credit card hit

For those of you who drew last year. When did the hits start showing up??? Will you check your bank statements and give us the day?

The suspense builds as I predict 1 week from today, they will start showing up.

Mine showed on the 14th of april last year and my wifes showed on the 16th. Both were deer tags

I GOT A HIT!!!!

Oh wait, it's for Old Navy:) Gonna have to have a chat with the wife.......
 
Do you guys think it will be a week or two longer this year because they moved the draw deadline back 17 days or so?

The draw has allready taken place.. the official posting is April 29th. The credit cards should start sometime around the 20th
 
I noticed they closed down the drawing history page as well. Probably have everything posted and ready for people.... now the wait!

They charged my card on June 24th last year, but my tag was a surrender tag. ;)

Praying for the best!! Good luck to all the hard working, easy going sports people out there!! We're all preying for luck, we can't just go buy a premimim tag, we need a little luck, and for hell sakes we deserve it!! Good luck!!:7


Work to hunt!! Live to hunt!! And the rest spent keeping the wife happy!!
 
Amen

A big Amen to those of us that put in the hard way hoping to draw a premium tag. I have 3 kids below first grade and the only day I'll be able to buy a premium outfitted tag is when a pig flies over a frozen lake in Hell. I do wish the best for everyone no matter your circumstance.

Is anyone getting inpatient, I am, I think I become a little to excited at this time, waiting to get my unsuccessful email or see a credit hit, most likely unsuccessful email.
 
I am gonna say tonight after midnight some of us
should see some activity!
good luck

Nothing yet. I talked with an old neighbor this morning at the store and she said last year the fish and game called her husband 2 days before the hunt and gave him a Wasatch LE tag because they had 1 left over. I am sure I will never be that lucky.

THERE IS NOTHING BETTER THAN WATCHING THE SUN SET AFTER A GOOD DAY HUNTING OR FISHING.
 
When I had that happen to me for Monroe Archery last year it was June 24th. It was my birthday. I had to call the DWR back 2 times because I thought one of my buddies played a prank on me. I still didn't believe until my card was charged and the tag showed up in the mail a few days later.

I've got my debit card account set up to email me whenever I make a purchase, so hopefully I will be making a permit purchase soon.
 
Nope....nothing...not yet.

This is just another way the DWR can piss us off.;-) Maybe I won't get a tag and I can REALLY be pissed off?
 
Interesting that nobody has been hit for elk tags. On the Muley Board a bunch of guys are getting hits for deer, antelope and bighorn tags.
 
My card only has a $40 authorization that came across today. Looks like I'm 0 for 22 years now for elk :(

Cheers,
Pete
 
Don't expect the Elk tag and the Deer tag to be charged together on your card. They might still show up as seperate charges. I just got hit for $40 for a southern region deer tag with 0 preference points, but I haven't heard yet on the LE Archery Elk with 10 Bonus points. There's still a chance.
 
I just noticed that I have a pending charge for $333.00 . The only tags that add up to that are the wife's bookcliff deer tag and my wasatch early rifle elk tag. Hate to assume anything!!

Good Luck!

Just got hit for $320! Wifes muzz Southern deer tag and either my Muzz. LE Boulder Elk tag or her Late Monroe Elk tag! Good luck Guys!
 
Account went down about $300 from yesterday, ended up being automatic bill pay for gas, water and power. Bummer!
 
My lucky brother who drew San Jaun for elk last year drew Paunsaugunt muzzleloader deer this year with just one point. Nothing for me. At least we will have acouple good hunts coming up.
 
Way to go Brian!!! If ya need any help, touchbase with me... I could shoot some film of your unit for you to 'at home scouting' to get some knowledge of the lay of the land...and DVD it to ya....

ktc............... talk to us brothaaaaaa

PD,

I was staying out of this because I knew I would draw for a year now.;-) Well, me or my wife anyway. I had a 280 pending charge from Wednesday and it posted last night. DWR $280. It pretty much has to be me I think? Diamond Mountain should be great this year with all of the moisture?;-)

Congrats on your tag. We also have lots of goat points. You will do great and hopefully you have some goat tips for me later. I cannot judge elk, let alone a 10" billy? Again congrats. Good luck to your dad. Deseret would be more fun than general deer!
 
