LAST EDITED ON May-21-14 AT 03:59PM (MST)[p]I have had several people contact me concerning the Big Game draw. Some received an e-mail showing that they have drawn their 2nd choice for General Deer, then they are finding out that a family member, friend etc had put the unit as their 1st choice (some even had preference points) and did not draw the tag. My question is, should the DWR/Fallon NV be filling the permit quotas in a unit with those that put that unit as their first choice and THEN fill the unit quota (if there are any left) with those who would have put the unit as their second choice. I am going to get it on the agenda at a RAC meeting (probably Nov)and try to get this straightened out. I believe that the draw was supposed to be set up so that the tags in a unit would be given to those that chose it as their first choice and then go to those who chose it as their 2nd choice if their were any tags left.
My opinion is that the folks in Fallon are doing it incorrectly. It makes me question why we are paying them $1.5+ million to conduct the draw.
