How has COVID-19 altered your out-of-state Fall 2020 hunting draw applications

Just curious what everyone’s experience has been. Personally, I wish Arizona and New Mexico had held their draw deadline a month or so later right after the dive in the stock market with unemployment concerns at their peak. 😏 That said, I did opt out of a $900 Montana easy-draw elk tag last minute to wait out the storm a bit and focus on cheaper meat hunts with friends and family

I believe sales are up in every state...selfishly I was hoping sales would be down too but its not the case...it seems like people have more money then ever 

That's what we get for being greedy and banking on others misfortune

Need a "No Change Option" aka I'm par for the course of previous years...

Done👍🏼 I think that speaks for many for sure..

I didn't buy Montana this year due to economy concerns. Deadline was April 1 to apply which was primetime virus lockdown. Kicking myself now but hindsight is 20/20.

Applied for the same stuff as always. The only thing that changes was one of my best hunting buddies decided not to do Montana this year, so that’s a bummer.

I took the points only option for quality bull but I'm in the draw for everything else I usually apply for and I also got the big game combo for Montana again. I'm planning on going deer and elk hunting in Washington whether I draw anything or not but I can see the scenario where things turn to *censored* again by early fall so I'm ready to just roll with whatever my opportunities are when the time comes.
