Reissue list bull crap

[fuzzyvelvet]

So has anyone else had this experience? I was on the site right at 11am this morning and was going after 1 of 4 of the same tag. I couldn't even get it added to my cart let alone try to get to checkout and purchase it. How can this be? There is no way someone had all 4 of those tags added to their cart and already checked out before I could even add it to my cart. What gives? Seems like it isn't even possible to get a tag on the reissue list.

There are lots of people trying for those tags as well as their hired guns. Many of them have very fast internet speeds.

The system does work. I got my buddy a great elk tag today. It didn't hit the list until 11:03 though.

Hope you have better luck next week.

Once someone gets it in their cart, it holds it just for them unless they don’t check out within so many minutes. So if it’s is someone else’s cart it won’t let you grab it. That is a change from previous years.

Well that’s good to know. How long before the system puts it back if they don’t check out?

From the first “leftover sale”

After purchasing begins at 9 a.m., when you enter a hunt code and confirm it, that hunt code is “held” for you in the cart for 15 minutes or until you process the transaction, whichever comes first.

This was from the first leftover sale. I assume the 15 min still applies.

Picked up a first season elk tag today so I can hunt with some friends.
Better than setting around the house!

Oh just tell me and get the pain over quickly...

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

They had a glitch and dumped a bunch of re-issue tags last night at 9:30

Of course they did; just par for the course on how reissues have gone this year. What a joke.

Yeah kind of crap for two reasons, one the list on Tuesday was super small so they obviously held back tags for some reason and two I called and they are honoring the sales that got through before they disabled purchases.

So one more chance to get something now gone. Do you know how long they allowed them to go through? Were there some good/great tags?

I don't know how long it was open. When I called the Denver office the girl thought it was open for fifteen to twenty minutes. Someone on rokslide thought they had a screenshot of the tags but I haven't seen it yet.

I have a screenshot of the antelope tags, there was a 2/201 rifle tag I went for for a buddy but they shut down purchases already. Multiple Gunnison deer tags as well as some other misc. decent stuff.

Not sure how the laws regarding public information works but if you asked CPW for the hunt codes inadvertently posted and which ones were sold during this incident would they be required to tell you?

I suspect FOIA says yes.

 

[Bluehair]

Any FOIA request I was involved in involved lawyers. By the time it worked it’s way through the AG’s office, you will marvel at your legal bills.

Or you could use the money to go hunting somewhere.

 

[ColoradoOak]

For a Colorado state agency it's a CORA (Colorado Open Records Act) request. They are simple to draft, just like a FOIA for federal agencies. I've done both. I'm not going to do one for this, but if anyone wishes to do so, it's a simple process.

*Edited to say that the state agency can charge you for the time it takes to produce responsive records, so it might cost you a bit.

 

[ORIONTHEHUNTER]

I'm more curious why all those tags weren't on Tuesdays list, especially the antelope tags since the season starts tomorrow.

 

[theshineing]

Here are some. I watched it live. It was like 20 minutes. They kept hitting the list.

Evidently most of the good ones got gobbled up.
