That's pretty much it. Last year in zone 23 where I hunt there were in fact more permits than applicants and some folks did get two permits as a result, thus they were ablt to take two deer. They have significantly increased the number of permits for that same zone this year so unless there is a significant increase in the number of applicants my chances at getting two is much greater than last year.

I know that I could have easily taken two last year so if the deer are thriving I hope to get that chance this time around. Of course this could also be a year I get skunked. We shall see. Until then I will keep my fingers crossed.
