Hear that, they like NR hunters. What bs...
Screw that. You hunt the hell out of that tag, enjoy every minute of it.you guys make me feel bad for getting a tag.
Keep an eye on the returned tag list when it comes out.Managed to grab a DAV general deer tag, which I missed on last year. Did not get an elk tag, and was going to pay full non-res prices, but my top seven zone choices were all gone. I am more fortunate than most with the deer tag it sounds like, and very excited about it! But man oh man did I want that elk tag. Really took for granted those years we always got them without worry.
"Despite anticipating and planning for this high demand..."
it made sense 3 year ago...Panhandle, Lolo A and Lolo B elk tags left just now.
At what point does a Draw make sense, even if it is random? Perhaps just a draw for a spot in line?
Actually if they never would have changed anything, residents would still likely be getting their 2nd bull elk tags....it made sense 3 year ago...
It was still a shit show the last year before they went capped, though it's much worse now. But they also have higher demand now. Either way, it's better to just go draw.Actually if they never would have changed anything, residents would still likely be getting their 2nd bull elk tags....
Simply calling it capped created the chaos
We still have the opportunity to. With all the NR's snatching up the OTC tags, then applying for controlled hunts, then turning back in their OTC tags... creates lots of opportunity for the first come first serve list.residents would still likely be getting their 2nd bull elk tags....
AYAYE!Screw that. You hunt the hell out of that tag, enjoy every minute of it.
No kidding. I used on web browser and dumb luck shined on me.On a positive note. Next year should be even better with everyone learning they can log in with multiple devices to try and get a better number in line.
Curious, Did you log into the waiting room prior to 9:30?No kidding. I used on web browser and dumb luck shined on me.
Hopefully next year they require folks to be logged in to their account and log out anyone trying to add a second session.
I started trying to access the website right aboiut 9:30, not sure if first try was just beofre or after but I was hitting F5 (refresh) over and over again and it did not let me on to the page where I was then validated as "iN" the waiting room waiting for the randomly assigned place in line till maybe 5 minutes before 10 am. I just made it under the wire to then be assigned what was an insanely good place in line.Curious, Did you log into the waiting room prior to 9:30?
I know they assigned numbers based the IP, but not sure how detailed. I would think you would need to get into the waiting room from different networks.
Sadly this would be difficult to track when their system overloads and users panic with refreshes and attempts to try on other devices. The best solution is preventing an overload in the first place. Either increase server capacity, or create a system where not everyone wants to login all at once at a specific time. Maybe spreading out the release of tags throughout a week span and splitting the elk and deer release are possible alternatives if they can't budget for more server capacity. Either way, this was a disaster that gets repeated by too many agencies and companies time and time again.No kidding. I used on web browser and dumb luck shined on me.
Hopefully next year they require folks to be logged in to their account and log out anyone trying to add a second session.
"Despite anticipating and planning for this high demand..."
Thanks for the apology. Here's a suggestion. Seeing as how you planned for something that actually happened and still failed miserably, maybe move to a system where 49,000 people are not trying to log into the network at the same time?
