Reading these numbers

Nonresident elk, deer and antelope, and everyone's moose and bighorn sheep: 75% of each hunt's licenses go to the preference-point draw, highest points first (party points are averaged), and the other 25% are drawn at random among everyone who missed, points ignored. Residents draw elk, deer and antelope at random with no points; mountain goat, bison and the doe/fawn, cow/calf and ewe/lamb licenses are random for everyone. Nonresident 'special' licenses cost more and are drawn as a separate pool (hunt codes ending -S).
