Yes you did, one free hog hunting trip to beautiful Lake Sonoma.

Dang it LD you turn him on to the "G" Spot.

[bpnclark]

Finally – I feel like I accomplished something in my life. Now I just have to kill something with a spear…

I first would like to thank Jesse for believing in us. For Upper to keep it going when we thought everything was done And to my 2 grade teacher who said I would never amount to anything. Thank you

[jackrabbit]

NOW THAT WE HAVE HONORED AND PLEASED THE GREAT DOMINATOR (PROCTOLOGIST?) OF JHO BY REACHING PAGE 4, MAY THE GAME TAGS AND ALL THE DECEASED GAME PLEASE REST IN PEACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[huntingbret]

LD, thanks but again, I'm going to have to pass.
Jackrabbit, you took the words right out of my mouth, not literally that is. I hope to join this big group and lay a buck to rest next season.

Don't shoot squirrels in trees. Shoot the bark just under their belly.

After rethinking the no tags on antlers and pic policy, it seems the wardens will allow you to not have the tag attached if you're dragging the deer or take the tag off for a pic. Anything more than that I wouldn't push my luck.

So pics with no tags are kelw.

Eric (DFG), is DFG going to weed out tagless buck pics for publication?

The other night I was checking out the brag board at Bass Pro here and I'd say 75% of the buck pics had tags on them. I was guessing it would be lower around 40%.

Hi Jesse- We are trying to-- It would be great if all the amazing pictures taken of game harvested were properly tagged according to their regulations. As discussed here, the 1st priority is to fill out "immediately"; we've talked about only using pictures of tagged animals, but sometimes you can't see the tag or sometimes there are some amazing shots of animals from CA that are not tagged.... therein is our difficulty.. There is no requirement that a photo show the tag that I am aware of... it may be behind in the ear on some animals or a gloved hand may cover it on others...If we have enough source of high quality photos of tagged animal things will be good.

Changing the paper to tyvek type material will likely come with the automated draw system.

enjoyed this thread. Eric

Now I can keep using the same tag for multiple deer. Tnx, Jesse!!!

LOL No doubt! Deer season will never end now!



(Yes I am joking about that... I get a deer the tag will be filled out and validated.)

Eric,
'Automated draw system' meaning online? You probably have been asked this before and I missed it but can you give us a ballpark on when the online app system will be put into service? May? 1-2yrs? 5yrs?

[MULIES4EVER]

Wow. This is the kind of stuff that makes your head spin. I cant believe I actually read most of this.

[snoopdogg]

Whew! Thanks Jesse.

Eric, don't answer this question!!!! Don't do it! LOL "'Automated draw system' meaning online? You probably have been asked this before and I missed it but can you give us a ballpark on when the online app system will be put into service? May? 1-2yrs? 5yrs?"

[spectr17]

Correct me if I'm wrong Eric, but at the last F&G Commission meeting in Upland the DFG employee reported they were on year 12 of the online licensing system and the vender was 1/2 way there. The bombshell was there were no performance bonds or penalties for the contractor if they did not perform. The employee also mentioned a second option of scuttling the current progress/contractor and starting over with another contractor. I about fell out of my chair when I watched the video and saw this.

Bottom line, we are YEARS away from online licensing and someone needs to be held accountable for this nonsense. Whoever gave the green light to a contractor for a project this size with no milestones or performance bonds needs to be fired. That's our money they just pissed away and here we sit, still driving to DFG offices to get our bobcat tags because we don't want to mail in our hunting license.

Unbelievable.

I think when this thread dies it will have to be put in the Hall Of Fame Forum!

[jackrabbit]

Aw, c'mon prohunter! this thread doesn't come anywhere close to the old norcalihunter "I'll skin your deer for free" thread that took more hilarious twists and turns than a one-winged-bat. (Blacktail forum)? All those pages were just hilarious, and I don't think the JHO gods granted it the Hall of Shame/Fame status that it truly deserved -- sure wish I would have saved that one to memory so I could review it like an old movie from time to time (I still might if I can).

This thread is not flesh, so does it have to die?????????????????????

[Hitechhunter]

Yeah, the next time DF&G does a media release on the lack of funds for wardens, let's do one on the money wasted on this program. I wonder who the contractor is related to or who he is paying off at DF&G. Sounds like the GAO or Atty general ought to investigate.

Gov't whines so much about lack of funds at the bottom level (wardens, teachers, cops), yet wastes so much at the top with bloated, incompetent bureaucracy and outright fraud that is it just sickening.

yes-- the online and/or point-of-sale system.


Right now, my understanding is that it is being planned for within 1-2 years ; as pointed out repeatedly on this forum, the Commission has been harsh on Dept for this inability to get it done this past year. I think the message was heard.

I don't know all the details about the contractor performance or requirements, & if I did couldn't share them, but suffice it to say that contracting with the State of California can be a cumbersome process and filled with all kinds of requirements/issues -- google California's State Administrative Manual and the Department of General Services if you get bored !

Eric

[easymoney]

On the topic of computerised systems, CA lags behind all states I hunt in. Some have had this type of POP system in places for 15 years. or more
And, IMHO, jesse has made the main reasons why we don't have this system up and running here in CA pretty clear and wildlifebranch has nailed it from the DFG standpoint, "but suffice it to say that contracting with the State of California can be a cumbersome process and filled with all kinds of requirements/issues ".
This is a perfect example of the dysfunctional process used to do any business in CA government, too much time and money wasted at the legislative levels getting bogged down further by these "requirements/issues".

[hank4elk]

Sacrademento knows how to waste our tax dollars thats for sure! Too many chiefs and chief middle men(persons?) But knowing this state as I do it won't change. Tyvek tags might not need an EIR and vetting proccess. And I'd trust it before I'd trust any internet system CA would come up with.They'd figure out how to empty our bank accounts and max our cards.... but I trust Utah&NM's systems...

[spectr17]

We can't sort out online licensing and the state is about to go belly up but we're still givin illegals free schooling and college tuition.

Some one smack me upside the head with a big tuna and tell me it's just a nightmare and I'll wake up soon.

[MikenSoCo]

4 pages is bogus... Upper and BP just learned how to write more than one sentance Rancho, I wasn't diggin on you with my band-aid comment, I've witnessed your effort. If we put as much as effort into our next hunt as we put into this thread, we just might kill a buck just like Kurt's

And if it dies, do we have to put a tag on it before it goes in the hall of fame? And if we put a tag on it, can we take it off while we transfer it to the hall of fame?

I just got done looking through this thread. It cracks me up on the things we spend our time on...

I always look at it through eyes of the "golden rule". That is, "he who has all the gold, makes the rules". In this case, it is Jesse's site, he can do or make whatever rule he wants....

Although I had to go back and check out the post of my daughter's doe. The tag was in a fishing license holder on the deer's neck and not immediately obvious in the picture. I was getting worried that I might have to post up a different pic where the tag was more obvious.

Sad the the Silicon Valley and the high computer industry we have and we can get a online draw system. Someone is paying someone off. SAD
