Yep. The application period for non residents begins in May. The results come out on June 26th. (Counting the days!) It's not cheap either. I think it was $311 this year. If you are not selected, they send your $ back minus an application fee of $10 I think.
In the county I hunt, I have an approximatly 30% chance of getting picked. If you don't get selected, the following year they give you a preference point which will give you a better chance of being selected the following year. It is a bunch of BS!!!!!!!!! I have an uncle with 5,000 acres, yet I can only hunt there every 3-4 years. Definately worth it though!
