So I stumbled on something kind of interesting that I would never have known about had I not called the G&F.
I received my rifle tag in the mail earlier this week. It was at this time that something donned no me: I'd never gotten my archery tag. This was odd, as the start of the season obviously had come and gone (luckily I don't do much bow hunting until later in the fall). So I contacted G&F via email and said as much.
Their records showed the tag had been sent on 8/20/18, and the response was to send me an "Affidavit of Fact" that made me declare I had not received my bow tag, and if I did I would send back the extra one they were going to send me. To top it off I needed to get it signed and stamped by a Notary before sending in.
I was confused by this because in parentheses it says "Warden Signature and badge number," which made me think that it wasn't a public notary, but in fact a Game Warden.
So I called G&F. After about a 20-minute hold, a kind lady answered. She told me that I did not need to get a warden, a public notary was fine. But then she said, "well hold on one minute, what was your name?" She then looked up my account.
"Oh, I think I know what happened. This is part of that group we had to reprint."
Apparently, a wad of tags were messed up from the printer and they didn't catch it until right as they were about to send them out. G&F wound up tossing them and got new ones printed. These were mailed out yesterday, so I expect to see it in the mail sometime in the next day or so.
I'm going to hold off jumping through the whole notarized affidavit thing until at least Monday, but thought y'all might like to know just in case someone else is in a similar situation.
