Personally, I think the yearly data should be kept in house and not made public. The Gold Rush effect is obviously still very much alive and well.

It's kinda scary what this data actually shows....this draw actually drew/recruited more hunters than YouTube ever did. I hope other states are paying attention.

There was a significant drop in the number of applications this year. I think people are finding out Mississippi in March isn't as easy as some videos can make it out to be.

When the number of non-resident turkey permit sales and March 7-day license sales doubles in about 3 years (2019-2021), and the bulk of those new non-resident hunters are going to public land, a state owes it to its resident hunters to do something about it. So no, the draw didn't increase the jump in demand we saw from 2019-2021 because it didn't even exist.

Let me make sure I understand you correctly, are you saying it was another record year for WMA draw applications, but a significant drop in OOS Public Land permit applications?

Correct. The NR Open Public draw had about 500 less applications.

It evident that free draws and quotas recruit applicants. It's called the Scarcity principle. It's marketing 101. I don't believe it was done intentionally but it was done none the less. Cheers and maybe I'll draw one day!
