I hope when applying points for accepting a surplus tag that it becomes applicable from the date the new system goes into effect. I have gone over 10 years without receiving a tag in the draw but have received a surplus tag (after a long delay getting through on the phone lines) only to abort going on the hunt due to very limited road access (northern wmu). Accepted the tag only because that was all that was available (available tags for the wmu we wanted were already gone). Upon looking further into the wmu after receiving the tag came to conclusion the wmu was very limited by road and more a fly in zone. If the points accumulated for years with going without a tag had to be forfeited because of the acceptance of a surplus tag under the circumstances outlined above, it would be very disappointing, especially accepting a surplus tag not knowing this details of this new system be implemented!
