Quality Elk Applicants in 2018

Your all out of your minds if you expect a government agency to give correct information.!!!

Nearly every other western state F&G agency can put out draw odds in an accurate and timely manner.  They obviously recognize that such information needs/desires by the public are growing every year...and yet here we have WDFW...the class clowns.

They just don’t care. Another example of how they have little regard for the people paying their salaries.

Wyoming posts their draw reports the same time they post draw results. I don't understand why Washington can't do the same. Makes you wonder if the drawing was even done correctly this year when here it is 7 months after the drawing and the numbers in the draw result summary are so far off.

They could.  They could also fix the problem that allows double or triple booking of their reservation sites.  They could fight to open more fish hatcheries.

In order to do this, one of their staff has to go to their supervisor and say - Hey, we should do XYZ and here is what it will cost in time and money.  With a limited amount of time and money, they are going to focus on what is important and if the answer to "why do this project" is that it will help the hunters or fishermen without a good story about the environment, Orcas, or special interests that have the ear of the governor or Olympia, there simply isn't any priority placed.  Hunters and fishermen are simply not high on the priority list of the department and you could argue that is a problem with the department, a problem with the state government, or a combination.

That's what I did to get toutle bull. Also OIL.
Calculate the odds for each special hunt app and choose those most favorable to you.

WDFW doesn't want you to know the true drawing odds.  If you did you would give up and go out of state like anyone in their right mind should be doing now.

The way they have it now it makes the odds worse...the true drawing odds would be "better".

I heard a rumor that GoHunt was going to have WA odds this year.  If so, that would be an interesting read for sure.

I received an Email UPDATE from WILD THING on Friday 1/18


They are still working with IT to resolve the issue...

They did correct the 2018 spring bear portion of the drawing statistics and were hopeful that now IT could apply that to the rest of the categories.

I don't understand why they don't take it down. All the numbers are WAY off. Why leave bad data up on their website? It makes no sense.

[Ridgerunner]

At least they are working on it, lol.  I agree they need to just take it down till it is accurate.

  You would think someone would proof read it before it even went up...

Because they don't think anyone will actually check it. Better to have some data up and have it be wrong than show no data and actually raise questions about why they aren't doing a simple task.
