You might have a greater chance of drawing. There's also the new program that opens 20% of tags in certain GMUs that require lots of points, to go to applicants with at least 5 points. I entered one of those for elk.
As far as boycotting hunting, that's a loser's game. IMO, people who do that don't really want to hunt. It's too hard or too much bother.
I haven't missed a big game season in 36 years, and wish I had started earlier. I love and live in the woods. I'll hunt to the very end if I can.
