My understanding is that as the party leader (which you should be at this point), you are still in just with no friends. However, I have never tested this. While I have flakey friends, none have dropped out on a hunt.
Definitely call them so you can get the skinny on amending the application if needed.
Well I’m good, dude actually put in today to my surprise. I thought he was gonna back out. He did give me a little heart ache still because he told me he put in for elk combo and I put in for BG combo and figured that was going to wreck our app but a call to the number above and they said that is ok.
