1uglydude Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Personally, I think 95% of the hits come the first day, and that any reports of hits after the fact are either 1) the result of the applicant's inability to tell when he or she has a pending charge on their account, so when it officially clears several days later they think they got a new hit; 2) the fact that credit unions and some other financial institutions appear to take up to several days to actually process the online charges; or 3) tags that are eventually reassigned after someone else's card fails and the Department has made the promised effort to contact them. Having now gone through at least a dozen online draw cycles (3 per year), my card has ALWAYS been hit within the first hour or two of the wave of credit card hits. I have instant notification of any activity. Of all those draws (often for more than one species in a single draw), I have never had a hit come after the fact. Always right away. Now someone is going to jump on and say "well my brother had X happen," or "my neighbor had a hit six days later," or "I know it came later for me once," etc....and to that I say see the first paragraph above, and I am willing to bet the farm that one of those three situations applied. 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Big Browns Report post Posted July 10, 2014 I usually get hit the first day, but last year I got a December WT Tag on the 4th day. A friend of mine got his on the 3rd day. I contribute the reason to a possible card rejection from another person and we were next in line for the tag. I really don't know, but that senario makes sense. Good Luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Dog Report post Posted July 10, 2014 1uglydude about summed it up. I've only been putting in for 3 years, and I've always been drawn on the first day, my friends said the same thing that they'd never been drawn besides the first day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigorange Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Yeah...what they said. So far every time I've personally drawn has been a hit on the first day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

willhunt4coues Report post Posted July 10, 2014 Our card always takes a few days to show anything. This is the only card that does this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mbiewer Report post Posted July 10, 2014 i have to agree with big browns... I too agree that the majority is on the first day, but i dont hink its as high as 95. The process is drawn and then cards rejected then moved on. I know on my BofA card, the charges made send an almost immidiate alert that it was used (seen it happen paying bills online or making purchases) But i know it took a few days for my 2012* cow tag to hit. Especially when TJ informed me he got charged saturday morning for his tag. mine came through on like tuesday afternoon. *and yes, i know the process has evolved from two years ago. On a much brighter note.... I got mine. so neener neener.(just kidding).... deer and turkey 2014 here we come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Ugly, this can't be right, they haven't charged me for sheep yet! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Willyhunts2 Report post Posted July 10, 2014 I think big browns is right about the rejected cards. Three years ago my card was charged a week after the first ones appeared. There were a few days of nobody on here getting card hits, so checked my account and bam! Had to be the rejected cards and they were charging the next in line. There's still a chance for everyone like myself, don't give up hope yet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
