If the contractor says "I'll be at your house early tomorrow" and you wait around until 4:30 in the afternoon for him to show up, I doubt very many would consider that acceptable.

As a contractor, I'm offended that you would compare us to WDFW.  :chuckle:

Tbar- why do you say the draw team was on here?
There were and have been for several years.  Not sure if that's the best expenditure of our tax dollars but it's a fact.  The team and their fearless leader can chime in at any time but lack the integrity.

Are you claiming there are WDFW employees on the forum who are part of the team of employees who run the draws??

Or is it just someone you dislike for some reason and are casting insults??
WDFWinsider was and talked some about it... and actually provided some interesting insight... but he got stomped on for schtupping his boss and even harassed after he left the department for coming  back on here and talking about the system.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

No, the "draw team" is on here.  Want their real names to call the nrb and ask?
So “on here” means monitoring the forum? Because I thought you meant they were members and posting in the thread or something significant. WDFW has been monitoring this forum for years for multiple reasons.  It’s probably one of the best means they have for heating the voice of the WA hunters.

Don’t post anyone’s names. I’m sure you wouldn’t want yours posted. Same goes for everyone.
As always, you are the protector.  I don't work for the state and not am public employee.  Yes, members of your forum!
I think this discussion is mostly a good one. There have been lots of constructive suggestions and criticisms. If those that work for the department and view this  discussion can sift through all the frustration then we will all be better off for it.

Unfortunatly many folks don't tune out the incessant whining and negativity.  In every controversial discussion on here. There are  always folks on here whom try to say something serious/thoughtful about the situation.

While they’re looking I’m sure they appreciate the hell outta the fact that “we” continuously refer to WDFW personell by using the most racially stereotypical name for an African American female on record...

It’s 2018, they should have this dialed in by now.

You’d think that after thousands of years humanity should have world peace and financial independence, but we haven’t figured that out yet either, so I think WDFW can keep working to get better just like the rest of us.

WARNING

There are some good points being discussed but we all need to remember that name calling is against forum rules. I removed a few posts and ask that everyone please keep it a civil discussion.

THANKS,
Dale

I think we should just have to wait for post cards in the mail, like in the past..
Then we could all get something done other than our undies all bunched up. :tup:

I didn't get the antlerless email but I got the antlerless permit.  Of all the things to complain about I guess that makes the least sense to me  :dunno:

Not a complaint, just answering his question.

It didn't bother me at all, but it was certainly a failure of their system.
There could still be guys out there waiting for an email that the draw was done.  Probably matters to them more than us.
  I'll concede that the lack of emails going out is an oversight but to call it a failure of the draw system is a stretch.  THE DRAW was conducted without issue.  The emails going out or not going out had no ill effect on the DRAW SYSTEM.

I don't even ask to be notified but got 4 emails for categories I don't apply for.  Found another 2 in my spam folder.  The whole email thing is very strange to say the least.

And that’s my point.  They can’t get an email notification right, but we are supposed to believe they get the draw right?  Accountability is always needed, especially when the govt is involved. They make a mistake, we need to know why and how it won’t happen again.

I only received 2 emails out of about 8 categories, I don't believe they will do the email thing anymore.  They said it didn't turn out to be a good idea, maybe they stopped sending them after a while, I don't know.

I seriously haven't talked to my mailman since they went away from the snail mail announcements.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.
