My bonus points got updated today.

The least I have is 2 points every year....hunter ed and loyalty....just like most people here. I can't speak for everyone, but, I think when points are mentioned by people here it is "total points". I never break mine down when discussing points, it's all points added together. So yes, you have two points.

My wife's does not.

Last year cards got hit Feb 28....results posted March 5. BUT, I think troutman could be right. I'm not even convinced they are done hitting cards. We'll see. I take it back. Just looked at last year's CC Hit thread....over after 3 pages. This one seems to be over after 3 also. Still hoping though.

Wife got hit. It's a good thing. After all of this, I can't imagine how disappointed I would have been if we didn't get a tag.

I think they should have went old school and put names in a barrel. Would have been quicker.

If we have learned anything in the last 2 1/2 weeks, it's that their IT dept. is completely incompetent and deadlines mean nothing at this point. They will change them if they have to. Their system is obviously so screwed up that they can't run the draw and/or process cards. Can't get results without either of those two things.

At this point, it's just sad. The incompetence of their IT dept. is ridiculous. It's one thing to screw something up, but to take 2 1/2 weeks to fix it is another. Then to top it off, they give a sorry excuse that a whopping 18k extra apps caused all this. SMH

I thought 5pm was an odd time. Made me think they would do it last night also. They better do it soon, otherwise the bitching is going to start all over again. 🤣🤣🤣

Wow, I thought this topic was dead. Obviously, since the whole draw/CC deadline issue was settled, we moved on to different things to argue about. To put a cap on this, at least for me, I was just curious what others thought when I originally posted. It is a subject that intrigues me. Also, I was trying to figure out what kind of hunts we would put in for. I am not a guy, nor is my family, one to put in for trophy hunts exclusively. I love to hunt elk, whether it be cows, bulls, rifle, bow, muzzleloader, etc. Of course, I want to kill a big bull as much as the next guy. It was different in years past, where I had many family members applying for elk. I was willing to wait and put in for early archery hunts for myself, but I got to go on hunts almost every single year for the last 20 because someone got drawn for some kind of hunt. Well now, my kids are either in school or the military, my dad has passed and my mom has decided since my dad is gone, she no longer has the desire to hunt. So each year, I pick and choose what kind of hunts I am going to apply for, knowing that I don't have many more archery bull hunts left since I am 52 now and with the way the point creep is going. The way things were shaping up this winter as I saw them, I/we decided we would just put in for "meat" hunts this year. Better odds for those of you putting in for early archery hunts!! I could be wrong and it could be a great year, but I will never regret a day chasing elk...no matter what season. I hope to see some pics of monsters from you guys in September. Good luck guys and gals.

My information has not changed, but the last couple times I have logged in, it shows that it has been updated. Friday it said it was updated on 3/5. I will add that mine, and everyone in my family, shows the current licenses, apps, correct points, etc.

I remember them delaying the draw, but honestly can't remember them extending the "Update CC deadline". Anyone else remember it happening? I have seen a lot of people say they "need to" or "have to", but I don't see that happening.

For several draws, they seemed to have figured it out...They hit CC's the morning after the deadline to update CC's, the time between hitting CC's and posting results got shorter. We got spoiled. Then, the whole portal BS happened. People freaked out, I think Game and Fish freaked out. LOL 2 steps forward, one step back. Guessing we will get hits next week. Back to the "good old days".

LMAO....the message is "Quit calling idiots, we will finish when we finish." And....the more you call, the longer we will take.

AKA..."Stop calling us you idiots, we will be done when we are done." LOL
