What’s the point of a deadline if you can still submit a week later with a phone call

Wdfw cant just ignore people that want to change their tag before the deadline

[vandeman17]

What if someone wanted to change tags (before the deadline) and it took until a week after the deadline for wdfw to respond and cancel that tag?

Should the hunter suffer because wdfw is slow ro respond to inquirys for changes?

The what if game. What if it was simple. You waited too long to change your mind and missed the deadline. Next year you won’t make that mistake and everyone sees results a week to 10 days earlier every year

 

I feel like its good on wdfw for accomodating people while still consistently getting results out before they say they are going to.

Not really sure why people expect them to happen instantly when wdfw always shpws they will be done before the end of june. Its just not that big a deal.

The earlier the better for me because I need to make plans, especially for early archery tags. When we find out middle to late june that doesn't leave much time so I personally think its a big deal.

Not trying to argue but just stating how I feel since we all have plenty of time and notice as to when the application deadline is every year

Key word “before” They should help right up to the deadline. Afterwards it should be tough luck. Again the app submission period alone is a month. If that’s not enough time to get your stuff figured out I’m not sure you should apply in the first place. Why would someone wait until even the week before? You know when the deadline is, you know that WDFW is going to be busy that week, you know that this is a bad year for communication due to this virus, and you know how not to be “that guy” by getting your apps done on time. But yet some still fail. I don’t get it and the excuses can be endless when dealing with people who can’t comply with simple directions and deadlines they’ve missed.

We all know draw results are scheduled for the end of june. If you can't handle that maybe don't apply

Simple fact is ZERO states do draws in a day. In fact wA is among the very fastest at draw turn around. There are checks and balances that need to happen. If they didn't and there was a glitch then all you same complainers would be lighting the torches and grabbing the pitchforks.

And come on Adam, 3 months isn't enough time to figure out a hunt? You drawn plenty of tags in the past and I don't remember you not being able to hunt any of them because draws weren't out in time  sounds like some are just looking for something to complain about. If draws taking 3 weeks is your biggest issue then count your blessing.

[Karl Blanchard]

And just to clarify, I'd also LOVE to have draws in a day, but it's not happening anywhere in North America so blasting wdfw, who are some of the most efficient, isn't very fair. I'm max points for deer and oils LabChamp

Lots of employers have PTO submission periods. Often early in the year. Some will even deny PTO requests outside of their submission time frame. Or you may get squeezed out because a coworker already took the time off for their own vaca when your hunt occurs. Time can be of the essence!

Labchamp it’s because some people hunt other states than here and WA takes a back seat to pretty much everything I do. I never screwed up on my app, I bought a archery tag and thought I could apply for a certain tag with it and could not. This was days before the deadline well with all this crap going and no offices open I decided to email them about how to go about switch to a rifle tag. I was not worried about it and really gave 2 s&@$! . Well the deadline passed and 7 days later I get a email saying they canceled my deer tag and I could select which one I want and to contact what choices for the draw and I had until June 2nd. So I’ll go on not being able to not count points in the field , well usually don’t have to when you draw a quality tag and maybe I’ll draw 6th oil or quality tag in WA

Yup I hear ya. Will probably never get drawn but I buy my lotto ticket. Just to clarify my stance I have nothing against WDFW. They’re doing their best. We can all help make their lives easier by doing our part

[huntnnw]

Once the state does their checks and balances and then moves to the draw it should not take more than 24 hours. NV is a perfect example. The draw was done from 8-10 am or so and around midnight those results began to upload.

I wasn't saying the draw time should be a day, or even shorter than it is. My point was giving additional time after a deadline to make changes seems unnecessary given that we have ample time to read the regs, do our research and submit our apps.

As for the 3 months, I work a job that has multiple deadlines throughout the year, one of which is July 15th and one is September 1st. The earlier I know my results, from any state I apply in helps me balance my workload and make a plan.

Agree with you 100% exactly where I was coming from as well

I have to submit PTO in dec so I have zero sympathy for anyone
