When I called WDFW they stressed the timeline for mailing but didn't have much concern about others personal info being given out along with the fact we now have someone else's tag.
Maybe it was a fluke and we were the only ones it happened to but, I find that unlikely.

A week later I received another mailing from Montana, which contained two more antelope licenses and another Conservation License. I called the Montana FWP and explained that I had received two licenses by mistake. They checked their records and told me “No, you are only allowed two licenses, not four.” I told them that I was aware of that, but had accidentally received two additional licenses by mistake. “No, that can’t be – our records indicate that you are only allowed to have two.” I finally gave up on convincing them of their error.
As I was concluding the call, I informed the Montana FWP lady that I’d also received an extra Conservation License and would be glad to destroy it. She warned me not to do it: if I got two I had to send one back to Montana to get a refund or their records might show that I had two which is illegal. I asked her what would happen if I just tore it up, and she told me I’d probably be arrested when I got to Montana. Not wanting that, I stuck it in an envelope and mailed it back.
A few weeks later I got a $10 refund check mailed to me from Montana. Enclosed in the envelope was another Conservation License.

Not sure if it's still the case but as of a couple years ago WDFW didn't actually send out the licenses. It was the license vendor company who sent them out using WDFW envelopes.

Little known fact:

So you’re trying to say this isn’t WDFW’s problem?

I received my tags in the mail yesterday along with the holder for the WDFW access pass but no access pass??Happened to me too. Had to actually add the access pass to my cart and it was sent out. Even without a dealer fee when I just added the pass. Normally it just comes along with your first purchase.

If they work for WDFW as a sub, it is still WDFWs problem.

Did I say it wasn't their problem? I said it's a vendor that fills the envelopes. Obviously it's an issue the agency needs to resolve with the vendor (who happens to be the vendor for other states as well).If they work for WDFW as a sub, it is still WDFWs problem.Little known fact:So you’re trying to say this isn’t WDFW’s problem?

I was just trying to figure out why you introduced irrelevant information. Be it a lower tier vendor, WDFW, or Willy Wonka, it's WDFW's issue. Like most things they do: Fish and Game Mgmnt. Lake Rehabilitations, Construction Projects, etc, they provide lack luster efforts and less than acceptable results.

Last year they sent me 2 deer tags and 2 elk tagsFirst year of online sales I received 2 elk and 6 deer tags, they also didn't have E or W for the elk and none of them had weapon choices. I once received another hunters Wyoming antelope license along with mine, I just mailed him the license.

A few years ago I applied and was drawn for two doe/fawn antelope licenses in Montana. After the drawing I received the two licenses in the mail, along with a required $10 Conservation License.
A week later I received another mailing from Montana, which contained two more antelope licenses and another Conservation License. I called the Montana FWP and explained that I had received two licenses by mistake. They checked their records and told me “No, you are only allowed two licenses, not four.” I told them that I was aware of that, but had accidentally received two additional licenses by mistake. “No, that can’t be – our records indicate that you are only allowed to have two.” I finally gave up on convincing them of their error.

How was prison?
