washington draw

[bobcat]

If this is true I am all over that !! Been pushing for this for a year now, we want the same legislation that Montana has for Purple Heart recipients and we want to be able to gift duplicate drawn tags to DVA hunters

What is a "duplicate drawn tag?"

[Lapua07]

I would like a legislation for more quality game animals

  agreed!

The draw was postponed to create a program for wounded veteran hunting opportunities required by the federal government. I am told the draw will happen next week, but not sure what day.

Interesting, but how are they "creating" a program in the middle of the draw?  I am a DAV, but not a "wounded" vet (just bad knees, ankles, ears, etc..).  How does the state know who the "wounded vets" are if those guys haven't registered and verified...   Seems like something they would have had to get started before the regs came out in April...

I don’t believe the new program is related to the draw at all. It was/is, however, a system update that took priority over the draw due to it being mandated by the feds and/or state legislature.

Hey guys, I've been texting my inside source.  I finally have the inside scoop:  There will be no special permits this year.

Good luck in the OTC hunt!

I don't understand with all the social media and avenues to communicate that there is now days why the WDFW can't just inform of us of when the draw will happen or if it's delayed.  Other states have set times they do their draw.  Like New Hampshire and Maine for example.  Maine has a full on festival for the Moose drawing.  Granted it is a lot smaller but still, why not just tell us what is happening.  I would of got a lot more work done this week if I knew that the draw was going to happen on a certain day.   
 
now i'm going to go login in and check..............again.......for the 2nd time today.

In Montana if a Non Profit that's soul mission statement is providing healing therapy and camaraderie through outdoors activities (hunting) that non profit fills out an application sponsoring a purple heart awarded DV tags issued without a draw process for speed goat and deer even in draw only areas. and the cost to the non profit is extremely reasonable

Further more they have a program where residents can gift there tag to a qualifying disabled veteran showing service connected disabled status, but they have to meet the minimum percentage disabled requirement

I have been working on trying to get the state of Washington to let those that draw multiple tags of the same species, lets say cow and bull tag and we all know you have to pick which one to hunt. And therefore the other goes unused. I have proposed that hunters that draw several of the same species can gift these to the WDFW to hand back out to the DV hunters through programs like www.outdoorsforourheroes.org or TFO

That's old terminology from the old system.

Okay, but first, we don't draw tags, we draw permits. And second, you CAN use all the permits you draw. You just can't take an animal in more than one of the hunts since you only have one tag.
