2018 Special Permits: Drawing Results

[BULLBLASTER]

Rather than a witness, why don't they just be transparent with all the public?  There is this secrecy with when the draw is taking place and when a witness is asked to come in that I simply don't understand. 

Put an update in big bold letters right on the website a daily status update...then when the draw is done, post a link to every detail and piece of information out there...what computer, contractor, program was used for the draw...any audits or certifications done...list of all eligible and selected applicants...on and on.

Can anyone explain why that doesn't happen in this day and age?  That would be transparency.

Everything you said here is a great idea except the name part.Because the name of people in the draw doesn't need to be public for any reason.In fact the draw should be off the wild id number and not name at all.  The wild id number of the applicants and the selected ok i can go with that.

I would say the name part is most critical...knowing who ends up with tags ensures no funny business.  If you don't want your name published, don't apply for public resources.

Really,Some of the anti hunting groups would love to have this info.Which group do you belong?Hunters get harassed enough as it is and they don't know who ALL are hunters.At 1 job i had for a short time i had to hide the fact that i hunted just to stay long enough to find another.

All of that info, and more is just a records request away...

First time I have ever been wrong.   

You were right, WDFW just messed it up.

Monumentally large difference between being accessible thru a specific records request process and being the results with full name being publicly displayed and the internet.  Given the terrorist nature of PITA and other anti hunting groups we have every right to not have that information spread publicly.  No different than protecting who has a conceal carry permit..

I thought that through a request was how some outfitters and guides got the names of people that drew and send them info.

Nope,they get their info from forums just like this.
