After years years of....pfft...okokokok

My son got drawn for youth hunt Sommerville (bucks and bkinds)
We also got drawn for doe hunt at Bastrop (compartment hunt)


We want the youth hunt. Do we just NOT CLAIM the Bastrop permit and let it go to 2nd draw. Do i loose my 5 preferrence points.

THANK AHEAD!!

Thanks for asking...sorry.


SAME WEEKEND

[Timemachine]

Bastrop had 15 permits for this hunt date. We drew 4. We don't pay, they go back into the "2nd Draw" bucket. Some lucky soul get e-mail the him and his kids got a 2nd drawn winning.

I'm hoping we pay it forward putting 4 tickets back in. Next year..better odds. PLUS, the Sommerville Youth Hunt is absolutely PREMIUM. With Blinds, and facilities to make sure the kids have a great time.

You drew one permit. A permit is a card, meaning you drew 1 card of 15, assuming it's still done like it used to be which I don't think changed.

You've really got to pic which you'd rather do then based on what you think the probability of success and what not is. Where you'd rather hunt, what might come out. Good luck!

I think your wrong on that if there is one spot left and you have 2 people on your card it is my understanding that you dont have a chance of being drawn...meaning there are 15 people that can hunt not that they will draw 15 cards with 4 people on each card.but ive been wrong before


I was also told once your drawn you lose your points wether you go or not but it may be worth a call to tpwd. To get the right answers.

Double draw

Yes, hunting at Sommerville is PREMIUM! I've been on two archery and one gun hunt there. One year, there were three on our card. Of the eleven deer taken with bows that year, the three of us took 9. Lol. Only time I've taken two in one morning! Great fun! Best of luck!

Last hunt I was on was 3-4 years ago. 20 permits, 2 weeks. 10 sections in our hunt, about 25 guys hunting. In the past, it was 10 cards were drawn for the hunt. You could have 40 hunters, or 10 hunters, or anywhere in between, and it was up to your group to share your section. Now on by assigned blind hunts, I don't know how they worked.
Same for the Big Bend hunt I went on the same year. I think it was 6 permits, and there were about 8-10 youth there.
Completely possible that's changed, but I can't see why it would, except at BAB hunts.

Also, I was under the opposite impression there, but I don't have nearly as much experience there

Good luck no matter what you choose!

If your not going to go don't claim it let someone else get the chance to go on the 2nd draw. if you claim it those spots are locked up and no one gets them.

Yes you loose the points price to pay on this new system being able to enter as many as you want alot of dates over lap and people are being drawn on the same dates and you loose your points.
