Unfortunately, I gotta side with Hadley Crrek on this one, here is why.............

NR Archery tags did NOT sell out the first go around last year, and they have not yet come remotely close to reaching the Outfitter drawing quota.

That leaves two possibilities that I can come up with......

1. Your buddy simply forgot to apply before the deadline, or he would have gotten a tag.

2. Credit card did not work...for whatever reason.

While Hadley Creek Outfitters is WAY bigger than my little operation, I have no doubt they don`t like to throw money away.

I warn each and every one of my clients that IF they forget to get their tags(which would be tough because I bug them until they enter the lottery) that not only will they NOT get their 50% deposit back, but I still expect the remaining 50%!!

By the time someone realizes that they missed their chance at a tag, it is too late for anyone elseto get a tag either. That means that in this case, Hadley Creek had to eat a spot that they could have filled 100 times over.
