So after reading a few posts on CWT.com after work today, I check my email:
Hi Daniel
I am trying to reach you about a buck pronghorn tag that was surrendered back to our department. You are next inline for this tag. It was your only choice on your application hunt# 2009, unit 5B, 9/6/2019-9/15/2019. Can you please call by 5 PM today 9/5/2019 to let me know if you would want to except this tag. I hope you have a great day!
Thank you,
Donna
I can appreciate that the department is trying to see to it that a hunting opportunity is not squandered but ...... the hunt starts in the morning and I am not dumping 26 lope points on a hunt I am not prepared for. I could prep in a week but not overnight. I think tag surrender should but up to a week or two prior to the opener. Still, happy to have the opportunity to turn down a tag.
