I'm not a betting man, but over the last few years as the number of online applications have increased the draws have been held a little quicker along with the release of the results.With their budget crunch I am betting it saves them money but does not speed anything up.
That whole NW corner has been reorganized into three new units. It may be a good year to draw one of those units due to the MRS confusion. The problem being there is no history as to how many tag will be issued.Anybody notice the complete dissolve of Unit 121... Right northwest of cody, is no longer a unit! This being a unit that has been listed as a top prospect by Eastmans in years past. I hunted it personally two years ago and was looking forward to hunting it again in the future. Interesting to see how they split that hunt up into these two newer areas that comprise it now.. I dont remember seeing areas completely disappear before.

There is a downside to this....I have a couple of friends who absolutely won't have or use debit or credit cards. If you can't mail it in with $$$, you are probably scewed.No more paper applications and everything must be done online! That should speed up the draw by a few days I would think.

Doubt if it speeds anything up either, they want you money as long as possible...more interest for them.
***I screwed up in that other post, as we are talking about changes in elk units and for some reason I had my mind on deer. The elk draw is done in February and the results are posted before the end of the month, so you cannot look at the Final Regulations for elk, just for deer and antelope because that draw isn't held until June. Sorry I made that booboo!Did they change the draw date. Non-resident elk tags were drawn in february and they were posted by the end of the month.
That's alright, don't let it happen again or I will have Trent Ban you! LOL***I screwed up in that other post, as we are talking about changes in elk units and for some reason I had my mind on deer.
