***Because the clock on YOUR computer or YOUR watch has nothing to do with when the G&F activates the system on their end! If you are in your account and on the page to select your tag, you need to hit the button as soon as it goes from gray to enabled and then get down on the list to click the number you want as fast as you can and then the same on the unit pick. If you have a slow computer, you are screwed when there aren't many tags left in the unit you want. I have high speed cable and got my two doe antelope tags within a couple seconds of when the system activated. WapitiBob suggests constantly hitting your refresh button so that you are up to speed and ready to hit what you want as soon as it's activated, but I've never had to do that. Something else that a lot of folks don't realize is that once you make your pick that tag is taken off the leftover list and you have 30 minutes to make your purchase. If that isn't done, the tag then goes back on the list when the 30 minutes is up. I read where one guy got a tag 30 some minutes after the 8AM start even though the tags were showing as gone within a minute or two after 8AM. He kept watching and trying and finally lucked out while another guy came on and was ticked because he didn't know the system was set up that way. When you make your pick the screen actually tells you that you have 30 minutes to complete the transaction by paying for it with your CC.
