Can't quote any USC here but I'm pretty doubtful of a State Department selling personally identifiable information.
Welcome to White Pass Outfitters, I'm glad you joined the forum Kent. I'd like to use you sometime for a drop camp! As to the WDFW giving out names and addresses of permit holders- big deal. As others have said, all states do it. The hunters might actually benefit by getting mail from outfitters who operate in the area that they drew. Such as in this case, how else would anyone have known about White Pass Outfitters?
Thanks for the Reply Kent and welcome to the site. Will you be able to pack on the north side of 410 ?

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.Freedom of info act. It's public information. I can call almost any state and get a list of successful applicants "free".

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.I'll bet you a root beer float there's a marketing list being accessed/sold/provided which includes names, addresses and emails of everyone in the state who has a WildID. Then, an exported and filtered list can be provided and absorbed into any email/CRM program for a quick blast email or form letter.There's no other way for snail mail to be targeted in the way described.In Wyoming they actually sell lists of unsuccessful applicants, I've bought the list before as it's a great marketing tool.

Welcome and my only concern is showing successful white tails hunts and advertising for the white pass area? When I seen your ads first appear on yakima Craigslist I first it was possibly a scam. You're marketing for the White Pass area and showing a white tail kill? From the sound of some members you sound like a decent guy and knowledgeable of the area so best of luck and again welcome.

I read somewhere that it is public record.FYI - It's public info, you can apply for this type info in most any state.
