GoHunt for Washington is live

[Cervus]

And the special elk hunt draw odds are predictably tiny.

is it worth paying for a GoHunt membership? Specifically for the Washington aspect

[hothand21]

Weird I'm not seeing it advertised on there but I guess it's time to sign up!

[Cervus]

Unless you plan to hunt in another state, I wouldn't recommend buying GoHunt just for researching Washington. You can get much of the same info from WDFW harvest stats and big game regulations without paying the steep membership fee.

On the other hand, if you are already a member, there might be some value in the WA information (I haven't really combed through it yet).

I wouldn't sign up if you are just looking at WA. the odds are terrible everywhere and it won't help much. If you apply for multiple states though it worth it.

$149 seems a bit steep for just WA.  And OR draw odds is free.  So mainly if you wanted to do other states that can't get draw odds information as easily.   Granted I'm not high enough in Quality points yet to care about buying the odds.  Maybe in a few years as I get closer I'd consider the GoHunt.

Do they provide any sort of a schedule to help us organize our hunts or mostly a data gathering site?

Thanks for the feedback above!

I think the odds will be lower than what you think they are.

News flash folks, I'm betting there isnt a quality tag out there with better than 2 or 3 percent draw odds. Most will be under 1%

[Karl Blanchard]

I take that back. If you have max points you have a 26% chance at a cowiche archery bull tag. Well you did until I just posted this

[Gunfire]

Seems like all categories are dismal. Even with 19 points in deer, there are only a handful of units with better than 10% chance of drawing. Those units have terrible harvest rates.


And elk is far worse.


I hope these numbers need some tuning.

Quick glance it looks like they are using the wrong data for 2018.

There was an earlier thread on here that noted how the total applicants in all the hunts/categories was showing huge increases on WDFW website...but then WDFW corrected it...well, appears GoHunt fellas are using that old, incorrect data.

What this means...the odds are all wrong...instead of .0005% chance of drawing many of the premium tags, it should really be .0006%.

This is confirmed.  I definitely wouldn't pay for it for WA odds until are fixed/updated.

$149 a year.

The other thing to remember is these are all based on last years tag allocations.  Some units may have far fewer tags available this year.
