Dedicated Hunter cap question

I hear that the cap has been reached for the dedicated hunters here in Utah.
My question is this:
This is my last year in the 3yr program, so this next year Will I have to reapply and chance not being in the program? Or since I am in right now do I just pay my next three years dues and become good for another 3 year period?

In my opinion since I am in now I should stay in the program until I decide not to or miss the deadline of applying the fee.

Anyone know anything about this?

Don't have any official work, but since you're IN now...to me you're IN period until you want out?

You are one of the 10,000 so you shouldn't have a problem getting in next year.

That would be my guess as well. But just not sure. It would suck if I have to applie and get kicked out.

I emailed Sue Robinson @ the springville DWR office and this was her reply back to me.

Jared,
Once your enrollment period expires you will need to enroll again, no spots are saved for prior members.
Once the application period opens, it's based on first come first serve until the cap is met.
The next enrollment period will be the beginning of 2009 unless otherwise indicated, make sure you keep up on current information regarding the program. Our web site is the best source of information regarding the Dedicated Hunter program, it is located at wildlife@utah.gov

I am so sorry, if there is anything else I can do to help you or answer any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your interest in the Dedicated Hunter program!

Seems kinda weird, but I guess that is the really only fair option??

It either had to be a first come first serve or a draw........
first come,first serve seems to be a little more fair than a draw to me.
I reserved my spot on the 2nd, and sent my payment in the next day, certified mail. :thumb

so basically, the more DEDICATED you are, the more likely you'll be to get in next year.
