Originally posted by sqiggy View PostI think it’s CC. When I drew Devils River, they wouldn’t do any stand by. They said they couldn’t accept cash and had no way to run a credit card. Which is sad because on that hunt, only 5 people had paid for the permit. This was before they started the 2nd draw process.

I also hunted Fort Boggy 3 times as a stand by. I don’t remember how I paid the first 2 times but I know on the 3rd time it was with CC. That was when the check in station had a new facility.

Dad has been hunting Gus since it opened (1968?)
Staff at some of the other WMAs might be shady (I highly doubt it) but the ones at the above are fair and honest
The only issue I had was some came from the early draw at RC and made the BLB draw. I don't think there's a rule against it. Kyle told them if they made it by the cutoff they could draw. I'm not really upset about it but RC should have had their draw the same time as BLB. I see both sides. If I didn't draw one place why shouldn't I be able to put in at another. What if they were a day apart? Why would that change things from same day. The other side would be we need to maximize the chances for someone to draw and if there on the same day pick one and see how it goes.Last edited by jnd1959; 10-02-2022, 06:10 PM.

I've seen them look around at the folks who showed up, look at their board and said we all hunt. Or all the kids hunt.
I've seen the folks at Chap(previous management) crunch up all the cards and put them in the bucket & shake the fool out of it. About as random as you can get.
I've seen folks put them in buckets flat and they shake it a little and pick from the top.
It is all relative & is what it is. I am happy that some places still have physical stand by spots.
Next year I will be retired and goto ALL of them .

I was talking to dad about this thread Thursday
He said he remembered at one hunt they used marbles of different colors
Said if there were 5 spots and 25 trying to get them they would put 5 marbles of one color and 20 of another.
Each person reached in and drew a marble. Ones with the right color got to hunt
