Default RE: Pay To Hunt Federal Land?

This is the Georgetown Lake Project. Approx. 2000 acres surrounding the lake proper. They issue 120 permits, splitting the hunters into two groups. One groups hunts mon-thur the second groups fri-sun October, then rotated in November. Yes this is federal land! Hunters are selected : 1.) must have passed hunter safety course. 2.) pass a 10 shot archery test at 3D McKinsie deer targets. (The targets are provided by a local archery club.) $10.00 non-refundable application fee. The Perfect 10 scores are "drawn" first, then the 9's, if any permits are left the 8's are drawn. Must score 8 out of 10 to even be considered. Well over two hundred archers apply each year. Not more than 1 stand per archer. $10 bucks is reasonable, that kicks in over two grand to their coffers.
