Friday June 16 2017
Realistically now that it's all computerized it should be Monday May 29 OR earlier this morning!!!
It was exactly seven days from the deadline of the spring grizzly when the results were released
How do they let the winners know?
Guess it would depend if the biologists reports are done yet or not. Can't run the draw until they know how many tags they are giving out. I'm assuming that all that would be scheduled to be around the same time as the deadline.
My guess would be JUNE 15-20th.
That is my understanding as well. Computer or hand count, sign-off is required for each draw (hunt code) and if there are any discrepancies it holds up everything else. I don't think having the draw online necessarily speeds things up. It's certainly more efficient, cheaper and they don't need as much man power to count entries and do data entry. It could speed things up marginally if counts were the main source of delays, but I wouldn't expect the draw to happen a day or two after the LEH deadline. There is a heck of a lot more to the process than counting and drawing entries. I would expect late June to mid July.
Who knows? Sometime this summer hopefully, lol.
With a fully computerized system, there is no reason why it couldn't be run seconds after the application process closes, or the last credit card payment goes through. But like others have said, if we have to wait for biologist reports to come in, then we are at the mercy of real people getting their butts in gear. Kinda like those who wait to last moment to get their application in.

June 17th same timing as last year.
Sorry I meant hour wise it was the 27th last year but if its anything like the spring draw we will all be either making plans or cursing our luck within a week or so.
