Outdoor Writer Report post Posted January 7, 2011 Here's the skinny from one of my contacts at G&F on issueing more permits than the number assigned to a particular hunt. In some cases, during the drawing or even afterward with someone trying to buy a leftover, when the info is punched in, it will show that the person is ineliglible to obtain a permit. Reasons can vary, such as already drawing another tag for a limited hunt, etc. When this happens, even though the permit isn't issued, the number for THAT tag gets "used up," i.e. it is no longer available. So the next tag issued will be the next number. This scenario would be more likely when someone tries to obtain a leftover when they had already drawn a permit for another hunt, and the computer would quickly show that. Obviously, it's also more likely to happen with leftovers. Sooo...in the case of #367 and #368, it means there were at least 18 of these instances. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BML Report post Posted January 17, 2011 I can understand it happening in the bonus point pass but how does it happen in the left over draw? For example. My buddy's son missed the regular draw for javelina this spring. No problem though as there are always left overs. I filled out his app for him. First choice was 19A since that's where we live. Second was 21 since I hunt there a lot. Last resort was 18B since I used to hunt there a lot. He drew a tag and it was for 18B. I checked the left over list after he got his tag and there were still over 40 19A tags left after the first left over draw!! I don't get it and no one at the GFD office can explain it either.
