yep.  Life happens and sometimes you don't get out when you plan too.  I'm still bitter about last elk season....
I mean, who plans a wedding on opening weekend?!

Tell me about it! My dad is taking us four boys to Alaska fishing for 4 days with a buddy of his charter business. We leave the day after my wife and I anniversary (dodged that bullet) but my brother got his wife prego and she is due 4 days before we are supposed to leave. Sucks he isn't going now.
God Bless,
Scott

This topic comes up every year and this is the third year here.  :IBCOOL:

Some people have issues that come up and keep them from hunting. In the past I have known or heard about divorce, loss of job, broken vehicle, could only hunt a day or two, sickness, emergency, etc. 

The other side is those who falsely report or don't report. I think most are falsely reporting in the way as if they hunted but were unsuccessful then they just say they didn't hunt so they don't have to answer the next couple questions. I think this is the F&W's fault. You can make a reporting system that forces peole to give answers. Don't give them the easy way out.

I really doubt that anyone applies for a permit thinking that if drawn they won't hunt.

If you look at other permits as to drawing and not hunting, even the goat/sheep/moose permits have people who drew and did not hunt.
Some of the people who drew spring bear wanted a tag just in case they saw a bear while working in the area drawn.
Spring bear also coinsides with mushroom picking and turkey seasons.
Gathering is easy. Hunting is a challenge.
