Based on checking I did for a hunt, if its an OTC tag, the outfitter will probably help you get it. If its draw only and they don't have outfitter tags, then the way it seemed to work, was you put in your deposit with the outfitter, he helped you apply for the draw. If you were successfull, you're in. If not, couple things could happen:

- roll your deposit to next year and try again (whether you got this years rates or next years rates varied)
- refund the deposit
- Option to buy a land owner tag ($$$$)
