Drawing a 2nd choice is interesting. That would take a unique circumstance for that to happen. Basically every first choice applicant, even those with 0 points, would have to draw first correct?

It depends on which species. For bighorns (I'm guessing that's what you were referring to), mountain goats, desert bighorns, and moose, I don't bother to indicate a second choice because none are ever drawn. There are always more first choice applicants than there are tags offered. However, for other species there are lots of second choice tags issued. In fact in many hunt codes there are more tags offered than there are applicants and they start selling leftover tags in early August. Some tags are offered and not purchased.
