2025 = tags sell out in ~26 hours
2024 = tags sell out in ~2 weeks
2023 = tags don't sell out til almost March

The future is grim!

Yep, and there was even a hefty price increase this year to $158 per tag. Did not seem to slow many down.

A shame seeing a state with all the right ingredients for world class turkey hunting being whittled down into a shell of what it once was.

Saw that coming but all three of us in our party got the tags.

I knew when I signed in 10 minutes before go time and there were 3k plus people ahead of me, the tags were gonna go fast. 

We need more hunters!!!!

Watched it happen!  Like Silent Tom I was in line more than ten minutes before the drawing started and had 3,500 people in line in front of me!  The permits went literally as fast as the website could sell them.

All three of us in our group got tags, but I do wonder whether there will be a move to a drawing.  A drawing would disenfranchise a lot of people, but then, this method certainly does as well.  Guess we'll all find out together.
