In a few years when they stop printing regulations they will say it's because hunters don't use them anymore.
California stopped printing hunting and fishing reg books 5 years ago. It's a go digital or get passed up world unfortunately.

Except that WDFW is using the excuse of no paper regulations to extend the deadline.

People bitch and moan About not having the paper regs so they extend the deadline, so damn stupid.   It’s like this state starts over every year when it comes to hunting regs and drawings, other states have firm deadlines and seem to never have the problems wa has. Ridiculous

I would not want that to happen in Washington! Would be bad for sportsmen.

They have to fiddle with the regs every year to make it look like they do something.  Bunch of blunt turds fine tuning the hole.

I've never bought my stuff online, always at a store.  So I just bought everything, submitted my specials hunts and everything went through. So will they now mail me all my tags and licenses??

Amazing how the .01% always gets the most attention.  I bet they figured out how to email WDFW and complain. The deadline should be the deadline.  If you can't figure it out get some help!

💯 and the same people that bitched will be the same ones complaining mid June when the draws haven’t happened yet! It’s not difficult to find the regulations online, they’ve been out since when? Early April? No reason to need them to apply for special hunts. The only good thing the paper regs provide is something to keep in your truck and trailer when afield. Other than that deadlines are deadlines  :bash:

You may not believe this... But I know people who are still active in life, successful, and retired... Who hunt and fish... That don't own a smart phone, computer or, lap top... House phone and flip cell phone... They had to go the their kids and start an email and if they need to use the computer to do this special permit submits... So it's a huge inconvenience to do this and go all digital to them... I don't understand why anyone is blaming anybody except the WDFW... They all year to write and print new regs... And they can't even get them done before a deadline they scheduled... You all are mad at the wrong people...   :twocents:
I love you... I really do...
