Anybody Else Dying to Know the Raffle Results!!!

[cjensen]

I called and the lady confirmed that there was no problems or illegal activity.  She said they are understaffed this year when compared to last year and the results are taking a bit longer to process.   I called a few weeks ago and they said it would be " a week...week and a half".  I called today and they said..." They should be up very soon...probably week..week and half."  lol 

The point is that the people answering the phones dont know what they're talking about.  They could post later this afternoon.  I think they are intentionally vague on exact dates so they dont have to commit and cause they're tired of us bugging them.   I'd be surprised if they werent posted by Monday or Tuesday of next week.

I would guess that if they dont post tomorrow, then we probably wont see them until next Friday.

Understaffed??? They weren't aware of the upcoming draw?
Poor management ALL the way around!

I'm ok with waiting a few more weeks..........just as long as they draw my number!

   It just sucks to drag out the suspense if we are going to be let down!!! Oh well...I bought the tickets for the suspense anyway.

How could they wait until after September 1st? The raffle permit seasons begin on September 1st?

Yeah, give them some credit, they are giving a whole two weeks for the winner to prepare.

I dont care if they wait until after September 1st as long as they draw my number.  With a 3 month season, I think I would still be able to put any one of those permits to good use!

I thought it was a 4 month season?  (Sept 1 to Dec 31)

You are correct, but I was referring to the comment that they would wait until September to draw. If they waited until sometime in September then it essentially becomes a 3 month season by the time they notify the winners and send out the permits, tags, etc.

I see. Yes, three months would be more than enough time to hunt. But of course if it's an elk hunt you'd really want to spend some time hunting in September while they're rutting. Those results better be out this week. I only bought blacktail tickets but if I were to be drawn I would want to be out there hunting on September 1st.

If I were them, everytime somebody called me and asked me when it was going to be done, I'd make you all wait a another day.

I'm thinking there's a good chance the results will be posted tomorrow. If not, then sometime this week for sure. But I definitely won't be calling to find out. I never understood why people do that. Like a phone call is going to make them do it any quicker.
