Messing up a wet dream - MTFWP big 3 draw

[TheGrayRider]

Low-level technical error on the part of some licensing clerk or corruption from and at the top?​

The question needs to be asked, researched, and investigated by the State of Montana’s Inspector General’s Office.

Something ain’t right. Too much money and ego involved in these premium hunts and tags. I am smelling stale fish. Happy hunting, TheGrayRider.

 

[Firedude]

Are these the same people that will be counting fish in coolers and checking licenses next week?

Asking for a friend.

 

[mdhunter]

The only thing worse than a dream getting crushed is getting it crushed twice! This might be the only time I am happy not to draw…

Another priority will be to further improve this agency’s public service, from building relationships between biologists and landowners to improving the experiences that hunters, anglers, and state parks users have with our website and new automated licensing system.

Hey, he upheld his priority. The system is so good that it over allocated licenses. Twice.

I’ll show myself out…

Looks like 5 482 ram tag guys are hurtin’ not “just” two

Correct

 

[BAKPAKR]

I edited the email to include my buddies unit and forwarded to him. It was a good prank.

That was a pretty good prank. I wish I knew someone who drew. You should be watching your back the next time your are around that “friend.”

I feel really bad for those people who are affected. If I were one of them, I would have to send out around 873 texts to friends, family, acquaintances, and anonymous internet people whose cell number I have, telling them to ignore the text about the the tag as FWP was just kidding.

 

[BackofBeyond]

Why in the world haven't they outsourced their draw yet? There are companies that specialize in this for Christ's sake. Kalkomey, for example.

Ya, because outsourcing it has worked soooooooo well in Idaho.

I'm waiting right now to see if I actually have a 680-31 sheep tag. Not happy...

 

[BuzzH]

The director needs to go, the FWP needs a house cleaning, and Montana voters are getting exactly what they deserve.

 

[Bambistew]

What's funny, is there is like 80 sheep codes to check they could back check by hand. Pure incompetence.

 

[rogerthat]

Well now that I have moved past the laughing and outrage stage, I commend them for taking back the permits and not just “giving extras” like they did last year with elk. This was the harder choice but the right one.

 

[BuzzH]

That’s what’s so hard to understand. Those of us who deal in large data input/merges/import/exports know the simple protocols and redundancies that prevent such errors. This is such an easy problem to avoid.

No it's not hard to understand, incompetent leadership breeds incompetence.

Seen it hundreds of times.

 

[406elkaholic]

I could be wrong but it appears they used the 2021 quotas for atleast the sheep

 

[brockel]

Have a friend whose wife drew a 482 sheep tag. Hopefully she’s the lucky one who gets to keep one

 

[Beignet]

Hope all these sheep tag holders kept the receipts for their new Kuiu outfits, mountaineering boots, and expensive optics.

I could have my kids draw names out of a hat and do a better job. This is unacceptable.

Foresaw and explained it all this morning... Government issue scotch tape fell off the same one Idaho used a couple years ago!

Seriously though... I hope Marcus hasn't worn a hole in the carpet worrying if his tag is ok. Pretty sure there's hundreds of guys wearing out floors of there house right now. I hope they at least correct it fast so guys aren't scared all friggin week.

Breaks tags - hopefully they kept the receipts for their air mattresses, new bbq grill and 4-30 racks of bud light er whatever they drink nowadays

I never thought a government agency could top the Biden administration for largest collection of window lickers in one organization but Big Hank, GG and the entire MTFWP organization clearly has them surpassed.

If that guy isn't fired and they don't clean house. Montana will be in an apocalyptic state come 2024.
