I got drawn for multi deer season and I bought the deer tag on line and it wasn't sent.
is the screw up only for elk?

This sounds like something entirely different. Like your mail got lost, or stolen. Or yes, it could be that it wasn't mailed.

I would suggest calling the WDFW licensing division on Monday. 360-902-2464

Was this the year they were switching over from Outdoor Central to another contractor?

I don't think they switched, at least that's the impression I got from a Chelsea who called me from wdfw about all the errors this year. I think they should give everyone 4 points cause their so incompetent!!

Lol, letter? What letter? 😁

But, I'm just a looser not selected for anything as of yet.

WDFW is in the process of bidding the licensing software program right now.  There was a request for proposals out just a few weeks ago.

I think Outdoor Central does a good job, both here and in Idaho.  But I also think a complete re-write of the program is necessary.  This thing about first buying a special permits application, and then submitting the same application, is an obvious tip-off to a system add on at some point in the past.

Don't you have to purchase the M/S tag first then  put in for multiple weapon special permits?
I would be disappointed if I had thought I was drawn and then not being able to buy the tag that  would have pissed me off... but I knew per the computer that I hadn't been selected.
So I wouldn't have spent any money  on special permits because I hadn't  actually gotten my m/s elk.

If you got the tag hunt every weapon, say you never received a letter about the mistake. It will hold up in court every time!

You wouldn't have goten the tag  because the letter of congrats was mailed to the wrong people,  in the computer system it had it correct ( drawn or not draw) they wouldn't have sold you the tag if the computer said you were not drawn.

I received this letter also. However I never got a letter saying I was drawn. If the website says you were drawn, then you were drawn. They aren't taking that away. It was just a mixup with letters being sent out.
