WDFW extends special hunt application submission deadline to May 27

I think this is great.  I don’t let my kids have unfiltered internet access so the only way they’ll dive into the Regs is with the paper copy.  Good move WDFE

I get it. I don't let my kids have unfiltered internet access either, I hate the digital world, and I also know people who have chosen to not stay current with the times.

All that being said, the game department gave us the information a month ago; you made the choice not to download the pdf for your kids, others made the choice to avoid the digital world, and others are just too lazy to find a solution. None of those reasons should result in an extension. The world is soft; they gave us a date, they should stick to that date.

In my opinion, this has nothing to do with them doing you a favor because they were too incompetent to get the printed regs out on time. Between the price increase in tags and gas prices, they haven't sold enough permits and this is them hoping they can entice a few more people to pony up. It's BS.

I agree with keeping the posted deadline.  Bottom line WDFW has not kept timelines necessary to meet the commitments to the consumer.  Calling people lazy who choose not to "stay current with the times" instead continue using materiel WDFW should provide in a timely manner is uncalled for.    Like other government agencies that don't comply with their duties and services.  Too much internal BS going on to serve the public that pays their wages.  Raise licensing costs and then force additional expenses onto the consumer.  Not cool at all.

Just got done applying for my daughters and myself.  Can't wait to take it in the behind again this year and get another point added to my ginormous stack.  My oldest kid aged out of youth without ever drawing, last year for my youngest.  I hate this states system.

Non sense the WDFW released the regulations online over a month ago. If you chose not to look at them and wait for paper copies that’s on you. It’s 2026 get with the times, no excuses you obviously have a computer/tablet to access internet or a phone since your on this website. Furthermore the WDFW didn’t raise the license costs on you; Olympia did this and slashed the WDFW budget and then told people it was adjusting for inflation. In reality those license increases cover Olympia’s cuts to the WDFW.

Sounds like there will be alot of people dropping out of the special permits race when they decide to take away paper regs like the licenses and nobody wants to get on their computer to look at the regs online lmao. That will be good for me.
