Here's a question for the folks who have been involved in the draw hunts a lot longer than me.
For example, the E-Postcard Deer Archery Big Bottom Lake WMA hunt has 5 hunt periods to choose from. The system only allows you to select 3 periods (1st, 2nd, 3rd date choice) or you can put "any". If I select 3 of the 5 periods am I only placed in the drawings for those periods and the other 2 I would have no chance at getting drawn? Would I need to just put "any" for the few hunts that have more than 3 options to be potentially selected for any of them. Also does the order of how you select your 1st, 2nd, 3rd date choices have any effect on your chance to be drawn?
Do they draw a total number of permits for the entire hunt area then figure out which hunt period everyone goes based on preference or is each hunt period somewhat of a separate drawing?
