I was in the queue for fishing license login..... I'm pretty sure that queue is just a login tracker to the customer portal.

 :yeah:

Correct, we will find out the demand soon enough. I think most people will surprised at the over interest and demand now. I know plenty of people that applied for their first time.

I'm one of them.  I've always just bought a hunting license to be able to apply for the LE tags.  But with the changes this year, a work buddy and I applied for deer and elk as partners.  Excited to see if we get drawn for either.

I applied for typical deer tag then did elk because why not it’s free and went for high demand unit and my strategy might be flawed but put my deer party in for elk knowing they might not buy the tag if drawn but my understanding is that gave me two more chances to draw it minus if your on the butt end of it and that’s more tags than they have

When’s the draw? Any rumors yet?  We know you have to buy tag buy 20th snd they are going to want to give you a week or two to decide so draw should be between now and 13th?   Guessing next Tuesday the 6th.

I think you have to purchase by the 10th! Not much time to figure out it all

I was hoping we would get some movement today on results... I am also quite curious what the odds/demand end up being. We shall see!

I figured it would be today or tomorrow at the latest so you would have 2 weeks to buy your tag but only they know for sure.

They might also wait till Friday since that was how many days we had to apply, 10 days.

Only put in for deer, and was successful.  A lot easier than the past system in my opinion.
