Now that we are now waiting for the permit results to be posted

[Mfowl]

Wasn't the points page like a new "back door" last year during the whole email debacle of '18? People could see their points having been spent in categories before the actual results were posted?

I knew I drew quality elk in the morning but results were not up till that afternoon. Checked active licenses and hunt reporting and had quality tag listed

If they put the points/special hunt tab up without results, what was the point of taking it down?

 Exactly

Ya I don’t know. But they take it down every year, and I’ve never picked up on any correspondence between the 2.  You could put it back up there with exactly the same information that it displayed before they took it down.

I don't remember them taking it down in the past. Doesn't mean they didn't. Just saying I don't remember that.

They definitely never put up a message saying it would be put back up by a certain date.

They probably took it down to free up the server and to take a breather.  I think they have to use the same server for the draw and constant checking is a drain on resources. The faster the server, the sooner you will see results.

They could punch a couple of buttons within 24 hours of the permit buying deadline and have the results. Remember it is all electronic and the system knows immediately when you buy a permit and when you submit it. Delays only allow more time for shenanigans to occur in the draw process.

The new back door

When I drew my goat tag in 2017, there was only a minute or 2 between the 2 happening. The active license did happen first for sure, but it was only a few minutes later when it “officially” said I drew.

3-4 weeks to get results. Please show what other western states have results out in less time.

Last year it was several hours. Several long anguished hours. Waiting for my moose permit to be official.

Utah and Colorado take much longer than wa for example

I’ll gladly wait a bit for odds that don’t round to zero.

It should be done earlier in the year.  Alaska for example.  Apply in December, results in February

It’s sure nice having time to plan

  WY elk is January. ID is ridiculous with their deadline and results some of the controlled hunts start in August thanks a lot for the time to plan. I have to submit vacation before the idaho deadline for August hunts in case I draw.

Sadly, WY will be the worst starting next year. A Jan deadline to submit and results won't be out until late June. Worst of both worlds.
