It is all relative.
I hunt 7m and it always seems hard to get permits (not because they don' t issue them - they issue more than most other areas - but because it is one of the biggest units and probably one of the most heavily hunted)
Then again some areas this year have automatic DMP for 1st and second choice
Now that we can sign over permits we try and get freinds from other areas to apply for us and we in turn will apply for them - it works out pretty good.

back to ur original question King Hugh:
At some point after October 1st (i think that is the date) they will announce that u can reapply for DMPs at you local issuers. I would call and keep in touch with the issuer for the date - it is first come first serve. Last year, if i remember correctly, it was on the opening day of bow.
