In another thread I learned that it would likely come from a lady by the name of Kara. Hope I see it soon. Very excited to know what unit I will get to hunt.

I talked to a guy last year on the crow creek duck hunt that said he had been drawn for that hunt 3 years in a row. That’s some bull crap when there are thousands applying that will never been drawn.

There was another reply on their FB the other day where they (AL WFF) indicated that there have only been an average of 2700 applicants for the SOA hunts. I don't know if that was deer/turkey/duck/small game combined or just deer. That seems a surprisingly low number to me even if it's for only the deer hunts.

I agree with you, that number is way too low.
