Opening Day of Pheasant Season Did Not Happen

I got screwed by the Connecticut DEP. I paid for my pheasant tags on September 10, but I did not receive my tags before opening day this past Saturday. As a result, I missed out.


I called the DEP to alleviate this situation. I have to drive to a DEP office and sign an affidavit stating that I did not receive my tags. In other words, I have to take my time and money to drive to the DEP office due to their incompetence. This is a typical nanny-state run bureaucracy -- Incompetent and filled with way to many rules and regulations, run by people that don’t care.

What should happen is I should get my tags, plus a refund for the hunting day missed, and compensation for my time an effort. Of course, none of that will happen.

Your tax (and tag) money at work.
