Has anyone ran across trying to turn only one tag back in with a group application based on the new rules?
It looks like the spirit of the new rule is to keep grandma from applying and helping you get a tag each year (I am all for this). The problem I see is that if you did not gain any advantage by being in a group (you have the same or less points than anyone else in the group) then I feel that you are being unfairly singled out for being in a group. You should have just applied individually for the tag as you could then turn in your tag if needed. I am in this boat and can't turn back in my tag according to the Division.
I would be fine with a rule not allowing you to turn tags back in like in Wyoming, but in this case I deem the treatment unfair btwn a group and individual. Our odds could actually be lower when applying as a group app.
Anyways, I wanted to make people aware of this as I think the rule should be changed in the future. As I am a non-resident I will not be able to make any of the RAC meetings, hopefully someone can bring it up for me!
Thanks.

Here is the rule:
"If you obtain a permit through a group application?and then you decide to surrender it?you will not have your bonus points reinstated or earn a new point unless your entire group meets
the following conditions:
?All group members must surrender their
permits
?Permit surrenders must occur more than 30
days before the start of the season
