Peaches Bull Hunt Report

[Band]

I e-mailed WDFW a little over 2 weeks ago to see whether I could get some relief on getting my points back but hadn't heard a peep, so I called a couple days ago and spoke to a guy whose boss makes these kinds of decisions.  I was supposed to get a call back yesterday but haven't received it yet.

But he pointed out page 5 of the regs where it says the medical issue that prevents hunting has to occur before the season begins.  Since I got to hunt one day before the medical issue I'm probably out of luck.  Looks like we'll be waiting several more years before being able to draw again.  And so ends my sad tale.  I don't drink but I feel like I need a drink.

Let me preface this by saying I absolutely hate liars and thieves.  With that being said there should be an exception to the rule in this case and turnabout should be fair play. Simply take a page straight out of WDFW's playbook and “mislead” them into believing you sustained your injury prior to the beginning of your hunt.  They lie to us all the time, so I think only providing the necessary information to them in order to get your points back is a fair trade.

1 point wont make a difference....you will either get lucky again or you wont.

Man that's a tough pill to swallow. At least you have your health.

Yeah, I know, that's not going to make a real difference.  I just hate that this caused my brother to lose all of his points.  Just needed to rant, I guess.  The good news is that by the time I draw this tag again I'll be retired and having the entire season without having to worry about work obligations will make for a great hunt!

Sorry to hear that, but yes your screwed on your 1 point. Last yr I drew the East Wenaha Archery elk tag and was shut out due to the fire and they told me if the I got 1 day of access and it closed back down I would be out all my points no matter what.
