Potential new FWP point SNAFU?

[Beignet]

I’d been under the impression that points weren’t awarded unless you were unsuccessful in the draw and elected to purchase them in the event of being unsuccessful?

Going into this years application for B tags and antelope tags I held 1 elk B point, 0 deer B, 0 antelope, and 0 antelope B points.

Just logged in to see if my MSG points registered and noticed they’d already issued points for B and antelope draws that haven’t happened yet.

Is the application system boogered up? Anyone else have points applied in advance?

Just checked mine. All undrawn permits point totals increased as well.

Hank runs a tight ship. Can’t imagine there would be any mistakes.

Same with ours with pronghorn and elk B

Hank re-assigned the drawings and point system management to the guy who used to empty the ash trays by the front door

Whole licensing system fell apart once Hank stepped away from that division to run the big show.

 

[DFS]

Hell yeah I got some more points. What an unbelievable clown show. Embarrassing really.

 

[WNC2500]

Yep, everything bumped up including speed goats and B

 

[Southern Elk]

Extra points going into the draw!

 

[brockel]

On the other side of it. I have a friend that drew a rifle bull permit first choice in the second go around draw and he still holds his 7 bonus points

What a clusterf#ck Montana is

Wife and I weren’t the lucky recipients of an extra bonus point pre-draw.

No kidding? I thought they’d just handed them out willy-nilly to everyone.

Looks like I might have a shot at the coveted whitetail doe tag I applied for after all!

In all seriousness, curious how they’ll handle this one. They’ve got a few doozies on their hands this year.

We will probably get them in their second go around with them.

Probably issue them to everyone no matter what. Only fair thing to do

I’m gonna ask if I can get 7 elk points while they’re doing these hand outs.

They get their way and there will be no reason to have those points

I’m thinking I better stop by FWP and get my sheep and goat tag printed off before they tell me that was messed up as well…

I’d be on that. Tomorrow first thing. No joke at this point.

Congrats on scoring both those, BTW!

This would be funny except for the fact that all the times FWP screws up and people aren’t even put into the limited entry draw or their points aren’t considered like has happened in the past they didn’t keep hundreds of dollars in nonrefundable fees. I wish the guy who has a very influential hunting platform would help fellow hunters out as his own state bends people over every year.
