Reservation account locked
« on: November 16, 2024, 06:18:07 PM »
Looks like I violated the terms and conditions and my account has been locked for 60 days.  I haven’t used the system for a year or two but, full disclosure, I’m guilty as charged, no excuses, no appeal, no argument.  It isn’t allowed to delete a reservation in one account and then pick it up in another.  I should have known better.  Consider this my walk of shame. 

So, I’ll serve out my debt to society and maybe try again next year. 

I had a couple of primo reservations that should have gone back into the system.  Hopefully one or two of you honest system users found them and can make good use of them.

Anyone else ever had their account locked and want to confess?

Never had my account locked but usually don't have any reservations booked. Pretty competitive to get one. For some reason even when I am hovering over the button when they become available I still can't get one.
If you had some good ones booked why would you try to switch accounts? Were you trying to pass it to a buddy? Couldn't you just add them to yours?

reservation for what?

I was wondering the same thing until I saw it in the waterfowl topic. I think since this is a waterfowl thread that the OP is referring to the reservation system for popular waterfowl hunting locations... ( I know nothing about it other than second hand info ) But I could be wrong. In essence I think he is saying he double booked which must be against the rules.

Is there a published rule somewhere that you can't drop a reservation and have someone else get it?  I'm wondering how you can prevent someone from picking up the reservation if you cancel it?

I think if it’s coordinated, it’s considered a transfer.  I don’t think transfers are allowed but I’m locked out, can’t even read the terms and conditions.

So, if you use the system and coordinate hunts across accounts with your buddy, family member, etc., be aware of the rules.  Maybe call and check before you wade into a gray area. 

Like they say, every click you make …  well, it’s all recorded.

I didn't see anything within the account, only access terms within the printed reservation.

On the website it says:

Quote
All rules of the WDFW Hunt by Reservation Program must be followed in addition to any special rules for the individual property including those posted at the site.

It doesn't say where these rules are located, I couldn't find any.

There should be a link at the bottom of your home page.

Found it, had to scroll way down.

Reservations are non-transferrable.

Apparently if you cancel the reservation and your friend goes on the site like anyone else could do and reserves it they consider that a transfer.  Apparently, only people you don't know can then reserve it by some very liberal definition of transfer.  If people are getting penalized for telling people they are going to cancel a reservation, it will likely just lead to them not cancelling it and nobody being able to hunt it to avoid the issue.

On many of these sites you can still hunt them if no one has arrived by 8:30am.

Not the reservation waterfowl sites, at least any that I have been to.  If you don't have a reservation you are trespassing.

Actually there used to be a few sites like that until this year. Now you can reserve via a QR code after 8am
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

If you are not willing to die for freedom then take the word out of your vocabulary.

Definitely not on the hunt by reservation sites. If nobody hunts it the field gets a rest day. Plenty of folks will reserve a site to have an afternoon hunt, I'd be pretty pissed off if I finally reserved a good field and rolled in at 2pm to find some dingus in my spot shooting over their own decoy spread.
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.
