CH tags

I think everybody knows how I feel about IDFG and the way they have run controlled hunts this year. Another stupid decision pandering to those too lazy to take care of anything prior to the deadline.
 
If you read the IDFG news release it was due to the fact that the little cards mailed out informing of your success in drawing weren't all mailed out in time. Stupid little thing as I don't know anyone who learns of their success by those cards, but since there may be one person out there, they covered their asses and extended the pick up date. Not a lot of public confidence in the draw system after this years series of issues.
 
True Corey but they should at a minimum meet the deadlines pushed onto themselves and published in the book.

I am starting to wonder if there is some inside political bull chit going on of which is standard in any political office.

I got mine two weeks ago. Had my tags purchased two weeks before that. Seems like a waste mailing them out

Totally agree
 
Of course most of the tags that got printed came out blank and have to be reissued anyway. Seems like somebody really messed up on those
 
I am wondering what is going on in that office this year. I have heard that they are no longer using the hired vendor and took everything back in house. They have messed up just about everything possible so far, which is not typical.

1) Printed tags, delay on turkey and bear results,
2) delay results (from normal release dates) on trophy species,
3) delay results (from normal release dates) deer/elk/antelope,
4) delay in refunds,
5) delay in notifying people of successful draws,
6) extension to pick up controlled tags,
7) delay of second chance,
8) and now a really late time frame to pick up second chance tags and purchase left over tags.

9)Extended application period for deer/elk/antelope to pander to procrastinators.
 
This year has been a ##### show.

We don't expect things to go perfect. They mess up 1, 2 or even 3 things, no worries.

They mess up 9 things, as baerman mentioned above, that's just unprofessional. Especially when we have many other states running it smoothly.
 
They don't even have the list of tags for the second chance drawing out yet. Hoping today since the application period is supposed to start tomorrow.
 
The message that posted on the website said the 2nd chance application period would be August 10 through August 16. It also said they would be accepting mail-in applications but those would have to be post-marked by August 16. I assume best-practice is to give minimum 5 business days to be assured that all mail-in applications are received. Tack on a day for inputting those. Two days for the drawing. Two days for computer input and web announcements, and I predict the second chance results will be announced on August 29.
 
Another ##### show from the Idaho Fish & NO Game Idiots. I called yesterday & they said the results would be posted by the 10th !!! HA HA
 
Edit on the issues observed by IDFG so far 2018
1) Printed tags,
2) delay on turkey and bear results,
3) delay results (from normal release dates) on trophy species,
4) delay results (from normal release dates) deer/elk/antelope,
5) delay in refunds,
6) delay in notifying people of successful draws,
7) extension to pick up controlled tags,
8) delay of second chance,
9) and now a really late time frame to pick up second chance tags and purchase left over tags.

Hey they got them up today on the 9th
 
They say the results for this draw will be out on the 24th. Besides having more tags, the first draw shouldn't be much more complicated than these second chance tags. How in the world can you do a week turn-around on one and then take over a month with the other? Doesn't make a lot of sense...
