Noticed a new change in E-POSTCARD HUNT. 2018-2019 Annual Public Hunting Permit required to apply. Wonder how much this will improve chances be reducing the number of applicants that usually don't pay for the public lands permits? In essence it is not a FREE drawing now. Or is there something I am missing?

So I know one of the biologists that’s in a pretty high position. He was telling me that the reason they did this was because there is a lot of no shows at these hunts because you can apply for free and people apply for everything without knowing what they applied for or where it is. The other reason was a lot of people would apply for the hunts and wait for an outcome(get drawn or not) before buying a permit. That’s a lot of lost revenue that can be used for management of these properties or be used to buy new public land property.
With all that said this change will greatly improved your changes to be drawn but it’s still a lottery and nothing is a given in a lottery.
GOOD LUCK GUYS!!!!!

Yes. They would put in for the hunts and only buy the permit if they won the hunt. You got more people applying because it didn’t cost anything.

I was the one that started this post about wondering if APH permits would effect the E-Post chances...... Chosen for TWO Hunts. And Zero before!
And more E-Post drawing to go.

Yep, I will admit that this change will keep me out of the E-Posts this year. I actually got drawn for the E-Post hunt on the Chap last year and killed a Javi, Hog, and a doe. I figure I used my luck up on that one anyways. There's just not enough hunts for me to spend almost $50 just to apply. I always did think it was silly that these were totally free to aplly for. This makes more sense.
