WY credit card survey

[AT Hiker]

Did anyone else receive it? Personally I?d rather not have to pay any extra to use my card so I voted for the choice of hitting our cards IF we draw (I guess like AZ).

If that passes I wonder if more people will apply and hurt odds? I also like earning points on my card, so that?s a nice perk.

I received it as well. Just took a couple of minutes.

Nothing here.

Nothing for me either.

I found out that when Utah went to post pay that the number of applications jumped a lot which only added to point creep.

Arizona is a little bit different for non residents just because you have to purchase a $150 hunting license to apply in the draw. That $150 knocks out a lot of people. Utah also requires a $60 hunting license but if you do it right you can use that license for 2 years and you don't have to have a valid license to go hunting once you have your tag in hand. Arizona you need that hunting license. So if the season starts on December 1 and your license expires on 11/31 you need to buy a new one.

The basis for the survey...
Jean starts at about the 27: minute mark with discussion going to the 2: hour mark. Worth a listen.

if you have ever used your credit card online ,it HAS been hacked and your identity is stolen. just a matter of time before it is used.

Not just limited to online. I had 5 fraud charges on CC's last year alone! It's getting to be a joke. Some of these were by supposedly legit companies who just overcharge because there is no attempted theft penalties for them to face. One was a Toyota dealer who claimed it was a misunderstanding. Ya right. I had to sue them. That's their story and they are sticking to it. No penalty for them to try getting away with it.

If we can apply for the grizzly tag and I luck up and draw, I promise you I will tell my wife that $6,000 charge was a fraud...[emoji14]

Voted to keep it the same- pay when I apply. I would hate to see applicant numbers go up any higher.

I received the survey. Easy and quick to complete. Its amazing how much they are paying in credit card fees every year.

I got the survey and did it.thank you Wyoming for considering what a non-res has to say about your system.

As a first time user of the WY system, and a nonresident as well, I found the draw application process straightforward and very accommodating.

My stepfather decided he wanted to hunt WY with me, after I had already submitted my choices. One email to WY Game & Fish, and one return call from them, and suddenly we were a group/party. Easy.

I completed mine yesterday. I had to take a test on preference points also, I guess so they could see if the input came from a knowledgeable source.

I voted keep the time of payment the same, since I'd hate to see even more point creep by not requiring fees up front. I also voted to eliminate pp purchases at the time of application and require them to be purchased later, as this is apparently causing extra work for G&F and I always buy mine in the summer anyway.

 

[HuskyMusky]

took it as well.

hopefully good will come of it.

I think 1 deadline for applications and bonus points would be ideal, multiple states, multiple deadlines, is getting more annoying with time.

I think they may have to go to a must purchase hunting license to apply system, like UT and AZ.

 

[Big Chief J]

I voted to pay the full fee up front.

 

[ithunter]

Didnt Colorado make this change for this year...should be interesting.

 

[buckbull]

I received the survey yesterday. They must be staging how they release the survey.

I don't see the pay now or deferred payment if drawn is going to mess with preference point limited entry draw. I think the huge impact may be in the random draw. Right now, you have to pay the whole tag fee up front to be in the random draw. If you can enter the draw without much skin in the game .... well it will turn the random draw odds to complete chit.

 

[minn elk chaser]

I did survey and chose the pay when you draw the tag option. Arizona does that....

Arizona has a way to regulate hunters, it is by requiring the applicant to purchase a hunting license before they even put in for the draw. The prospect of paying $150 for a hunting license and then not drawing a tag defers a lot of applicants.

When Utah went to post pay the number of applications went up and I am willing to bet that when Colorado looks at it after this year that the number of applications will be up as well.

The more applicants for a given amount of tags is going to affect the preference or bonus point systems that states use. Perhaps not right now or for those who are already in the system for a couple of animals but down the road it will affect the outcome of the tags that are drawn.
