This occurs when two hunters finish the check-in process within less than a second of each other, and both hunters may be issued the same stand. In this case, please sign out and find another stand, there are plenty of other stands to choose from. The Wildlife Biologist or the Fish and Wildlife officer is NOT responsible for settling check-in disputes.
