OIL by Friday?

[BPKHunter]

Fingers crossed.

 

[shootem]

I’m optimistic it’ll happen by Friday

 

[Deer]

Crossing my fingers

 

[BradA]

Fingers crossed that I’m one of the few NR that draws a sheep tag

 

[JPickett]

good luck boys. if i draw my deer tag this year ill be in the OIL pool moving forward. then i can have a whole new draw to see "not selected" in next year

 

[BPKHunter]

I’ve always looked at this in the glass half empty way, thinking that OIL draw is a disadvantage as you only get one chance at a YES, while now I see the advantage of having only one potential NO!

Come on SHEEP tag!

 

[JPickett]

yeah. i suppose one kick in the nuts is better then 4. but i keep lining up for um

 

[Elk28]

Double crossing the fingers. Moose for me. Goat for the wife.

Any news?! Does an email usually come out when they are posted?

 

[Deer]

I haven't seen anything yet.

Yes usually you'll get a email before anything else.

 

[sray]

Last year the emails came out on the 13th. Hopefully today is it.

 

[TDoubleYa]

Doesn’t look like today’s the day. One more disappointment-free weekend!

 

[baerman]

There's still a chance....

 

[Iddogguy]

They're probably jumpy after the Chit show, last year. Double checking everything before they release the results!!!!

 

[BPKHunter]

Weekend ain’t over yet!

 

[TDoubleYa]

Weekend ain’t over yet!

Do they ever release them on the weekend?

 

[andrew12gauge]

Do they ever release them on the weekend?

In 2017 I think it was they released them at 7 pm on a Tuesday so I wouldn’t completely rule it out but I think we are waiting until next week

 

[go4steelhd]

I’m thinking they will wait until June 10th this year, to shake things up a bit, then return our money by late August. Interest rates are on the rise

 

[IDbulls]

I guess the “I drew a tag in an area I have never stepped foot in, any pointers” posts will have to wait another few days…

Damn, that’s my favorite time of year

 

[MrDoe]

I had to dispute the charge with my credit card company in August a couple years ago because Idaho wouldn't refund my NR sheep app.

 

[twsnow18]

Might take a while this year. They're trying out a cutting edge new process, they're gonna double check the results before they release them! Last year they had the public proof it, to save on labor costs.

Should have sued for the tag

 

[JPickett]

Just gave me an idea that would increase draw odds and revenue. How about no refunds? See who’s serious about a tag then

 

[MrDoe]

Should have sued for the tag

I made the offer several times to just take a tag, they kept saying their processor was working on it. I finally disputed it and got my refund 8/22/2018.

I bet it would get the odds in double digits anyway on some of the OIL hunts. That is some serious cash to throw out there at 2700 ish dollars I think it was this year. Would be still be worse odds than putting $2700 on black twice, 25 percent odds on that, and then paying for Canada. Even at $1000 a tag but no refund would really be interesting. I bet I spend that on raffles every year anyway. I applied for one of the more "easy" to draw but physical moose units along the MT border this year after about 15 years of trying for SE units, here is hoping .

Where did that come from?

OutdoorWriter isn’t the only person capable of cut/paste off fish and game website. I like checking multiple times a day it reminds me of that famous Jim Carey movie line!

 

[andrew12gauge]

Pretty sad that the state of Nevada is going to run a much more complicated draw in 10 days, not 10 business days, 10 total days, meanwhile IDFG can’t even get us results on the simplest of draws in 16 days

 

[Blank]

And when the only option is to enter by the computer. It's already in there, draw should be in a matter of hours, not weeks!!!

Look at Wyoming elk…NR have to apply in January for a May drawing. Thing is they give a May 19 date for when results will be available. Not this guessing game “by early June” when some years it is as early as May 13 (2021). They want to have trust in their system? Be transparent and consistent. Why does my application show a NR fee in the info part of my application? FnG said they “are aware” of the incorrect fee statement, doesn’t mean my resident application was counted as NR. It doesn’t give me good feelings about the group running this outfit.

