Can we circulate some email addresses and contacts at IDFG so that the people can be heard?

This is a draw whether or not anyone/we want to admit it or not

Agreed, but the waiting room functioning was the key to that. The waiting room hasnt been the issue the last several years. Its a quasi-draw if you are able to log in the waiting room. If the site crashed like today and you cant be in the pool thats random, its different.

19303 ahead online, 3455 ahead on the phone, so you're telling me there's a chance!

It is. I don't know why people just don't accept it for what it is. They're all screaming for a general NR draw but we already have one....you're in it now.

What they want is a draw that doesn’t depend on their 2-bit half ass servers crashing. One that doesn’t require you to buy a 200 dollar license and not be able to hunt with your family or friends.

What would be so difficult about a 3 choice draw, that allowed party applications up to 5 people, with a 25-50 dollar application fee?

This is madness.

Usually it is at check out where the problems happened. Who the hell knows what will happen this year. Stay tuned...

And you don’t even get to log in until you’re up to buy. This may turn into a multi day event.

I did not know you could log into the waiting room early before the event. That is handy to know. I logged in a 5 min before 10AM MST and am #7291. Plus the crash. For those of us who just want a deer tag, it long wait. Must be a better way.
one could attempt to log in as I did... but got kicked out repeatedly.

It is Idaho... someone probably just forgot to leave a light on in the pump house and now everything is froze up LOL
Hey now, the hamster that powers that light needs a break every once in a while.

Maybe we should all donate to a conservation organization that recruits new hunters, so that there could be more advocates to improve the system that wasn’t designed for amount of hunters currently seeking to utilize the resource?

On a higher note this goes to what the hell are game and fish departments doing with the money they’re given? The people that keep their lights on get the worst customer experience imaginable. How is no one there thinking maybe we should try something different? What do they spend money on: butterfly reintroductions or yellow throated warbler counts?

Accountability is all but gone when it comes to government mismanagement of public resources. It’s infuriating that our tax dollars pay for this crap.
