WDFW!!!!!

They sent me a letter saying the muzzy Margaret guys get an extended season, Dec. 17 to the 31. What a load of BS. We do our hunt restricted to the FS land on the east side and are happy just to fill the damn tag and now they go and give those who didn't fill their tags a shot at the elk in a prime snow window.
I can't believe the crap they pull some times. They should just give us all our points back or something more even than rewarding those that didn't make the best of what was available.

Man, that just sucks big time...

Those that complained the most, were heard I guess... just like making the Margaret a general tag unit in a couple of years..  everyone complained about not being able to shoot a 300 class bull from the truck.   

[Ghost Hunter]

That is just wrong.  Don't agree at all.  After the fact for those willing to HUNT and make a go of it.  Hope they don't screw it up more and make a general tag of it.  Might as well make a general tag in Loowit

The general tag is coming from everything I have heard...  Personally, I think the WDFW is getting some kickbacks from some of the NEW landowners.. so they can sell hunting trips to the high lakes..  but that is my opinion... seems the WDFW will do whatever they can that will give them the biggest dollars.

 :dunno:I don't understand.

[PolarBear]

Yeah, and they wouldn't give us general muzzy elk hunters any more time due to the fact that the entire early season was shut down.

[Chesapeake]

At least for me I got a decent bull. Some tag holders probably got cows or rag horns since the Wednesday late season opener. Some of them will probably get home from camp tomorrow and find the letter having already filled their tag. I'm calling them Monday to give them an ear full. I want my points back. Clearly I'm not getting the same opportunity as the other tag holders.
WDFW changing the rules after the games already over.

Atleast they gave this hunt an extension, which they didn't have to do.

[billythekidrock]

This is not just for the Margaret. It is for any permit hunt that may have had access affected by fire closures. It was supposed to be only the units that had little to no public access.

 

[Chesapeake]

What would they give the mt Adams wilderness guys??? Not like a late December hunt would help them in that unit. What if they filled their tag in the general rifle season.
WDFW should just give the points back.
Rewarding those that didn't work hard enough to be successful just seems so Obama-ish... Guess I should expect that.
This would have been fine had they done it before the hunts started, or at least before the general seasons started  . They knew them tags wouldnt get to hunt before the hunts even started. To pull this crap well after the fact is BS.

[Chesapeake]

Congrats to the guys with tags that get to take advantage!! Good to see someone get a cookie.

[Skyvalhunter]

Same as if a person choose to shoot a buck during the regular season and they had a late permit for say Entiat they are not going to give the points back.

links?

Oh cry me a river! Why do some of you have to complain about every damn thing that does not go your way. Some people did go out on State ground and gave it a solid try for days and still did not fill a tag, I being one of them. I will make a point to rub it in how easy it was to shoot my cow elk from the road come December 17th.

[dscubame]

Good for all those that get this opportunity.  I will not be a hater, screw haters and go have a good hunt!
