Florida Alligator Permit----SNAFU again
Here is the email I received this morning from FWC.
What it says is-------we screwed up again. :bash: Dear Alligator Harvest Permit Applicant: We regret to inform you that the alligator hunt application you submitted for Phase I may not have been recorded correctly <http://www.myfwc.com/NEWSROOM/10/sta...rHuntApps1.htm > . While preparing for the Phase I random drawing, FWC staff discovered a problem. Active Outdoors, the third party vendor that hosts the FWCs Total Licensing System, confirmed that there was a programming error on their end that caused hunt period choices in many cases to be recorded incorrectly in the data file. FWC and Active Outdoors staff tried everything they could to restore the original hunt period choices, but was unsuccessful. This means that the original applications we received must be set aside and new applications submitted. Active Outdoors has corrected the problem in their system, and we have re-scheduled the Phase I Alligator Permit Application period to start June 1 at 10:00 AM EDT and go through 11:59 PM EDT June 14. Anyone who submitted an application previously will need to re-submit their application either online at http://www.fl.wildlifelicense.com or at any tax collector's office. In the event you are selected in the random drawing, Active Outdoors has informed us that they will be waiving the fee they would normally add to your transaction when purchasing your awarded permit through the Internet. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this additional application period may cause. As always, thank you for your continued interest in Florida's alligator hunting opportunities.

Here is my reply to FWC
Maybe you guys need a Post Office box in Tallahassee and about 10 good ole boys drinking Miller Lite to run this alligator application process. I bet in one long Friday night we could have 6,000 permits settled.
That would be 600 per man (10 x 600=6,000). We would only allow one beer per 100 permits a man schedules. You'd be looking at 6 beers per man with 10 men (6 x 10=60 beers). I bet that whips the pants off of what those nerds at ACTIVE OUTDOORS charge you and me. I'd be happy to head that up. I like my Miller Lite in a bottle. If we could implement this process for Phase One, I'm sure I could have 50 good ole boys signed up for next year------ you supply the beer. Sincerely, Tom Shepherd Apopka, FL |
