IT'S ON WDFW!!!!!! NO CONFIRMATION EMAIL!!!!!! REDRAW!!!!

[LongBomb]

I only got a goat email. No draw. I think the draw was legit why redraw? The next draw there would be someone else calling for redraw. Now to plan my otc hunts!

[syoungs]

I struck out with 19 points on moose, Goat, Ram And quality elk, ghost point for Bull elk. Sorta numbed I finally drew a multi season elk after 9 years and notta, but I did draw a Kitsap Quality buck tag with 1 point. So all is not lost.

Thats why ghost points make no sense. Cuts draw odds in half

Makes sense to those of us that wouldn't be able to hunt the specific season we want to put in for. There was no chance I could hunt the elk hunts I would hope to draw this year, ghost hunt allowed me to still gain a point, without risking loosing my points by drawing without being able to use the tag

Just emailed the director and licensing division. Absolutely NO email sent to me that drawing was in process or complete or whatever everyone else got. Submitted well before deadline. If I was left out I shall demand a REDRAW!!!!!

Are you for real 

You betcha partner. Just as real as those THREE guys last year that didn’t get submitted properly for spring bear. Resulted in a complete re-draw for the entire state!

Wheres you're proof that someone wasn't submitted properly?  I only got 4 emails and should have had a dozen.  But I drew a tag for a category I received no email...so as previously stated, there is no connection between emails and an invalid draw.

I have absolutely no proof at all and no way to find out proper, and that is a big part of the problem my friend.  The system is absolute crap. Shutouts, lockdowns, no access, disabled features, random emails... The list goes on and on and on. It was supposed to be done and done and done by early this morning from what I had read in the “disclaimer notice” that automatically popped up on the site. Shouldn’t even need a goofy notice like that; obviously posted because they know how screwed up their system is in the  first place and are trying to cover their behinds!

I am very upset with myself that I chose not to be a part of the draw system in this or any other state.  It seems like such an enjoyable experience!   

No idea why states think this is a good idea.  Cluster no matter how you look at it.

I remember when a certain person was whining about the spring bear fiasco

Whining??? Seriously grow up

It was more tongue in cheek than I guess it seemed.

 PS,

Again I  have taken action on this and emailed WDFW as in the OP. This is my only course at this point having no way of knowing what went down as my special permit section is disabled as everyone else’s was and I received no email even though the results are supposed to be in by now (what a backwards workaround the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen IT department needs to be fired).

1 The drawing needs to take place,

2 Results in the system ready to rock ‘n’ roll,

3 then the emails go out to everyone, simple as that.

Every day Jonathan I have nightmares when I go to sleep about the great spring bear draw fiasco/tragedy of 2017.  I am seeing a counselor......

[Jonathan_S]

I received emails for only 2 categories, neither of which I drew. I drew a permit in a category for which I did not receive an email.

I look at the email thing as lose-lose situation the way they had it set up. Should have just sent out one email like tomorrow morning saying, “hey draws were ran” and nothing more

I don't really care redraw or not ,in so hammered right now.I will tell ya wdfw never does anything right better get ready for next year.
Oh ya didn't draw nothing they suck.

If nothing else, maybe the OP will get a response as to what happened today.  Regardless of the intent, maybe a little accountability will be had.  Doubt it, but maybe.

I certainly agree that the rollout was messy...worse than any state I've ever seen, most of which have far higher tag and applicant numbers to deal with.  I think they need to simplify and improve their communications.  Don't do all these emails...post an occasional update to social media, keep everything locked down until the results are published and validated.

I only recieved 1 email. I did actually get drawn for a permit too (hard to believe since it was my first success since this dumb multi category system started) but it was for a category that I did not get a notification email. 

I agree, they should just send one notification email saying the draw is done and you can check results at x date and time.

Anyway, if wdfw is reading ......thanks for finally letting me draw.  ps - I'm still not sorry about all the bad things I said in the past about Dave Ware and his idiotic multi category scheme.
