I emailed a majority of the TF about my thoughts on the upcoming meeting. In my email, I expressed my fear that successful HD applicants on the 3-year waiting period would flood the SD units, causing SD draw odds to go down. I wrote this because of comment #4 for public input. It states "The Commission, through its rules and regulation, shall establish guidelines that impose a mandatory waiting period for any individual, excluding a qualified landowner holding a landowner license, who possessed a Type 1, 2, or 9 antelope, deer, or elk license for a HD Unit. Those individuals shall be ineligible to apply for another Type 1, 2, or 9 for the respective species in any HD area for a period of 3-years after drawing one of these licenses."
I received multiple responses to my email, which I really appreciate. In two of the responses, TF members wrote successful HD hunters will have a 3-year waiting period and they will be ineligible for any SD type 1, 2, or 9 licenses as a first choice. This would prevent HD hunters from ruining SD draw odds.
Basically, if you draw a HD tag you will be hunting general units for 3 years, unless you apply for an undersubscribed unit.
Just thought some of you would want to know for clarification purposes.
Personally, I am still against any waiting period. I think people who want to hunt HD units should be able to apply every year. The most important part is that HD go 90/10.
