I think it's about the time I got the most cash shipped out. Anyone else figure what will be refunded earliest pending no luck? WY bison, CO sheep, NM elk, CO elk/deer/lope..........? I think over $6K out this year.
Refunds
- Thread starter Zim
- Start date
Odds are all below 5% except NM elk so I am really not concerned about that. Also anything in CO I could return.
I really just want my cash back.
Just submitted my NV apps tonight. Thought of waiting for NM results as they may overlap, but decided I did not want to go down to the wire.

We have two of us in the draws. Often this time of year I have a panic attack when I see my bank account and credit card balance.

I have a few bucks out myself. The refunds/draw results, can never come back fast enough. Too bad every state can't have the drawing within a couple weeks of their application deadline.

I know they want to keep our money as long as possible, but honestly would it be that difficult to have; a deadline, then 1 week later results posted, then another week later refunds in the mail?

Why don't you guys submit online?
You buy the license and you don't get charged for the tag unless you draw it.

To do this the deadline in most of the states for deer, elk & antelope would be a lot later. When they post all the info (online or in booklets) they have not firmed up the number of tags they plan on selling. I'm betting they do know the number of sheep, goat & moose tags they want to sell. They really do want to keep all our $$$ for as long as they can, even at the low interest rates we get today, its a chunk of change.
What state does it like this? Wyoming has about a grand of my money, since late Feb I think. I applied online.

Idaho even gives you a couple weeks to buy the tag if you draw and if you dont buy it the tag goes into the 2nd drawing. The downside to this type of system is you have to buy a non refundable hunting license and pay app fees even if you just want points. Nevada cost me $230, Idaho will be about $185 I think and none of it is refundable.

I'm looking for Ideas on how to rat hole that money for applications each year. I don't like having a balance on my Credit card, and paying interest on those low odds tag fees. I've managed to whittle down the balance since the application period, and I would ideally charge the card and pay it off before the next statement. Then the refund would go back into the cash reserve...
At one time I figured $9k could be outstanding if I applied for all my dream hunts.
CD's?
as cash in a brokerage account?

This is something I'm interested in as well. I'm I basically the same situation. Assuming I don't draw in WY, the cash would be mine because the card I charged it to will have a zero balance. Now....I could spend it, don't get me wrong. But it sure would be nice to put it in a "kitty purse" somewhere for future aps.
