An idea here, multi-season permit application fee of $25. If you get drawn and dont buy the tag, application fee forfeited. If you are drawn and buy the tag, the $25 application fee is applied to the cost of the tag. Also, if you are drawn, you have 30 days to purchase.
This would eliminate most of the problem as it weeds out those not serious about the permit. Draw, one and done. No second chances. The whole permit system needs to be streamlined.
