So I bought my licenses back in April, and got the "Get Outdoors" package which gives me all of my tags. They finally mailed it to me a couple weeks later, and I pulled out my license receipt so I'd have it with me when I went fishing, but didn't go through the whole thing.
I go to enter my special hunts this weekend, and I can't put in for any elk or deer hunts - it tells me I don't have the authorized weapon type ("Modern") or location ("Eastern"). I then went through the envelope that I had received, and lo and behold there are no elk or deer tags in it. I'm pretty sure I specified my Modern and Eastern preferences when I bought them, since I'm pretty consistent with those selections.
So apparently the system either doesn't think I bought those tags, or it doesn't have my preferences indicated. Even though the system says you can specify your preferences at a later date after purchase, I can't seem to find where to do that in my profile at WDFW. I've sent an e-mail in and I'll call tomorrow, but with the holiday weekend and last minutitis on my part (Stupid vacation delays!) I don't think I'll be getting it resolved immediately.
Luckily my receipt shows that I bought the package which includes the tags, but with no physical tags I could be in for rough sailing in convincing WDFW to send me new ones. Meanwhile, since it's already 2 days to deadline, I'll probably be taking the points option for everything this year...
Anyone else had this prob, or know how to change/update your tag preferences after purchase?
