WDFW Multi Season Elk Error

[X-Force]

I got the same letter. What a joke... so WDFW screws up and dumps more points into a high demand permit screwing over everyone else not "blessed" with their screwup.

If you already bought the multi season elk tag- keep it!

Yeah, and send in your letter for your two points

I have both elk and deer letters, website said that I got drawn for deer and elk, and multi elk tag in hand.  Hopefully WDFW made this error!

So I got the letter too. It was dated may 11. I bought the ms elk tag on may 14 so you would think that I wouldn't be able to buy it after they dated the letter. I bought it on line so I should get it tomorrow or the next day. If I don't i will be demanding a refund on the $500+ that I have spent to hunt this state and will never hunt it again

Wife deer both deer and elk. Purchased the multi elk a few weeks back. Today received the letter regarding the elk. Called wdfw and the lady said it was a mistake. If you received the letter but the system allowed you to purchase the tag you did draw it and are good to go She said and I quote " trust the system"!

Amen!!

I drew both it said online so I went and bought my ms elk permit well before I received any letter. Later received both deer and elk letters, and today the letter about the mistake. I called and the lady told me that 110 people got the elk letter instead of the deer letter by accident. They don't know who those people were, so they sent the letter to everyone why may have been affected. She said if you were able to purchase the tag from a vendor, you are good to go. If you weren't, you were one of the people who shouldn't have gotten the selected letter.

 I see two possibilities here


 A: WDFW sent out 100 letters saying people were selected for MS elk when they actually were not.  The people who received the letters were not selected in the system, WDFW website shows "Not-selected" and they were unable to purchase the MS elk tag.


 B:  WDFW selected 100 extra people for MS elk in the system, WDFW website shows "selected", and these people were able to purchase a MS elk tag. and apply for permits.  Now WDFW wants to revoke these tags. 



Now for the fun part:
The letters they send out saying you are selected for Multi-Season are generic and have no name or wild ID.   In the case of option A anyone who was not selected for MS elk should be able to mail in a letter (or copy of the letter) and claim their 2 points.  Unless WDFW really has their ducks in a row and knows exactly who they mailed what letter to.     Can someone who was selected for MS elk please scan and Email me their letter?

Option A it is,  And WDFW has no clue.    I really need a copy of the "Selected" letter.

Wouldn't a better option be to just admit there mistake without screwing everyone else by giving points away
Or at the very least put those people on a list as the first people that can purchase left over tags

It would work for deer, but for elk there is no guarantee there will be 100 permits left over.

I think it means special permit results will be out May 20th!

Who needs to guarantee anything, it was a mistake. It happens, especially in this WDFW. 2 wrongs don't make a right
I guarantee if they give points away for THEIR F-up ALOT of peoples odds just got worse for next year
