Some miss information here. If you don't get drawn for the general tag (used to be call "A" tag) use can still put in for a B tag anterless Mulie $80.00 which yes is still a draw. Then after August you can get a OTC B anterless Whitetail tag $65.00.
For 2017 I did not get drawn for my general so I put in for my Mulie B tag which I received. Two days later I received a letter (don't no how long it was in my P.O. Box) It stated that there were 68 left over (returned) general tags and if I wanted one to resend my money that they already refunded to me. I sent it off and received my general tag. Then in August bought my B anterless whitetail tag. So I ended up with three tags to fill. Total cost was about $720.00 when I received my general tag they refunded the license portion of my Mulie B tag.
