Tag Lock Out

[tgomez]

with the tag lock out with FISH AND WILDLIFE when can we buy our bear tag?  It's frustrating!

Nobody knows yet. Bear hunting should be free like fishing is. Seems like they're discriminating against hunters.

Nobody gives a damn about hunting right? Said the jack wagon wdfw official....

Filled my first bear tag on Sunday and wanted to pick up my second tag and hunt this weekend, but am now effectively prevented from doing so

Please explain tag lock out. My son and I plan on going bear hunting tomorrow and I was going to pick up my tag today. Is that not possible?

All of the licensing computer system has been shut down until further notice due to being hacked so the WDFW is offering free fishing until Aug 31st but you can't buy any hunting licenses or tags until it's fixed

Not possible till they fix the website problem... But I could be wrong, although I'm pretty sure I'm right.

I'd call your local game warden to see if they will be out enforcing any bear tag possession. It is absolute BS what is happening.

I heard the hack happened some time ago. Maybe that's why they took so long to decide what to do about left over multi permits. They probably needed the extra revenue before doing a system lockdown. So they kept it quiet until after the leftover rush.

So if I call in and tell a little white lie like "I tried cheking my points yesterday and it says I don't have as many as I did this spring they'll believe me and add points?

I use the Point Hunter App, and as of yesterday, it no longer shows any of my WA info.

Does anyone know what info was compromised? The news doesn't say much

Being the great govt agency it is I'm sure WDFraud & Wolves will make sure this contractor will get a nice bonus and renewed contract despite its ineptitude
