I was previously denied a permit for my first choice 7m, and recieved 1 perference point. Today in the mail I get a letter from the DEC w/ a permit for the area I was denied. I never contacted them on the denial. There' s really no explaination, just letter read previously denied applicant. Now in a way I' m both happy, and angry. My original plan was if I recieved a permit for 7m. I was then going to have my wife with a perference point apply to another area I hunt with less chance of obtaining a permit. Knowing she can sign the permit over to me. But because I was denied I had her apply to the same dmu I was denied, which she got. So by recieving 1 in the mail, some how the system must have messed up! Anyone else get previously denied permits in the mail recently, or have news on whats going on?
