These three draws are the nonresident landowner draw, the nonresident special draw and the nonresident regular draw. The nonresident quota for each of these draws is split 75 percent for the preference-point draw and 25 percent for the random draw. All nonresident applications participate in their respective preference-point draw even if the applicant or party does not have any preference points. Any unsuccessful nonresident application participates in the respective nonresident random draw. If a nonresident draws their first choice license, even if it is in the nonresident random draw, their preference points are marked as unavailable for future draws. The nonresident landowner draw is the first of these draws conducted. After the landowner draws, the remaining nonresident quota is split 40 percent to the special draw and 60 percent to the regular draw. The 40 percent quota allocated to the special draw is split 75 percent for the preference point and 25 percent for the random draw.
