still over two weeks left to put in....... so stupid how long they have the draws open.  Not sure about how the odds could get better, just too many hunters and not enough tags anymore.
It's so long .
So they can email everybody to death.
Milk every penny they can. :chuckle:

Isn't it a month application period?

So it's the same length of time or shorter than every other western state. Thought maybe it was some crazy length of time or something.

I like having a month to ruminate. Still haven't submitted my yet. And as long as the draw has not been run...the dream can keep on living.

a week shorter, and we find out a week sooner.  I’d be willing to bet you one John Denver’s greatest hits CD that 90% of hunters already know what they are putting in for. 4 weeks isn’t forever, but 3 weeks is long enough. IMHO

I'm glad I'll be getting Wyoming elk results before Washington's deadline. The results of that will affect what I apply for in Washington. As it is I should be getting Wyoming results six days before our deadline here. So it would not be good to have our deadline a week earlier.

I am done with this state.
Even with 20 plus points for Bull elk, cow elk, moose and sheep I am done.


 Gift them to me then 😂
They won’t do you any good!  Maybe increase your odds to .00001% instead of .000001%.

Anybody know if you can gift points in Washington? Had a buddy move out of state with alot of points and no intention of using them. I know some states you can, but can't find any information if you can in Washington.
Don’t believe you can gift points in any state.  There are some states that allow you to gift your tag to a youth as long as you are present on the hunt but not aware of any that allow gifting points, which is good, that would just make the creep worse.

Do you think Nevada results will be out in time? Isn't it usually the Friday before memorial day?
