Residents and nonresidents are drawn against their own quotas (nonresidents are capped, usually at 10% of a permit or license), so each hunt appears once per pool with that pool's first-choice applicants and point curve. Landowner-preference applicants are a separate pool and are not included. The two nonresident combination licenses appear under Nonresident only.
