so what happens like many of us that never put a 3rd chose in for lope due too all tags gone in 1st & 2nd rounds, will they allow us to add a new 2nd chose before the draw?
By them removing a 1st or 2nd chose "19b no longer" G & F should be entitled to allow all applicants to add a new alternitive hunt number.
Thats why i always fill in all 5 choices, you never know what may happen. G&F should not entitle that to anyone. Its was that persons choice to only put in 2 choices instead of 5.
Actually, it would not matter in this case. The commission voted to set the number of tags available for these 2 hunts to zero. So the draw will proceed as usual and your hunt choices will stay the same. If you have one of these hunts as your 1st choice the draw system will see there are no tags available and it will move to your 2nd choice; it will not move your 2nd choice to your 1st choice and your 3rd choice to your 2nd choice. Same logic applies if you have one of these hunts as your 2nd choice, the end result in this case would be that if there are no tags available for your 1st choice then you will not get drawn since your 2nd choice was set to zero before the draw even started; it will not move your 3rd choice to your 2nd choice. Then aside from the Hopi hunts, it is mathematically impossible to be drawn for a 3rd, 4th, or 5th choice for antelope.
