word of caution. if you apply to 99z (playing the game as we all do) and are still going this year - understand this - you will not be eligible for a tag if surplus is declared! you are ineligible to receive a surplus tag.[/QUOTE]
That is true, happened to one our guys 3 or 4 years ago. So here's the scenario that I'm curious about, this year
me- pool 1, 3 years without drawing
Darrel- pool 1, 3 years without drawing
Doug- pool 1, 3 years without drawing
Darrel and myself apply to whatever wmu we choose, and Doug applies to wmu 99z this year. Darrel draws the tag this year. So next year
me- pool 1, 4 years without drawing
Darrel- pool 2
Doug- pool 1, ???
Does Anybody know if applying in wmu 99z count as a year without drawing, since your not technically applying for a tag, but only to keep your pool status for the following year?? or does it count as a year, that you've applied and failed to be succesful? Hence Doug would be 4 years without drawing, the same as me.
99z is ok for those who can't hunt this year. But I hope nobody is just using it in hopes of keeping status until a preferred wmu has lower group size numbers.. Can anyone remember the last time there was a real drop in guaranteed group size? With the direction things are heading it doesn't seem very realistic...
SWAMP...
The important number is the yr you had a tag issued through the draw process. bull or cow gun or bow
Swamp- last tag 2011
Darrel- 2011
Doug- 2011
so if this yr Swamp and Darrel apply as a group of 2. since both are p1 2011 50/50 chance of who gets it
---the guy that comes in 2nd will be the transfer recipient if needed.
Doug will be 99z and will stay in p1 with his original 2011 status.
