by lottery will continue until all hunters present at the time of the lottery
have received a choice standing. In the event that the number of hunters
present exceeds the number of blinds available for the initial shoot, the
blind choice standing will be used to determine order of allocation for
any subsequent hunt opportunities as blinds are vacated.
-Hunters arriving after the
conclusion of the lottery draw will be assigned a blind choice standing
in relation to their order of arrival. Theses hunters will not be accommodated
until after all lottery participants have accepted or rejected a blind;
-When initial shoot
participants vacate blinds, blinds will be "resold" according to the blind
choice standing. It is the hunter's responsibility to be personally present
at the waterfowl office at the time a resale blind becomes available.

a registration card which requests names, addresses, and license and permit
