The tags should NOT go in the 2d draw. They should have a special drawing among the unsuccessful applicants in the affected hunts. If you put them in the 2d draw, it greatly reduces the odds of drawing for those who legally applied.

For example, lets say that they jerked 2 permits for bulls in unit 48 and there were 50 unsuccessful applicants. This would be a drawing among 50 hunters for 2 tags. If they put them in the 2d draw, there would be 50 hunters plus any number of hunters who didn't draw in other units competing for them. The odds drop dramatically.


I can agree with your argument. I'm not sure IDF&G is sophisticated enough to 1)pull out the illegal apps, 2) pull out the successful apps 3) determine the available tags 4)
run another draw based on the remaining applicants and available tags.

As we think about this, parents of illegal app kids are buying the tags now before a decision is made.
