D16 Goes Premium

[wheels]

I new this was going to happen. A22, G13, M6 and D16 are all Premium tags. So if you hunt in San Diego you will only get one tag unless you get a AO tag. That's It Folks

San Diego isn't what Premium tags was meant for. San Diego is a Deer opportunity zone. It was never to be looked at as a Premium Hunt area. This is what happens when you make it easy for people to buy tags. They buy out quickly and then this happens. Real Bummer.

Yea it's a bummer, I'll be grabbing an AO for sure.... Looks like I'll have a long waterfowl season.

To me it sucks for the guys that have points there saving,now that all of d16 is a draw people are gonna have to make choices they shouldn't have too.

No doubt. I'm not burning my points for a local tag. I could draw an X9A but I'll put in for G3 or G39 and probably end up with another point. Then hope for a left over locally.

Not really...I will buy my D16 tag over the counter. Remember - these tags don't sell out during the initial draw. Put in for your "real" premium tags and if you do not get drawn get your D16 when they go on sale after the draw.

True - you will not be able to get your two tags but there are other opportunities that can be had too. AZ is close by and has some great hunts that can be had with minimum points as well.

Only your first choice on the first tag gets tha points so make D16 your second choice on your first tag and you save your points and you will get your D16

A22 is a restricted tag so if doesn't sell out by 8/2 then it's unrestricted next year.......so theirs hope for next year

With A22 being restricted if you dont put in for the draw you could buy it as a first deer tag as well.

Also Nevada, I've been doing some research on it and there are good opportunities for early archery hunters.

Omg. How did we get to this lol

 

[invisible man]

Well can I put in for an a22 then buy an ao over the counter? If so I get the same time in the woods as usual with a few more d zone options.

 

[MJB]

Yes put A22 ras your second choice on your first deer tag and you save your pts

Then your second tag pick up AO

 

[msteiger]

So last year I recall A22 was premium, but it didn't sell out in the draw. I also seem to remember that some people here said their points weren't used to get their A22 draws.

I assume that means if you apply for a draw with points, but it doesn't sell out in the draw, you get it without using your points. It sort of effectively becomes restricted...

any thoughts on this?

Went to the DFG office a couple hours ago. Almost a dozen guys in there all in a panick over D-16 and A-22.

Picked up my A-22 tag and will get an AO later.

Doug, that AO tag will give you a LOT more than just "D" zones.......

Picked up your A22????? You didn't pick it up, it is a premium tag so you mean you put in for the draw

 

[MJB]

A22 is restricted not premium
