The only reason I see for doing it is if individuals have low priorities but enough for a chance to draw a tag and want to hunt together.

The reason we apply in groups, is that we like to hunt together as a group for some hunts. We used to travel 8-9 hours to hunt pronghorn, or Suffield elk, so we applied as a group, so if everyone was drawn, it was worthwhile making the trip. We wouldn't bother going that far for one animal, on a one species hunt. On hunts where multiple species were available, we would stagger our draws, and apply individual ly, so someone had a moose tag, and someone an antlered mule deer, and the rest of us would hunt whitetails or elk with over the counter tags.