Utah sucks! All this talk about credit card hits. I had max points for LE elk and desert sheep. My wife has Max points for LE elk and Mt goat. My two sons have 10 points each for LE elk and Mt goat and Moose. No credit card hits at all. I guess I'll have to open up poaching season to hunt in my own state.
 
Buff...
are you saying your a poacher??
STILL A STUPID STATEMENT!
And you are not lone their are lots of other folk with just
plain bad luck!
 
No I'm not one yet. I was hoping that the DWR reads this and would get to thinking that there way of drawing was in need of some changes. I know of a guy that has drawn 2 LE Elk tags and a LE deer tag while I've been still waiting for my first one. I've been going to other states to hunt. It's making me about mad enough to open my own season though.

A lot of guys are in the same boat.
How would you want the state to change the drawings? Give everyone a permit.yea, that would work..NOT
I think it is about as good a system as it can be... and the guys who have drawn a few permits, just are luckier than the rest of us.
That's like saying Vegas isn't fair because somebody else always wins the money. It does suck but gambling is gambling...
Some are luckier than others...
The only thing you could do there would be to make all permits OIL permits...????
Tell us a better way and if it looks good, I'm sure we'd all help you get it changed.
Good Luck..
 
I know I'm just P.O. I'm 52 and have not hunted Utah since I was 40. At this rate if I ever draw it will probably be the last time I ever get to. Think about it do you want to only hunt Utah once after your 40 years old. I went to a meeting at DWR before they ever went to a draw. At that time they said that if you had not draw after 7 years you would get a tag. Well 7 years was up a long time ago. I guess I'll have a drink and cool down. One month from today I'll be hunting in South Africa maybe that will help seddel me down this year.
 
I feel for you buf, I really do!!! All we can do is hope that it will happen for us one day!!Good luck to you, it's not over yet!!!


Work to hunt!! Live to hunt!! And the rest spent keeping the wife happy!!
 
Looks like "Cow Slayer" will have a chance to hunt for bulls this year on a limited entry hunt in Utah. Drew a "Late Season Ladies Tag", with 9 points. I'm excited as a ...

CS
 
Hey Buf, I know where you're coming from. I'm sure my LE elk hunting days are over.. At least it sounds like you have the means to hunt elsewhere, especially if you're headed to Africa.
Keep us posted as to how you do. There are always those hated "conservation permits" if you really need to go after a LE bull in Utah... Probably wouldn't cost much more than getting caught poaching, plus it would be better where you could actually let someone see your bull after you get it..LOL

Looks like a few more guys are getting permits...Good to see they are still rolling in... Still keeping my fingers crossed and begging the DWR to take my money
 
You are right antlerrick. It is not over. Keep hoping!

WARBIRDUM I think your charge is posted also!
 
hay buff
I was not nailing you to a cross.. sorry!!
elk forum guys are easier on guys who say things when they're
frustrated!
I am 44 and never been outta the country!!!
So have fun on the dark continent!

There's still hope..

Got back into town today and checked my card (cabela's) nothing... So I call them and ask if there were any pending charges that hadn't been posted yet??? Looks like I'm finally out of the game after 21 years of playing. Wasatch premium elk here I come 3 1/2 months of scouting and 50 days of hunting. No looking back for me after 20 years of applying for the Pavhant.

Evan
 
Good deal Evan. Lucky number 13 in points. The point system in Utah worked as planned. After 21 years of religious applications it should tilt the scales your way. This was my 25th year and finally it had to work because of the point system. Unless it did not work and it was my wife?

Good luck hunting.
 
While it may be frustrating to not get a tag after years of applying, the alternatives aren't any better.
Do you propose they just hand out tags to averybody that has say 7 points if they havn't yet drawn? I didn't look up the numbers but on the surface that doesn't sound like a very good idea.

At least you have some big bulls. There are still hunters on OR that have yet to be drawn for an elk tag after 12 years and our Weneha unit pales to the NM unit I hunted last year, let alone a premium UT unit.
UT manages for quality, that word is forbidden at Oregon Fish and Game meetings. Opportunity is the management strategy up here. Objectives of 10/100 and 3-4 year old bulls.

Good luck on your hunts guys.
 
