Phone application or a paper application?
If you have paper, contact SRD and IBM, that ought to get more than 1 eyebrow raised. If it was a phone application, well now you see why I refuse to go the phone route. Cause your pretty much hooped.
Hopefully this spring it can be done on line.

The only code you can enter for the WMU choice is 305 but you are allowed to hunt several WMU's including 304.

Dick after your post, I dug my paper application out of my gun cabinet to check it. Damn, didn't they put in for 305. I had my draw# and zone written down on the back page that comes with the draw guidlines. I do this every year so the dummies at Canadian Tire can follow direction. I must have walked away without checking my receipt. My bad. I don't usually do this but I must have been in a hurry.

Other than complain to the manager over there, I guess I gotta suck this one up or hunt in 305.

I was only a 2 prioreity, hmmm, always thought you had to be at least a 4.

Tuc,

As pointed out, your draw code is 305 but you can hunt all turkey zones.....it was your only choice so you did it properly.

You can hunt turkey's in the following zones:

300-308, 400, 402....

Really, I didn't know that, I better get the regs out and read up on turkeys, it's been awhile.

Me too.
Have never applied for turkey, since it is in country a bit far to justify hotel's and or camping for 1 turkey.
I can fly to Texas take 4 birds for less than it would likely cost me to go for 1 week, for 1 bird.
But that's only because I have a friend in Texas.
