What a Knucklehead!!!

I knew as soon as I read the words that I drew my first choice something was wrong. It seems as though I applied for Unit 35 as first choice when it should have been my third choice. My first choice should have been Unit 44. I called Game and Fish, and they told me that is what I applied for. So, I guess I'll return my tag, as I cannot see myself burning 17 points on unit 35. I do have a question for you all. If you had 17 non-resident deer points and wanted to hunt next year what rifle hunts or others would you be looking at? I am hearing that Unit 44 is nothing like it was back in 2002 when I drew that 3rd season tag with three points!

No units like it was in 2002.

Same thing happened to friend of mine he applied for 61,1st season and 71 second choice. and ? he lost 10 points, and.. received a 71 elk tag. So he made a few phone calls

So this year in the 2019 draw you must have went in with 16 points if you drew in 2002. Am I mistaken on that?.
If I am correct on your points and you return the tag you drew this year you won't gain a point so you will still have 16 points for next year in 2020.
Are you a resident or nonresident?
I have a friend who is a nonresident that drew in 35/4th season this year with 16 points. After he learned of the tag increases he's not sure if he wants to hunt it this year or not.
What season did you draw?

I am a non-resident and I drew 3rd season, unit 35. I am going to turn my tag back I guess.

Good reason to apply a day or 2 before the deadline, and look HARD @ the receipt to see what the computer thinks you applied for, before the deadline...next year.
