What is up with the new permit system? I didn't get a permit when I applied, but now I see they have a second lottery with the zone I didn't receive one, so there weren't left over permits.

Hope its not as bad as the MA AP shitshow......Those who "won the lottery" had until late September to purchase their antlerless permit ($14). This that weren't purchased were put back into the mix and offered on a first come, first serve basis.
Also, the antlerless permit allows you to use your regular tag for a buck, and the antlerless tag can be used for an additional deer (antlerless).
The entire system is new this year and it remains to be seen how it works out.
At first I thought "Wow. The deer kill is really going to go up this year". But then I looked and saw there are 5000 permits up for grabs in my district (22). Deer are scarce in my dooryard this yard, but maybe not in the rest of the district.Hope its not as bad as the MA AP shitshow......
What size doe are you looking for. I’m buried in them. Archery only.At first I thought "Wow. The deer kill is really going to go up this year".

It sure is. Son Lance took a nice doe with the cross bow yesterday. Is trying for another doe permit for zone 23. No luck so far. Jack.Of course the website is crashing so I can’t even get on to attempt purchasing a doe permit. Not surprised since they just opened it up at 9am
Looks like they rescheduled the online permits to next Tuesday.It sure is. Son Lance took a nice doe with the cross bow yesterday. Is trying for another doe permit for zone 23. No luck so far. Jack.
They did. Got them for two of my sons today. TOOK FOUR FRIGGIN HOURS. When I logged on there were over 10,000 ahead of me. They take them in order. Lots of zones sold out. We hunt from the deer camp in zone 23. They had 5000 permits available and there are still 4500 left. Wonder why? There are a lot of deer in that zone. My guys always tag out.

By the time it was my turn, all the districts (in my area) were goneI was # 1728 and waited a little over an hour, they didn't list my unit ( 18 ), so I waited and it was already all gone.
