Title: Quality and Buck?
Post by: bowman on June 15, 2017, 09:56:56 AM: Is it possible to decline a tag if you draw both a quality deer tag and a buck tag and keep your points for one of them?

For example, I was fortunate enough to draw the modern Quilomene deer tag and the modern Alta buck tag for a whitetail.

They aren't messing with people. People need to understand the implications of drawing two permits for the same species, in the same year.
Period.

It's all an opportunity, that some people don't know how to mitigate. :tup:

Sorry I forgot the :chuckle:......

I was joking. But I do know a fare share that have drawn multiple tags and its unfortunate cause those tags go un used.
