I just called, and the first half I put in for have not been drawn, but the second half said disqualified. What does that mean? I dont want to be disqualified. I didnt do anything wrong. Hehe. Anyone have an interpretation of that?

From TPWD website:

• ONLY ONE APPLICATION PER PERSON will be allowed in each HUNT CATEGORY (example GDE: Gun Deer Either Sex). A person may
apply in each of the HUNT CATEGORIES (examples GDE, GDA, EXO, etc.). If MORE THAN ONE application is received for the SAME
HUNT CATEGORY (GDE) with the same individual’s name or Social Security Number appearing anywhere on the application cards, ALL
applicants on the application cards will be DISQUALIFIED and the application fees WILL NOT be refunded. It does not matter where
your name appears on an application card, THAT IS YOUR APPLICATION for that hunt category. Even if another person puts your name
on their application card or you apply for different areas (Kerr, Chaparral, Garner, etc.) in the SAME HUNT CATEGORY (example GDE),
EVERYONE on those cards WILL BE DISQUALIFIED, and none of the application fees will be refunded.

Thanks, I must have doubled up somewhere.

Did some of your buddies regis you on a hunt?
Sorry

Thats what Im thinking.
At least I still have some that were not disqualified.

Did you apply for more than one place?? For example, did you apply for a archery deer hunt at "XXX" and another one at "YYY"?

When do they draw the hunts? The first part was due Aug 11th.

I have a question about it, on the special permit it says "other group members". What does this mean? If I get the draw, they can come and hunt with me?

I'm going to apply for some mule deer hunts in big rough county, I don't want to have to go out there by myself.

They draw soon after the deadlines. Some can take up to a week or longer. Here is the run down on the Deadlines:
Alligator- Already been drawn
Archery deer - Should be drawn this week
Crossbow deer - Should be drawn this week
Archery Exotic - Should be drawn this week
Gun Pronhorn - Should be drawn this week
Private Lands;Either Sex - Should be drawn this week
Private Lands;Anterless/Spike - Should be drawn this week
Gun Deer Either Sex, Gun Deer;Anterless/Spike, Gun Deer;Management, Gun Mule Deer, and all the Youth Deer hunts, the deadline is Sept 1st.

On most hunts, you can include up to 3 other people. If you get drawn, all the people on your card get to hunt as well. But, if you get drawn and didn't put any group members on with you, you cannot bring anybody with you on the hunt.

Alligators were drawn on 8/4. Hogs, Javelinas, Exotics, and Turkey hunts will be drawn in October.

My buddy was in on the alligator. Would they have contacted him had he been drawn?

Good question. I see your from Weatherford. Come get some grub!!

To check on results best bet is to call TPWD.

I've got a question guys. If you draw a hunt that's by compartment and not by blind or stand and say you have 2 buddies on the application with you do each of you get your own compartment or do all of you have to hunt in the single compartment? Baker

You all hunt in the same compartment. Bigger the group, the bigger the compartment you get. At least the ones I've been on. Me and 2 buddys drew an archery hunt few yrs back. We had about a 700 to 800 acre compartment.
On some hunts, they may even put others on there with you. Had that happen twice on my son's youth hunt, but the compartment was large enough to accomendate them and the other youth and their dad never was a issue or got in our way.

Hi, we have eaten there many times. lol
I'm out of town right now, but will stop in when I am home.
It's cool that a THF'er owns it.

Thanks for information Sqiggy. My son drew a youth hunt at Mason Mountain and we had a compartment to ourselves. If I ever draw a hunt myself I hope to have a decent size piece of land to hunt for a few days. I've got so many notice of non selection notices I could wallpaper an outhouse with them. Good Luck to everyone in the draws. Later Baker

just called to check results on first go around of drawings. they said the were in the process of drawing. should get results soon. every one cross their fingers.

where did you enter?

matador,pecos county,south llano,mason mountain...cant remember all for sure,would have to look at book.

Anybody put in for the PLE Hunt at Pecos County Ranch?
I was going to but it got too late to send in the entry form by the time I noticed the "rancher's choice on an elk". Oh well snooze ya looze!
Ron

Alligator was NOT drawn on August 4th, that date was the application deadline not the drawing date.

The tpwd guy said they are drawn with in the week of the deadline for the aps. That might not be the exact date but yes aligators have already been drawn

I did, we'll see how it comes out soon.
