters who found it too much trouble to do the work can now jump in. I don't know that either is good or bad, I'm not passing judgement. I just wonder if it will actually change the system it is trying to demystify?
