I just found Oowel in the pumpkin Patch but did not get the Oowel Finder Achievement. Does anyone know if that was only for last year, or should I file a ticket.

Oowel was the new minion in 2009, it's now.

There's a new special minion each year, and the achievement for finding that minion is only available the first year the minion is out. So the achievements for Kawl, Slivyne, and Oowel are now retired, and if you don't find this year's minion (Eater) by the time the patch closes, then you'll miss out on that achievement, too.

That's what I thought but I wanted to double check. Thanks so much to both of you. To bad it Isn't for whenever you manage to find him. Oh well. On to search for this years.
