Title: Special Permits, Group App question
Post by: npaull on April 26, 2010, 08:47:08 PM: If I apply for special permits as the leader of a group, but it turns out no members join, do I still go through the drawing as per usual? ie could I still draw a tag for myself as group-less leader?

Reason I ask is because my brother isn't sure yet if he'll be able to hunt this season, but I'd like to go ahead and just submit my applications to get if off my to-do list, and then he could join or not depending on if he figured it out.

Thanks for the help.

Can you apply as a group in certain deer categories and apply as an individual in others? I assume that each category, "quality" "buck" "anterless" etc. are all treated as their own separate drawing so I'd only assume this was possible, but couldn't find it in black and white in the regs?
