It also doesn’t help that the Colorado Parks and wildlife didn’t have the mental power between the thousands of employees to reach out to the 6000 hunters that got shafted, ask them to pay for the license with the credit card on file and fix or as they say right their wrong. Instead they chose to not contact the media to being awareness to the hunters and get the problems fixed, they chose to bury in deep under their desks, only walk outside of the buildings under the cover of darkness and pass the incoming calls to voice machines that had no owners out in outer space.

The States concern? They had no concern, they knew they would sell all of the licenses anyway in the leftover draw. They did not care if the rightful buyer didn’t get them, they got sold and that is all they cared about. They just had to stall with red tape and false walls until they got mixed in with all of the other left-over licenses on 8/7/18. They stalled and didn’t come out of their foxholes until after that dreaded day, so they now they could say, “We are sorry (Lie) about your license, but all of the licenses for that GMU are sold out for 2018.”

The leftover sale went out bumbled as much as the original draw by this mislead top heavy with overhead government agency. At 9am mountain time on n8/7/18 the leftover sale began with a lot of hoopla with hunters from home trying to right how they had been wronged by this overpaid lack of knowledge group of self-proclaimed computer experts. Hunters waiting at home at their computer at 9am sharp tried to log into their profile page so they could purchase the license that the CP&W took from them and that they blew off the hunter by telling them, “OH don’t worry the licenses will be in the leftover list you can buy it on lone at 9am.” As their computer churned at home the main data base slowed down enough to provide response times so long that bringing up the hunter’s profile would time out. It provided an error message to the hunter, NO PROFILE AVAILABLE. For the first 20 minut4es this was the outcome from the hunters at home. They definitely didn’t get their license again because it was stealing from them again due to dumbass load calculation by the dumb ass teckies in the Colorado Parks and Wildlife.

A poorly plan, no unlike future years when the draw was done in Kentucky by the A Colorado Parks and wildlife vendor, and the systems connections wen down and stayed down from 9am until 1pm that day. It takes little mental knowledge to know from history that if the load was so heavy when done previously they should error on the side of caution and break the sale into categories as 1-day Antelope for the test, then one day deer and 1-day elk. But then again you must think the way The Colorado Parks and Wildlife does, who cares they will all sell anyway. They have no customer satisfaction guidelines or goals like a real company, they are a government entity protected by their showing if you don’t like what we do, go else where even if we have a monopoly in Colorado

Anyway, time will pass and people will leave the Colorado Parks and Wildlife as they have and the remaining will say it was because of Corey xxxx that the whole thing came about and has gone now so it will never happen again. People will leave but it is unlikely that the right ones will and the direction of the Colorado Parks and wildlife will continue to be squeeze as much revenue as possible out of the hunters. They are the suckers that pay for everything anyway so they must have deep pockets… squeeze… squeeze, and then do them wrong. Chock up another win for the Colorado Parks and Wildlife and another screw job for Colorado resident and non-residents alike.”

Is this true?

More than any 2 western states (excluding Texas). Although Texas fields more than four times the total number of hunters.

It will be very interesting to see how their revenue increases for 2018.

They certainly spent a lot of our money to market for increasing resident license fees over the last several years! They finally got their bill approved and you can bet that residents will continue to see reduced quality and no improvements! With their increases to resident and nonresident fees that will kick in next year, they will definitely take a big jump in revenue.

They are definitely not focused on improving the quality of the hunt anywhere in this state. They are focused on increasing revenue.

Is he saying he drew a tag in the initial draw but his credit card was no good so he lost his tag and his points?

5700 applicants failed to tender payment, and we're sent email to get another opportunity to pay. Not sure how many actually lost their points. If I did, I would make an appeal to the commission asking to have them reinstated.

if it happened to me I would appeal even while acknowledging I was the problem.

CPW agents don't need to hide on this one. The cheaters who filed applications and didn't pay should be prohibited from applying in the future.

I made damn sure my buds all knew about the rule change and that they didn't fork up and "forget" to pay or make sure they had a valid payment method on file.

1-they didn't see the email CPW sent them telling them their card on file didn't work.

2-they didn't have a current email address on file.

3-they didn't have an active card on file with funds available.

4-they didn't question not recieving an emailed receipt prior to the payment deadline.

None of it being CPW's fault.

Everyone should be glad they had a chance at a great re-issue tag. The one's that didn't follow directions or pay for their tag within the very published time period were simply just the ones who never would of applied in the first place without there being a no up front tag fee. I don't feel bad for them. I hope the CPW doesn't give them their points back.

Couldn't agree more. The same crowd that couldn't float the full tag cost for a couple months is now the group of people who can't manage to get their payments made on time.
