Now that we are now waiting for the permit results to be posted

[mburrows]

WA is one of the quickest in posting results.  Even Montana takes 6+ weeks.

It should be done earlier in the year.  Alaska for example.  Apply in December, results in February

  WY elk is January. ID is ridiculous with their deadline and results some of the controlled hunts start in August thanks a lot for the time to plan. I have to submit vacation before the idaho deadline for August hunts in case I draw.

Sadly, WY will be the worst starting next year. A Jan deadline to submit and results won't be out until late June. Worst of both worlds.

The Wyoming elk deadline will be May 31 next year.

No, don't think so.

"They've posted the proposed draw changes on their "get involved" link. What they have done is leave the Elk app period as it was; Jan 1 - Jan 31, moved the change date to May 8, and moved the results date to coincide with the Deer/Antelope draw.
So, if you wanted an early app date, it's still there, you just won't be getting results until June.

I was told WYOGA convinced them to just move the results date. Seems like a good way to make sure your clients don't apply to other states."

Oh okay, thanks for that. I hadn't seen any discussion of the specifics. I thought they were doing away with the January 31 deadline and I just assumed it was going to be the same as the deer and antelope deadline.

I'm glad they kept the earlier date. But it will sure make it hard to plan a possible Wyoming elk hunt around other hunts a guy might draw in other states. Helps to keep draw odds from getting much worse though. So there is that.

Not to thread jack but I am confused why they would keep earlier application period but move results back. The whole reason I liked the early dates was because the results would be out before other app dates and thus you could adjust plans based on what you drew...

They don’t set tag numbers until after. Later results makes it easier to set tag numbers after winter bio counts.

I think I recall reading that anyways

It's always been that way. Non residents apply for tags in January, not even knowing if those tags they applied for will actually exist. That was the issue. Now they're going to allow applicants to modify or withdraw their application up until May 8th. The only reason for keeping the January 31 deadline is because that's what the outfitters wanted.

Washington draw must be started and on-going.  I checked my status and the hunting reporting icon is gone this morning.  It was there yesterday.  Some used to look at that to check the "back door".  So something is ongoing.

[Timberstalker]

Something is happening, dvolmer!!!!!!!

[bigfish51]

Check your "active license" tab.  See what you hold.  I show all the stuff that I bought back in April and now it shows a 2019 quality deer tag (effective date of 6/15/2019).  Hope that's right!

[dvolmer]

Showing second deer and QUALITY ELK for me!!!

[Skyvalhunter]

Wake up it's only a dream

[dvolmer]

Wake up it's only a dream

Probably so!!!!!  Or maybe better said "nightmare"
If it is true, its a Modern rifle Dayton or Observatory quality elk tag for me!

[HoofsandWings]

Whenever the draw is posted, all hell is going to break out. My guess is late afternoon. Which day, I don't know. Server probably will crash or become so slow, grass grows faster.
