Why call when you can get the results online ???not selected for either... didn't think i would be since i was selected for both last year in the first drawing... oh well maybe i'll get picked up for deer in the second drawing. :'(
I don't believe there will be a second drawing. They're doing it different this year. They are drawing more people than there are available permits. Purchasing the permit is first come, first serve. So not all who get drawn will get a permit.
Is it 180 now..... :o
Is it 180 now..... :o
$180 PLUS the cost of the deer or elk tag!!!
You guys that show 'SELECTED' might want to go to where you buy licenses/permits and see if it might already show up as an option to purchase...

Can you purchase from a dealer or online???? I thought you had to get them in person at the DFW office. :dunno:I've been drawn for deer twice and elk once and bought them all online
Gotta love this state. Last week I was not selected, today my cousin calls and said the back door was up and the site hadn't changed, I checked mine and it went from not selected to selected. I call the state and asked them what the hell is going on because this crap is getting old, he tells me what is on the site is the actual draw and that it is not official until they make sure there was no problems. I asked him why and the hell do they keep doing this crap to us? I said so let me make this clear, your gonna wave theese results in front of our face for a week, but we can't have them yet, until you guys work out the kinks for a week? He said yep! I said you guys are terrible and the way you guys run things is unfair to your hunters and anglers, goodbye! So don't hold your breath, but like some of you I hope it sticks.

WOW! You are calling them to complain about the system allowing you to look at unverified results before they are verified???? Whats your beef with that? If you cant take the suspense then dont look. Just wait for your tag in the mail!
Some of us like the rollercoaster ride. Its all we have to look forward to this time of year.

I'd much rather have this online sytem to deal with than going back and having to wait for a postcard in the mail! But maybe some of you don't remember those days......

I just talked to her and she said "so this means that I am going to be hunting widow?" my response "uh, yeah"
she was understanding but not happy. At least the son is old enough to go out for part of the day with the three of us at times come this fall.
I got the deer last year and bought it online. You guys remember these are not the official results yet so don't expect to be able to buy them right now...probably in a day or so I bet.
So Im just curious to all of you who put in for tags in other states, do you know the back door into they're results? Im gonna assume not, and only because I have never heard of it or read it on this site, unless I missed it. I am also wondering why you think its ok for our state to mislead us or show us a little smoke and mirrors. Why not just get they're *censored* together and do it right. So when I asked the gentlemen today why this happens (results being posted and not official numerous times) and he says and I quote "we hit the wrong button", and Im the one who looks like a *censored* for thinking enough is enough and making a phone call. And yes I understand there is nothing posted announcing the results, but when you can simply click on hunting, then click on special permits and apps, and then right there at the top-middle is a link to check drawing results to click, seems pretty much advertised to me. Maybe Im missing something I don't know.
“Real” Draw Day
Nothing too much different from a test draw happened July 11th. A few more people watching (citizen witness, program/division heads). A preliminary numbers test is done to compare what we got on the test server, and what happened on the live server. And the draw is signed off as complete and legit – but not verified.
This is when you hear “DO NOT TRUST THE RESULTS UNTIL YOU SEE THEM POSTED ON THE FRONT PAGE”. The auditing starts all over again. This is where last year we found that some (we are talking less then 2%) of the entries did not have their bonus points included. Eventually it was found that a small change on the partial copy test we did, messed things up. And we had to start the ping pong game all over.
So what’s next? If everything checks out tonight (yea those 4 are still working as I write) and Monday morning, results will be officially posted. If one tiny little piece is out of whack its last year all over.
So now the good news after the last doom and gloom sentence. Things have been looking good. Submittal deadline was dead on, very (and this very very very) few mistakes were found on the applications, testing and re-testing came up with small glitches but nothing major, and not too many “I got a connection high up” people. We learned (yea I know hard to believe) from our mistakes from previous years. Confidence is pretty damn high around the building.
Now don’t get me wrong. Until you see that link on the front page of the hunting section, the results you may have seen are not valid. So if a problem does happen between now and then please don’t say “You pulled my dream hunt from me”.
Is it 180 now.....
