Issues while purchasing tags?

[bobcat]

Okay, I gotta take back what I said before, that I had no issues with purchasing my licenses and submitting applications. It's been almost 4 weeks since I received my envelope from the WDFW and when I got it I knew what it was so I just put it in a safe place without opening it. I've never had any problems before, but tonight I opened the envelope to see what they sent me. Hunting license, yes, deer tag, yes, elk tag yes. Umm... but what about my bear and cougar tags? Nope, nowhere to be found. Dang it, gotta call them on Monday. They better not charge me for replacements.

Jimmer and luv2hunt,       When the draw system changed to multiple categories years ago, that's when you received points in those categories . Everyone did, this new system allows you to see them is all.

Why would I receive points for 65 and older when I'm only 51?

Because at the time there was one idiot in particular working for the WDFW who came up with this ridiculous plan, and then lied and said that they had the support of the majority of the hunters.

Is that fella at WDFW gone? Retired?

Yes. Dave Ware. He retired.

It's just my opinion but i feel this plan is awesome or at least it will be when the bugs get worked out.We can't blame the system or the guy that came up with it can we?At this point it is the people doing it and the program that is causing the problems.Remember the old system didn't work right all the time either.

Unless you kept your confirmation number your out of luck like I was. Hope you have it still and if not start keeping it like I will be......

Me too on my son's deer report from last year.  I always report these, and write the number down, of course who knows where that number is now....

This year, I took photos of my confirmation ordering screens and will do the same of my reporting conf. #.

We all have cell phones,i always snap a pic of all my hunting stuff (now its even easier with the new system) and put it in a hunting file in my phone,when needed its always there.
