Wow thats a bummer![:'(] We have the lottery system here in WI too. It would down right make me mad as heck not to get a tag. When you know some of the people who got one in your state might not even care enough to even go hunting. I know a few folks around here that get drawn for a tag and then don't even go. In WI the people that don't get drawn in the regular lottery can send in for a Fort McCoy tag (Military Base). No garauntee there either. My Buddy had to do that one year, He got his bird that year too. I would find out if your state has any military bases that have a separate draw than the State for Turkeys.

Good Luck
