WDFW Multi Season Elk Error
« on: May 18, 2016, 09:18:30 PM »
Just recieved a letter from WDFW about how I am one out of 100 people whe incorrectly received a Multiple Season Elk letter instead of a Multiple Season Deer Letter.  But WDFW website said that I got drawn for both deer and elk multi seasons and recieved letters for both deer and elk.  I have already bought my multi season elk tag and put in for eastside tags when I dont even hunt the eastside unless i draw multi elk.  How could they do this to people on the last day of submitting permits.  What a joke! Oh but you will recieve two points for the error.

Just recieved a letter from WDFW

 I doubt that letter would have ever made it to my house, it likely would have been lost somewhere at USPS. :rolleyes:

You already bought the MS elk tag and the letter is saying it is invalid? If I had a tag in hand I'd hunt it!

Wife and both daughters got the same letter about the error.  Originally all three got letters saying they were drawn for multiseason deer and online said the same thing.

I think some got a letter saying multiseason elk and didn't actually draw MS elk.  If you got an elk letter and didn't really draw elk you have to show them the letter and then you get your 2 points.  If you don't have a letter you don't get the points.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

I would think they would not have sold you a m/s elk if you hadn't been drawn and the website was probably accurate if they sold you a tag.
 I also go the letter today, but my  m/s letter said deer, not elk. ( it was correct)
 I did buy my m/s deer tag and got someone else's fishing license in the mail instead of my  m/s deer tag. :( who knows where my tag went, but I called them about it and they say they are fixing it...

The letter I received says that I "MAY" have received an incorrect letter.  Did not say that I did.  Sending them the letter was to prove you were indeed one of the ones who received it.
He asked, Do you ever give a short simple answer?  I replied, "Nope."

Should we be nervous about the special permit results?...This is shaping up to be a rough year for WDFW.

 What's interesting is that WDFW screws up, and their solution is to screw everyone else.

  By giving extra points to those people that actually were involved, it puts EVERYONE ELSE behind.

 Now I'm not saying those of you effected by their mistake should not be compensated, I'm just saying it should not come at the expense of the rest of us, hope that makes sense. :twocents:

I feel the opposite with my one point in sheep and goat WDFW might be giving me a chance! In reality good luck everyone.
