I know, that is the weird thing. Guess it depends on how you interpret the regulations. I was under the impression that the "leftover permits" meant that any that were not drawn.
From the big game regulations:
• August 1 – Last date for purchase of permits from first
deer, elk, pronghorn, fall bear drawing.
• August 5-15 – Second application period for deer, elk,
pronghorn, fall bear.
• August 25 – Winners of second drawing for deer, elk,
pronghorn, and fall bear will be notified by this date.
• August 25 – Leftover permits from second deer, elk,
pronghorn, bear drawing go on sale at 10 a.m.
I don't see how they could notify the winners and put the leftover permits up for sale on the same day unless they were talking about different things.
