Some lucky person picked up a 4th rifle deer tag for unit 44 this morning. Took 24 points this year! Who was it??
im guessing because all the big bucks are already dead and no point in even trying.Wonder why it was turned in ?
No the bots aren't real. Haven't you heard?I was logged in and ready it took me less than 5 seconds to enter the unit and season and hit confirm. Got the tag is not available message . There is no way someone could have entered their info the went through the next steps of entering the hunter Ed # choosing how to receive the tag and then entering the credit card info that fast.
The system is rigged.......unless it works for us, then it’s on the up and up. Ha haI was logged in and ready it took me less than 5 seconds to enter the unit and season and hit confirm.

That’s what amazes me. Plenty of time before the hunt. Maybe everyone they called was out hunting.To me the bigger question is, Why did none of the 5 next in line not take it?
Someone with 23,24 points or whatever just doesn’t think like the rest of us. That many points will mess with your mind. Or so I can imagine.To me the bigger question is, Why did none of the 5 next in line not take it?
I can't imagine that five different hunters turned down this tag! I hate to be one of those guys, but something just doesn't add up with this.To me the bigger question is, Why did none of the 5 next in line not take it?
that's what I thought so I applied again this year thinking i would be a shoe in since i got the call last year.... Nope didn't draw it again this year and got the call that I was next in line again this year.I believe with the 2021 season dates and being the first 5 called, is pretty much saying they are guaranteed the tag for next year. Still shocked no one pick it up and even more shocked it came through before season.
Hey Founder, what elk tag did your wife pick up?I highly doubt employees are getting any special jumpstart on others. Some who process return might have an idea that something is eventually coming, but I don't believe they know exactly when it'll be posted. There would need to be multiple corrupt people involved and I don't buy it.
Lucky me caught a nice tag the other day. So I'm going hunting in Colorado!!!
Bots ain't got nothin' on my speedy fingers!
we have discussed this before I call bullshit if a CPW employee ends of with a tag worth 25 grand it is felony theft...its not winky winky hey pays to know people or be an insider I was in LE in some form or fashion and for 20 years and if a parallel situation you would be in chains looking at the big house tired of ***** footing around this it stinks of corruptionI've heard from a knowledgeable friend that he knows a CPW guy that has gotten like 3 or 4 primo turned in tags like this one via the leftovers. I'd not say it's "rigged" exactly but they obviously know exactly when the tag is gonna get turned in and they are just sitting with everything cued. I'd call it cheating rather than rigged. Seems like CPW employees should be exempt from these tags as it only takes someone that knows someone to "steal" these tags. I saw the text as well and was out hunting and knew that'd be gone in a couple seconds.
If the tag took 5 or more resident points to draw it goes to next in line. Otherwise it goes to the leftover list.Just a quick question. What’s the “cutoff “ for tags turned in going on the leftover list vs next in line getting a call? Is there a difference between NR/res for turned in tags?
44?My lucky dad has a lucky son who scored lucky dad a sweet tag! Cha Ching!!!!
PM sentNot sure how... but I know for a fact it was a nonresident who picked the tag up.

Something tells me that <slightlysober is getting a kick out of this whole thread.I thought slightly sober got the tag for 44 ?
Exactly! There was a guy that had software to get tags. He was charging $15 per hunt code and an extra $100 if it successfully bought you a tag.You can't beat the bots on the premium tags. You guys are behind the 8 ball.
I know who bought that 44 tag today and hes just an average guy like any of us but hes super good at buying tags off the list. No bots, no inside info just watches the list closely and can blaze through the purchase process seamlessly. Funny to hear all the conspiracy theories tho.
Yeah I’ve transacted enough tags this year, figured I’d let someone else have it.Yep! Would have been tempting to try out my lightening quick fingers if I hadn't just bought a deer tag yesterday!
How long does it take him to purchase a tag all the way through check out from the time it pops up on the list?I talked to him and he informed me that he IS the bot. Haha. Honestly tho you know there is always someone who is extraordinarily good at pretty much any given activity. This is something he is amazing at. He gets some good tags but you gotta keep in mind that he was a couple of days away from getting no tag at all if this one wouldn't have come through so hes a trophy tag hunter. You know you cant snag the amazing tag if you snag a mediocre one first.
I really don’t think a JavaScript snippet could get by the captcha they use. If someone figures out how to trick that captcha, there are probably some super high paying jobs waiting. It’s the same that the big boys use. That’s my opinion.The re-issue licenses don't need to be published on the list yet, in order to be purchased. As someone mentioned above, they're available for sale 4 minutes before the re-issue list document shows them available. Anyone good with javascript coding, who is also very determined to get a license, such as perhaps Smitho's friend above, could conceivably create their own browser extension to fish for whatever specific tags they want, from 9am-4pm MST Tue-Fri. And beat anybody else who is waiting for the list to update. Way too late by then. Actually if you had little else to do, you could even fish for them manually for 7 hours a day on those 4 days each week.
I've not used the system so forgive the ignorance...Actually if you had little else to do, you could even fish for them manually for 7 hours a day on those 4 days each week
Maybe, but based on what I know and have seen and who’s getting lucky, I don’t think anyone has a secret, easy way to grab the best tags.Founder, maybe not, and I sure haven't done it. But as one example of what's available, this plug-in from ecthros/uncaptcha2 claims 91% reliability at defeating Re-Captcha.

So are you guys waiting for the list to pop up or just punching in hunt codes and hoping to get lucky?Yeah I call BS on the whole cheating the system. Anyone that truly understands how tags are added back to the list knows that there is really no big secret. It is a matter luck and try. I know 3 pretty decent tags that people picked up and all were taken by regular shmoos like my self who just randomly tried and landed a tag.
It is just not going to happen and even if a person figures it out they can get what one license???
Maybe you need to spend some time staring at it and looking at the time stamp in the right upper corner and tell me if it refreshes every 5 minutes. I'll wait.....You got had. By the way, the list refreshes every 5 minutes.
maybe it's my system then or something because I will hit refresh constantly and the page and the time stamp only change every 9 minutesIt's every 5 minutes
For any rifle season, that's correct. You have to buy them in-person at a CPW office.My question is once the season starts can we no longer purchase a tag that comes up? I've never been able to get one in my cart.
if the season has already started you have to buy them at CPW office.The list is 4 minutes behind for example it just updated at 10:17 and the list updated to 10:13..........Next update will be at 10:22, then 10:27, then 10:32 and so on. So comparing the list to the clock it would seem it updates every 9 minutes, but real time it's every 5 minutes.
