the second lottery ends on the 13th of august. I have found in the past that if I apply for firearm and muzzlelloader tags at the same time in the first lottery I only get the muzzleloader tags and get my money back for firearm tags. So the last couple years I have waited til they posted the draw for firearm tags and then send in to get muzzleloader tags that way I get another weekend to take a doe on our over populated property
