Apply as a crew
Most lotteries let every member of a party apply, and only one entry has to win. A pool keeps the applications, the dates and the result in one place so nobody in the crew misses the deadline.

Will PermitSnag remind me about the Hells Canyon lottery?
Yes. Track Hells Canyon and you get an email when applications open, another before the deadline, and one when results post. You apply once and stop watching the calendar.
