We're in 349 A

I can't believe how may guys don't get drawn. I can't remember the last time I put in for a zone I wanted to hunt in and didn't get drawn. A few years I'd put in for season A in a zone with like 5-15 permits so I won't get drawn, get a point and buy a surplus or an archery tag. Then after a couple years I'd put in for an early season in my home zone.

225D this year. I also never go for season A, B, or C unless I have at least 1 point.

Another thing MN needs to do is let people who got drawn buy an additional surplus tag on the date that people who didn't apply are eligible to buy them. If the tags sit there and never purchased, what good does that do. In WI I know guys that shoot tons of turkeys every year. Hopefully MN will figure it out soon.

Good luck to everyone this spring.

Leech, We've been draw for 349A thepast 2 years. This year we went for 349C because my son is away at college and this way he can hunt with me the 1st 2 days.Before our 349A drawings were 1999 then 2002 then 2005. We always put in for a group of 4. I feel lucky since we been able to go now again this year. DrJ

Drj,

Ya, my son is in College as well so he has missed a few openers and altogether last time. We still put in for him so it doesn't change our Prf, group numbers. We have thought about going for a later season because the weather is always hit or miss, snow, wind & rain most years!

But it's hard to know if the trade off of not hunting birds that haven't been called to or shot at is better or not? Most years for us it seems like the birds that early are not even really stutting yet? But we have gotten and missed a few so we have to keep trying.

No dice for my group. We've been an "every other year" draw since we started. If we wanted a later season we could hunt, but when hunting public land, being early is key.

[sparkyaber]

no dice here, first year, didn't expect much.

How does the surplus work? I thought it was archery only, last two weeks, over the counter....

[sticknstring]

Surplus tags work like this

[Gordie]

As I stated earlier I forgot to apply this year but I will try and get a OTC permit later and the biggest thing for me this year is getting my two boys on birds they are so pumped this year as I am for them.

Good luck to all of you guys that got drawn this year
