    Who else has trouble with the DEC online lic purchase?

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    I have bought my licenses online since they turned on the system.

    This is the first year I've had any problems....

    Went to logon shortly after Aug 1st, and the system wouldn't accept my logon, so I ended up calling the toll-free number to get things reset (quick and easy, and was logged into the system before hanging up the phone).   Agent on the line said as long as you're on the phone, she could go ahead and do my order - so we did.   First time around, she said I was selected for 2 DMP's for 8J.    She entered my credit card #, and said "Hmm that's weird, it kicked me out of the system."

    She got logged back in and it didn't show that my transaction went through, so she did it again - said she did the same tags / privileges and this time the credit card went through.   

    Got 2 separate email receipts -  1 showing 2 DMPs, the 2nd showing 1.   So I went on-line and checked, and sure enough only had 1 listed.    Used the "contact us" link to submit a request to have someone contact me.    A day or so later, saw that there were 2 credit card charges, so called the toll-free number.

    After 30-40 minutes on the phone, there was no resolution - "If you would have called back immediately, we could have refunded one of the charges, but now the State has to do it. ".   "Can't help you with the 2nd DMP, it wasn't requested by the agent.".   "We'll contact the state, and someone will contact you... Typical BS from a 3rd party call-center that isn't authorized to do much.

    When my tags came in the mail, there was a (518) area code # listed to contact regarding any licensing issues.   Called it, and got ahold of someone; just by the way he answered the phone and  conducted himself, he wasn't a customer service representative - but wow, within 10 minutes (including transferring me to someone in accounting) he had things straightened out.  A few hours later, the system showed a "DMP Correction Tag #2" and within 2 days, I was refunded the second charge. 

    Who is going out for early doe season?

    Have DMP's for 8J - Unsure if I'll be out or not.  Seeing lots of does with their fawns feeding in fields in the AM and PM ; not sure if they're still nursing, but seems a bit early to harvest a doe.

    Not too worried about processing - if I do get one, most likely it would get broken down pretty quickly  into tenderloins / Backstraps that can be aged in the fridge, and the majority of the remaining into grind for homemade sausage.

    What's the matter @grampy, don't want to see people out there hunting in camo shorts and flip flops? Yeah, me either.

     

    Don't forget the new requirement of a pink or orange hat to complete the ensemble.   :yes:

    If You Butcher Your Own Deer.....

    in Deer Processing

    Posted

    When I was 13 or 14 years old, myself, father and older brother would butcher any deer we could lay hands on...   Anyone from our hunting group, neighbors, we'd even go around and get road kill if it wasn't too messy (it was nice being knowing all the local deputies).     

    As life when on, I've had a part in butchered pigs, cows, bison, and all kinds of game animals / birds / fish. Over the years, I've paid someone else a few times to butcher a deer for me, but it wasn't the norm - usually some odd-ball reason for it.  (like leaving the next day for a 14 day trip for work).  So I'm comfortable with the process and know my way around the different cuts of meat.

    My 23 year old daughter hunts with me - She's a LMT and has a pretty extensive biology background and not at all afraid of field dressing or butchering, so now she helps with the process.

    Are shootings of civilians by cops ever justified in today’s political climate ?

    Better yet lets do a trial run pick any big city that says they dont want police let the city buy out the peoples property  that want to leave say use the old police budget to do this with then, pull any form of law enforcement out police, DA, jails everything, and say u got your wish and see how that works out,,,, I feel that may open some far left eyes that just maybe law and order is needed


    Didn't they try that in Seattle with the CHAZ thing ?

    Seemed to be a successful endeavor.

    My 835 must be 30 years old now.  Got it when they first came out.  It has a camo paint job that is real primitive too.  More turkey and geese have fallen to that gun than I can count. 

    Got the same - camo paint has chipped and scratched, but oh well it's not a show piece.   I've pulled a lot of mud and junk out of it over the years, and it's never failed to function.  Only used 3" shells.

    I LOL'ed at this, then I puked a bit in my mouth thinking about the video.

    Me & my daughters had to explain the video to my wife a few nights ago; she'd never heard of it before.

    Woodpeckers only peck where there is bugs to eat. Likely that you have a infestation drawing the woodpecker

    Just my dos centavos.

    In my neighborhood the wood peckers have done a number on all the ash trees going after the emerald ash borers.  Surprised there were any bugs in the plywood they'd be interested in.
