I was #99 just before the office closed on Friday the 28th.

Anyone going to the drawing on the 15th that can post a picture?

I have a buddy that might be there for it. I asked him to snap a pic and send it to me if he makes it. If he does Ill post it here, If he doesn't, I'm planning to swing by after my meeting to check it out.

Only 37 exempt, down from 52.
Looks like about 40 less applicants overall than last year as well.

Did they make it 1 mature doe for exemption after all?

It was always 1 mature doe for exemption... IMHO it was a misunderstanding.

Here is the txt from the orientation slide.


"Any hunter that harvests a mature doe may be exempted from the random drawing in the following year
► Mature doe = 2.5 year or greater
► Spikes are not included
• The exemption is an incentive to get out and hunt and help us manage the population composition to near 1:1 buck to
doe."


The only variable, that is decided closer to the season, is what needs to be shot before you can harvest a buck that season. This is based on a head count and sex survey that is typically taken closer to the start of the season.

Last year the survey caused the following decision.


"Due to the limited number of buck permits this year, we will need to put further restrictions on bucks to ensure we do not go over our allotted amount.

For this 2018-2019 season:

TWO does are required to be harvested prior to harvesting bucks."


The year before that, they let us shoot spikes from day 1. The year before that, spikes after the start of regular season. (from my aging memory only)

I think folks got the 2 items confused.
