WDFW Multi Season Elk Error

[snake]

I see.  what would be the harm in just giving the 100 people the Multi season anyway.  is it going to make that big of a difference to the elk herd? what a joke.

if you want to see if you got drawn and still have your tag  look online at the drawing lookup .

then  turn in your points and see if it gets removed.

I sent my original letter back to them for proof.  I just got a letter back saying they are going to award me 2 elk points for multi season elk

If they got the letter but were not drawn they wont be able to purchase the tag?They are out nothing and should be awarded no points.If they planned their hunts around a letter without the tag in hand they are fools. 

That is a bit extreme.  If they got a letter letting them know they won it is quite reasonable that they would make plans based on that letter.  Why should they disbelieve a letter sent to them by WDFW?

I don't think what i said was extreme at all.You and i both know long before this mistake came out whether we drew or not,Knowing that online it said not selected then a letter weeks later saying you drew.How excited should you be and how far would you plan a trip before trying to purchase the tag?Me and most i would say is not far maybe the closest dealer then all plans stop.To many people in the world try to capitalize on mistakes made by others. 

You're assuming everyone checks online.  For a lot of the old timers, that isn't the case.  Hi old timers!

I agree with the general sentiment on capitalizing on others mistakes, but I don't think taking correspondence from WDFW at face value was an error on the part of the hunter or a capitalization of their mistake.  I was mostly taking issue with the "planning around a letter" comment you made, I wasn't arguing they should get points, just that it was reasonable to start planning based on the letter.

Did you actually draw the permit or were you one of the 100 that actually didn't

I just received the letter.

Funny thing is, I received the letter but never applied for the Elk Multi-Season, just Deer

My letter showed up today. Online said selected, haven't tried to buy it yet.

Not sure if I am more concerned with WDFW or the USPS.

A few years ago was sent 2 sets of each tag:  2 deer, 2 elk, 2 bear, 2 cougar....  I did the right thing and brought them into the local WDFW office.  They were really confused and had no idea how the error happened.  I should have gotten 2 points for that!
