2022 special permit draw results

In all honesty they should just shut the whole site down so their work and put it back up when finished. Probably make things easier on them.

That may be what it comes to.  Just not sure how they do that.  Just put up a page that says "site down for maintenance" or something. There is so much that has to happen.  They have to pull points from winners, restore points to losers, update winners of being eligible to purchase tag they drew and all of this has to happen for every license holder in every category.  It is literally a metric blank ton of data going through the server coupled with thousands of impatient Huntwa Shaniqua fanboys trying to see not selected.

It literally needs a spreadsheet, any competent programmer should be able to make a simple program that runs almost instantly. The fact that they can't manage to do that however, is unsurprising.

I only check this site. Once this blows up I know it’s time to get the whiskey ready for the loser lounge

Holy cow...at this rate we may just get to the 80 page mark before results are posted

That's exactly right.  I seriously doubt that the process is done manually.  That's what they have computers for.

Yeah, after hearing the anecdotes of how the draw is run I think it’s time for an overhaul. This should be something that’s automatically run at 12:01am after the draw is closed and then results are available, at most, an hour later. It should be something that takes less than 24 hours including a verification the following day.

Somewhere, someone’s job is dependent on the draw being in the stone ages so that’s where it stays lol.

A spreadsheet.

Not sure what their website/database is based on, but I’m a database manager for our database that has a web interface. When we are pushing major updates to our Production environment, it is one checkbox that takes the entire system offline. Anybody that’s currently logged in gets booted on a page refresh, and anyone trying to log in gets a message that we are down for maintenance/upgrades.

Seems like WDFW should just go that route.

Everythings gone.  Its gonna happen today.  Getting drawn for it all

That's what I think it will come to. 

I think the witness thing has become a double edged sword.  They want to get more witnesses so more people understand how it all works and get their questions answered but more witnesses mean more loose lips which increases traffic and slows the process down and potentially crashes the system.

All I'm saying is I have moose bullets in my cart on another site.
C'mon triple 777 me!

Nevada did their whole draw on a YouTube live stream this year. Why can't WDFW do that as well? Complete transparency to thousands of people in real time.

Never know.

Remember the days when people wouldn’t lose their collective minds checking the site over and over.😂  You just would get a call from a buddy that checked his mail before you and got his post card from the game department with maybe 5 options. Moose, goat, sheep, deer and elk.