Mine shows the nonresident fee too, hadn’t paid any attention to it up to this point, probably how things like 14 extra nonresident tags awarded and taken back happen

 

[sticksender]

Last 7 years - OIL results dates:

5/13/2021 (over-issued to NR)
5/15/2020
5/17/2019
6/08/2018 (new contracted vendor)
5/17/2017
5/17/2016

I also noticed the Nonresident fee and called too make sure I wasn’t in the Nonresident draw pool. They said something about it not being entered in correctly but it wouldn’t have any affect in the draw. I don’t feel good about it either!!!!! You’d think a draw that simple wouldn’t be a **** show every year!!!

IF&G has egg on their face with the way tags are issued. Starting with Nonresident issuance of the deer & elk tags in November to the no confidence in a cleanly run draw for OIL tags. They should do something positive to give everybody confidence in the issuance of tags!!! I also believe they should set a release date that’s 10 days after the last day to apply, and release the results on that date!

 

[andrew12gauge]

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again, with a draw as simple as they have going they need to actually put everybody’s name in a big bucket and hold a live drawing event complete with pancake breakfast/big lunch, they could raise extra money for conservation as a lot of hunters would attend and spend $10-20/plate. An added benefit is everyone would get to see the process and I would have more faith in that than I do their computers. Maine does it with their moose draws or did last I knew. Another benefit to doing it that way is it would cost pennies on the dollar compared to what they are paying to have somebody write a simple random number generator program for them now.

They could have that screwed up in the first 5 minutes!

2 emails from IDFG today, they’re toying with us now boys and girls

 

[LIK2HNT]

Might be an exciting week. Maybe WY elk tomorrow, Nev. by Friday, and Idaho. Can’t wait.

Hoping for my son to draw moose here, and me for a sheep tag in NV, HA! got to have hope

 

[IDbulls]

Look at that…woke up to an email with the Wyoming elk results, one day early. All I got from IDFG was an email asking me to buy super tags…maybe after the moose results

Super tag deadline might be past by the time you get results

 

[Deepcolor]

what a bunch of simp ass bitches! The date for results is June 10, you knew that when you applied. Everyday before that is actually a gift from the IDFG.

Yes, it really doesn’t make a difference if they come out May 13 or June 10. The date, however, has never been June 10. If they want to make it June 10, then draw the line in the sand, don’t release them early. I didn’t mind waiting 4 months to get the “unsuccessful” for Wyoming elk. They had a specific date the draw results would be out. No daily checking. Trophy species include so few tags, it could be done in days. But we get this “results by early June” which is a bit broad. But I agree, not a big deal.

Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed. Or did someone piss in your Wheaties this morning.

Neither.

 

[1BigDeer]

Not Selected for sheep.

 

[backcountryID]

No moose for me this year

 

[heateater]

Nada. Congrats to those that drew.

 

[wweaver79]

No moose again, if it were really bad like 1 in 300 odds I would have drawn it by now...... Nevada is tomm

 

[LIK2HNT]

Just like Christmas, might not get what you wanted this year (nothing for me). But you have to love the excitement and anticipation. Maybe next year.

Don’t forget your appreciation post for the IDFG for getting the results out weeks in advance.

 

[BradA]

Nothing for me as well

 

[andrew12gauge]

No sheep tag, I guess 2023 will by my year

 

[devobrodie]

My son drew his Moose tag in 36a, Now for my sheep tag tomorrow in Nevada!

 

[shootem]

I will show my appreciation if they issue a timely refund. Based on past years it has taken months to get refunded, which is not cool.

 

[USAFDentHunter]

I drew sheep!!! Big Jacks creek. 42-1

 

[utswell]

Very Nice. Those Cali hunts are getting harder to draw.
Unsuccessful for my son on Goat.

[Butts]

Good ol buddy drew 54 moose.

 

[LIK2HNT]

Good ol buddy drew 54 moose.

That will be a great hunt. Some of the toughest NR odds. Been putting for 70 or 54 forever. Keep us posted on his success.

 

[devobrodie]

so did you get it ?

No, but I will be busy helping my son and I did get archery deer in NV unit 101-109, so I can't complain

 

[khunter]

Drew moose in 60A. Be happy to hear from anyone with insights to share as I start formulating plans. DMs if you prefer.

30 sheep for me. Can't wait to start scouting.
