Some interesting reading:

http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fw/wildlife/hunting/resident/leh.html#Statistics

If last years stats mean anything, the draw date won't make any difference for 2503 applications that weren't entered in the draw. It really makes me think there is a reason that some folks complain of never getting drawn, either incorrectly completed application cards, or maybe those numbers include cards received after the deadline date/time.

I'm going with June 27th, 11:46 AM.

June 30th, 9:01 AM. I think it'll be early; they're tossing out incorrectly filled-out or illegible cards instead of trying to contact applicants to get the missing information this year. This will be the first year they do that. Previously, it took five employees and a ton of extra time to make every effort to get every possible application processed. This year, if it's not done right, it's the trash bin.

[Dour]

It saddens me to inform all my fellow hunters this but I call the number in the website and I was informed that there will be no leh this. The reason is because of a software update from Microsoft that took place in the middle of the count. The results were the loss of 15% of the entries so the lady informed me that it will be looked at in the next couple months to decide what will be done and the panel will decide weather to wate until next annual harvest evaluation to figure out if next year will get more draws to compensate this tragic error :/

They can't be that busy, some in the department is updating the hunting reg public comment website (and I have 50 auto generated emails from this morning to prove it!)

having said that I bets it's not out till Monday. Almost always on a Monday except last year when Monday was Canada day so they rolled it to the Tuesday...

Someone should start a petition!

[Jrax]

LEH update..... the new clerk, in training, they hired to do this years LEH called in sick for this week. They will be hiring another clerk and will be in the hiring process over next couple weeks. (Harper cut LEH staffing budgets, one clerk per province to handle LEH). The earliest its now expected out is late july - mid august. ;)

i heard we will be able to send off our Cards next year with Carrier Pigeons,

Well sounds like were moving forward at least! should be quicker next year. Especially since most of us will be sitting on our decks shooting down pigeons with pellet guns close to draw date.

[300win]

I wish probably, like most that the LEH process would go electronic. Fishing licences are much easier, what about doing away with those ridiculous booklets??? In this day and age would help the everyday hunter plan his/her life around booking a hunting trip. IMHO

Grrrrrrrr I guessed 7July 3pm not going to happen today. I think I will call and see what the hold up is.
I thought they were supposed to come out earlier because we had them in earlier, every year they are later, later which is not acceptable.
I feel really bad for guys that have to give in their vacation dates. It seems that MOE employees dont give a shit when they get the results out. Im not buying there excuse's, every year they got a different one.

[BCHunterTV]

Good luck, they aren't answering phones although the website says to call if you have questions..maybe they are hard at work? 😆

BCWF is our voice, maybe they can let us know wtf is going on...

[mikeboehm]

it is total bull shit. why cant we have have to have the cards in by march 31. then the results will be posted and give enough time for everyone to book holidays. it also pisses me off because i have to put in a permit to accompany application in and its area specific if i get a draw

[BlacktailStalker]

Rumour has it one of the employees had a new lab pup in the office and he destroyed several thousand LEH ballots in the mail pile.

The whole LEH entry should be the same time as the early draw, no reason this wouldn't work.

the one good thing about the BC system is the suspense, where else can you put your dollar down and not even know when you will be disappointed or rewarded. IT is all part of the allure. We may bitch but it is fun and gives us the chance to have a guessing contest.
