10Turkeys Report post Posted November 27, 2014 Flatlander, What happened was on the first draw if 80% of the tags are already gone on your first choice it will go to your second or third choice. The guys that I put in with wanted to hunt 37B, but ended up with a 36B tag, ended up buying a tag for 37B. As posted somewhere else if you really want to hunt a unit make that one your first and second choice and your actual second choice your third choice. G&F got into our pockets for an extra tag.

In the first pass of the draw 20% of the tags are given to the applicants with the most bonus points who selected each hunt as their first or second choice. In the second pass, the remaining 80% are given to applicants who selected each hunt as their first or second choice, in that order, starting with the applicant with the lowest random number and progressing to the highest. After that pass unsuccessful applications are reviewed for their 3-4 choices in order of random number. Then again for 5th choice. If you were awarded a 3rd choice permit and there were leftovers for your 1st or second I would love to see your application. This has been mentioned by others in the past but each time it has been debunked when they looked at their application. Putting the same hunt as both 1st and second does not do anything that simply skipping the second choice would not accomplish. For 3-5 choice no consideration is given to bonus points. What is important to remember is that if your second choice is easier to draw than your first, it is possible to draw a second choice in the first pass (20% or bonus pass) without having an opportunity to draw your first choice in the 1-2 pass. Careful study of the draw process as outlined by AZGFD on their website will help clear up misconceptions and confusion on this topic. And oh by the way, AZGFD didn't stick it to anyone in this case.
