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?"

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

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.

semantics, you get the point

Yes, I do, but I'm just not sure if such a program would accomplish much? How often do people really draw two deer permits or two deer permits in the same year?

I don't think it's common but it happens. Both a friend of mine and my Dad drew bull tags and cow tags in the same season.
I hunt, therefore I am.... I fish, therefore I lie.

2015 - Drew "Any Moose", "Muzzleloader Cow", "Quality Buck", and "Buck" permits.  Getting two deer permits is possible.  (Only managed to use the moose and buck permits though)

I'll take my chances.  I can't even draw one permit a year.

Happened to me. Two years ago, I drew quality bull and cow tag. I was excited then I realized I can only harvest one animal still. Then I saw it was even worse for me, the cow tag I drew was before the quality bull tag... It would have been all good in the end if I got a bull (archery) but I ate my tag.

Ouch, that hurts. You would have never forgiven yourself for not trying to fill that quality tag though.

With Washington's point system do you earn this years point before the draw or after you are unsuccessful?

Lets say I have currently 6 deer points, would I be applied with 6 points and after I don't draw then I have 7 points? or is the other way around? If I currently have 6 points do I earn another point for applying and will be put in the draw this year with 7 points?

New applicants have zero points so to square them meaningfully they have to add one BEFORE the draw....

They need to hurry up, my fingers are getting wore out looking at the web site to see "NOT SELECTED" again.

didn't draw New Hampshire Moose. Dang!  that was my highlight for the day.  Didn't get Maine moose either and I was really hoping for that one this year.  Come on WA, don't fail me!!!

All of those wasted draw tags ! Wouldn’t it mean a lot to those that have given so much for our freedoms so that we can hunt, the opportunity to make good on one of the tags that ultimately get turned into tag sandwiches ?

Is this something in place or already decided...or this is just something you are proposing for wdfw to consider?

In general, I oppose transfer of tags because it leads to abuses...but if the proposed system is managed by the state, and the donor has no control over the specific recipient, and it is limited to verified disabled veterans I could see some value.  My only concern would be if the program started to try and creep.

You are spot on !! And this is why I propose we model what is already been tried and proven successful by other states
