Any Idaho Residents get a Re-issued Sheep License?

Just curious if any Idaho residents here got one of the 16 or so retracted Sheep and Mt Goat licenses that were originally issued to non-residents in the fouled-up draw? I'm assuming they were re-issued to next-in-line resident applicants, since they were part of the original 2021 statewide quota.
 
I keep hoping but I would’ve thought we’d have heard something by now. Refunds should be out in the next couple of weeks, I’m guessing some people are going to be surprised when a tag shows up instead of a check
 
I had a buddy that got a call last Thursday, the Farm, Fish and Game said we are going to make your day and gave him a Sheep tag. I am really happy for my friend but honestly what a sh$t show, that should have never happened. They said they were under staffed, guys wait their whole life for a tag like this and the Farmers can’t draw it properly.
 
A guy I know got a call on the opposite end of your friend. For him he had drawn a dream sheep tag only to get a call saying that his tag was being revoked due to their error. That will take the steam out of a guy.
A resident?
 
The total 2021 statewide quota between RMBS and CBHS was 94 licenses. By rule, that means non-residents were limited to, but not guaranteed, a total of 9 licenses (not to exceed 10%). In the first draw, IDFG instead awarded 23 of the 94 statewide sheep licenses to NR's, via email notification of results. Similarly, for Mt Goat, they issued 6 of the 41 statewide licenses to NR's, even though the NR limit was 4 licenses. For a grand total of 16 NR's being awarded sheep/goat licenses which had to be later revoked.

This error would have been immediately visible at the conclusion of the draw, if anyone had taken a quick glance at their own draw-results spread sheet summary. But apparently nobody was looking.
 
I would be absolutely devastated if they called and said yeah you didn't actually draw that sheep tag and we are taking it back.
