Group Hunt Application instructions:
Group Hunt: The group hunt application is to accommodate those who do not want to hunt unless their hunting partners draw also. Applicants (up to 5) must apply for the same unit and the same weapon choice. Each person will make application and there will be a question on the application about groups.
The first applicant in the group to apply would choose the create group option on this question. This will create a group #.
Each applicant applying after the group has been set up would choose the join group option and they would fill in the Group #. This will bring up the group leaders name, applicants joining a group will not be able to select or change any of the choices already made by the leader. They will select the choice of permit delivery (print and mail, or electronic delivery) and then save changes.
The overall group will be drawn from the lowest preference point in the group.
