Should we be nervous about the special permit results?...This is shaping up to be a rough year for WDFW.
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
Seems the states mistake has put them in a damned if you do damned if you don't situation. Hard to blame them for trying to give a positive solution to those small few who truly wound up effected.The state accidently sends out an elk letter to a successful multi-season deer recipient and there is outrage for them giving a couple points to those who were effected! Yet no-one seems to care when hunters apply for the multi-season tags knowing full well they are not going to purchase once drawn. Sounds to me like the consensus is that intent to screw others = good - mistake and consolatory points = bad. I'm sorry, but I don't get it.The basis of the letter is that approximately 100 successful multi-season deer hunters may have accidently received a letter stating they were successful in the multi-season elk instead of the letter saying they drew multi-season deer. Not everyone who received the May 11 letter did indeed receive the wrong April success letter. That is the reason for needing to send in the April letter as proof to get the points. So the state is not putting 200 points into the system. They are only putting two points into the system for those who received the wrong letter. Sounds to me like most posting on here received the correct April letters. So it appears as though there will be very few points given away.This should minimally effect next years draw. Will most definitely effect the draw far less than those who knowingly set out to screw their fellow hunters by applying for multi-season tags they have no intention of purchasing. Having outrage for one and not the other seems a fools errand to me. And for those who felt the need to call the state when they were in no way effected...what was the point?
You must still have the letter to prove you were one of the 100....., Who in the hell would keep and old rejection letter?If you were one of the real100. the online system would show not selected and you would not have been able to purchase one anyway...why should I be compensated for that?WDFW =
