Question about White Pass Outfitters

[BULLBLASTER]

I'd be a little PO'd at the WDFW for giving out my info. I do not like that at all.. I'd call WDFW and give them a piece of my mind. I'm on the do not call list and subscribe to have all junk mailed stopped.

You do realize all of that info is available through a public records request right?

WY, NV, and OR (probably more) all give out information also.  I read somewhere that it is public record.

FYI - It's public info, you can apply for this type info in most any state.

Might even get a discounted rate if he's trying to get his name out there.

I have tried contacting him for my tag for a drop camp in packwood. Is their any suggestions of a packer to either haul out an elk or drop camp me in packwood 516. Can someone put his contact info up some can try to call him

[270Shooter]

No info on the guy but I saw the truck parked at the bowling alley in yakima a little bit ago. I was also confused about the whitetails.

My guess is that he does not have a permit to operate in that area.

I know someone who guides and does quite well for his clients in that unit. Reasonable prices too
if interested feel free to pm me

They're also advertising in the "sporting" section of Yakima Craigslist.

Freedom of info act.

We got all kinds of outfitter mail when my Dad would draw in Wyoming. I think its normal.

weird they can access your info, I think he is legit he just has never been a packer or guide before.

It's probably done under a FOIA request 

It's not a FOIA request inasmuch I suspect the DFW sells the list as part of a marketing buy. I don't know this for sure, but this approach is used by magazines to email all for direct marketing access to those people who drew special tags, etc.

Simple, effective measure but DFW can get in hot water if they're supplying these lists without "opt-in/out" selections or if they've not complied with proper notification of members.

Can't quote any USC here but I'm pretty doubtful of a State Department selling personally identifiable information.

Instead of everybody throwing out answers of "how they think it goes" why doesnt someone just call the game department and ask them. Dang, what an idea. Or you can just keep arguing about it for 10 pages
