This is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard. I feel very bad for those that drew and then were told just kidding. Please contact IDFG and let them know how you feel about it. I know I will be.

Ouch! That would be painful. Sorry if this was you

 

[hearteater]

Not me but I can’t imagine the disappointment of receiving an email like this. It’s ridiculous.

Wow that Sux!

This entire online system is horrible compared to what they had. Truly sorry about the "mix up".

Issue more resident tags to make it 10%(under issue in future years) assuming they only went over by 1nr person in effected apps. After a conversation G&f about a tag next year or something simular, might be time to speak to a lawyer. This is big money and opportunity! Governor tag!

I bet the resident that will get the tag will be happy

That really sucks. I know it won’t make you feel any better but this happened in South Dakota awhile ago too. Just letting you know others have shared that misery.

GF&P error thrills, then disappoints 2,000 hunters

The state Game, Fish & Parks Department erroneously notified about 2,000 hunters on Wednesday that they had drawn one of two once-in-a-lifetime hunting permits for bighorn sheep in the Black

Just heard about this. I’d imagine this will end with these guys getting sheep tags, but maybe next season. Huntin fool has a client that drew, has a receipt for the tag and has paid an outfitter.

I hope you’re right. Only way to make it right is to give them tags next season

Guess I’m an outlier. I don’t think they are owed anything other than an apology.

If the errors were addressed immediately I would agree. Letting the error ride for a week and then just sending an email is not ok in my book.

Happened in WY a handful of years ago too, except with elk. G&F apologized, basically said tough luck, and did not issue the extra tags.

100%

“You owe me the tag next year”

No, no they don’t. It’s a draw and you were not drawn correctly for the tag, period.

Talk about not being able to put yourself in someone else’s shoes. A sheep tag is something most hunters dream of and to tell someone they drew one have them make plans and then send them an email a week later saying we f’ed up deal with it... not cool at all.

Lol I bet you wouldn’t be the outlier if you were one of those hunters

I bet you’re wrong. I guess if they wanted they could throw in a gift card for Black Rifle Coffee for 10 bucks.

In a twisted way, this is funny. Idaho Legislature forces IDFG to use a third party vendor for drawings. It’s been nothing but problems. The third party is now giving away sheep tags to the wrong group.

I have sympathy for the guy, but too bad.
