I wanted to let all know before I retire, that the Drawing Hunts for TPWD will be entirely ONLINE and no more paper applications or draw booklet - going paperless.
A few things that you'll be able to accomplish for the Drawing Hunts;
- have an account that you will be able to login
- apply entirely online
- pay online for each application
- enter more than just one Hunt Area per Hunt Category (which was a disqualification in the past)
- check your Preference Points, Application Status and Draw Status online
- for those Selected for a Hunt, you'll be able to pay online for your hunt
- print off your permit and hunt leaf flyer for your hunt area
But there will be a set date deadline to pay for your hunt permit, if it is missed, you will not be able to go on that hunt.
There will be a second drawing when a selected hunter or hunt party does not pay or they cancel their hunt, those who were selected in a second drawing will be notified if they want to attend that hunt. Reason why this is being done, we have had so many selected hunters who would not pay for their hunt and some of those Hunt Areas did not allow standby applicants, this will assist the hunt managers to fulfill their harvest needs by having all hunt positions taken. Those accepting the second drawing will have a set deadline date to get their payment in as well.
I know alot of you have been looking forward to this and hopefully it will be a much easier system since you'll have control over your account and can access it at any time of the day.
Wish all good luck with the new upcoming Drawing Hunt System and the hunts you put in for this coming summer. Hopefully it will be online come the end of June the same time as the previous year's draw hunts.