When some people have drawn twice and others have not drawn at all. There has to be a better way. Many years ago I was putting in for some hunts for a long time. So I found all the statistics on the drawings and wrote the Fish and Game a nasty letter. Later that same year I drew both a Bear and a Bison tag. That sure made it look like things are fixed to me. Now who do I pay off to get a tag? Or is it time for a nasty letter again. I'm beginning to think my name is UNSUCSESFUL UNSUCSESFUL.
 
I personally think the Wyoming system is the best by far. Giving 75% of the tags to the max points (Colorado style), yet 25% to the general apps (New Mexico style). It truly rewards those with max points, yet gives everyone a shot.
Other systems try to accomplish, but with zero luck IMO.

Have you ever really ran the numbers on some of Utah's LE units? Besides the odds you have for the "Bonus Tags"- your odds are pretty worthless whether you have 3 pts or 7 or 10, etc.

Should I give up on the cc hit? I guess i'll just sit back and wait for the infamous "UNSUCCESSFUL" letter to show up!! I'll tell you what, I'm getting completely frustrated with trying to draw a tag!! It kinda makes me think about giving up!! i won't though, I'm too far into it!!
Congrats to all the ones that did draw!!! Lucky Beastards!!

KTC, Tell your wife congratulations!!! J/K. Either way you should have a great fall!

Buffalo,

Don't feel bad, most of the guy's in this state are in the same boat you are. A good friend of mine has drawn elk 3 times and was eligible to apply again this year. Who knows, maybe he will draw again! In his off years he hunts the wasatch unit on SFW conservation tags! If only some of us could catch a break of good luck like him!

Congrats to all of you who drew! This should be another great year for antler growth! Have a great day!

Doesn't look like anything is coming our way. We'll just buy over the counter Northern deer permits and rifle elk permits this year.

Smokepole
 
Buff,
The giving a tag to everyone who has 7 points would only work for a year or so before it would start to diminish the quality of the herd pretty fast..and in a couple more years they would be just as well off to go back to a statewide open bull...I don't think that is what any of us want...
If you pulled a bear and a bison, you shouldn't feel too bad...
Maybe you need to let us all know who to write the NASTY letter to...lol..

Well, guess I'll have to give up if something doesn't happen in the next day or two... My son got another mysterious $1 charge again... I don't quite know what to think of this $1 thing??
Keep the faith, everyone!!!!
 
LAST EDITED ON Apr-24-06 AT 10:29AM (MST)[p]Uhm.....I have $508 missing from credit card. I put in for a Premium.......Do I dare get excited now or wait for the letter to arrive just to make sure?
 
hunter1975

Hell Ya!

Get excited...that is what it is all about...
What unit would that be for???

All they can do is say, "just kidding"....
If the money is gone, I'd think you have the tag!
Congrats!!
 
so no CC hit for me, i called to see if there was any posting to my card as of today that wasnt on my online statement yet and no go. So am i out of the running or what?
 
General deer tags for the wife and I. One point less then max on LE elk and no tag???? That makes twelve or thirteen years straight(I've honestly lost count) and no LE Elk tag. With the increase in tag numbers one would have thought this was the year.

Bunch of crap if you ask me, but what's a guy to do? The UDWR sure didn't picture people having to put in for this long to draw. If they did they sure weren't telling anyone.

The worst part is I didn't put in for Wyoming becuase I was sure this year was the year. Owe well that's life in Utah for ya. a six point behind every tree and no tag in hand.

Good luck to you losers :) that drew.
 
Got a 280.00 cc hit today,Hmmmmmmmmmm CWMU ELK 1 tag givin' out--
--it can't be true.It's for the area around where rutnbuck killed his stinky old monster last year.hope there are a few younger more palletable bulls in the area.:RIMROCK

My dads Credit card says he drew San Jaun Elk. We are excited. Should be a good hunt. I hope they get some rain down there.

I hear you. There isn't much you can do besides look at pictures of guys holding monster racks in their hands. I wouldn't be too disappointed for not putting in for wyoming. Last year was the worst year I've seen in a long time. NO animals anywhere besides their limited hunts as well. Guess I'll see you in South Dakota or somewhere hunting birds this fall. hahahaha
 
They have started to send out notifications by e-mail, I've only got my 13 year olds sons results back so far!!No cwmu tag for him!! Oh-well hopefully next years draw!! We'll have a great time this year hunting together anyway!!!And hopefully we can find something for him to get a shot at!! And besides that there is always the antlerless hunts to try for!! Good luck to all!!!
