OFFICIAL RESULTS

[haugenna]

Just called the WDFW and they said I was selected for Deer and it was official.

   Now I have to buy a muzzle loader

One intersting thing the guy told me was they overselected the permits for elk and deer.

2500 permits selected for 2000 tags for deer
850 permits selected for 600 tags for elk

Yet I wasn't able to buy mine just yet.
I was selected for both.

Sounds like a re-draw in the making.

Nice!!! Last year they had I think 3 draws to sell all the tags.

My speculation follows!!!!!!!

This year they overdraw to try and sell what they want to, and watch, they will oversell!!

[littlemac]

Nice, how do you think they'll be able to handle the new system for all the draws?

In an age of computers and such, you'd like to believe the State officials xould at least count!   

Oh, that's right it's the State Officials.

[spikehunter]

overdraw ? heck ya count me in

[haugenna]

That was the problem last year.  People were selected but didn't buy the tags (probably PETA) thus lost revenue for the state.  

Here is the kicker.  If you are selected and miss out on buying the tag on a first come first serve basis, you lose your perference points.

Yeah, but is it "first come first served"? Last year if you were drawn you had a window of time to purchase, then you lost out and they did a redraw. They havent said much about details yet this year. Just like always the regs are slow to come.

[WDFW-SUX]

I doubt they sell all of them at the bargain basement price of $180.00... Im definitely not racing out to get mine.

[Chesapeake]

I stand corrected, looks like first-come, first served is it!

Q. What if I am drawn, but decide not to purchase the permit?

A. Successful applicants will be allowed to purchase the permit on a first-come, first-served basis. The multiple-season permit is non-refundable and non-transferable.

[JBar]

Nothing for me. I did talk to the WDFW this morning and asked how they would fairly give the opportunity to purchase. They told me they are going to set a sale date in the near future to give all that were drawn ample time to receive notice. They will announce the sale date with the success letters and on the web later. It will be a free for all come that date. Good luck to all that were drawn!

[haugenna]

If you are an old schooler or know an old schooler that doesn't like buying on the internet, you might want to help him or her figure out how to buy online.  The guy told me that they will pick a date and the buying will start at 12:01 am. 

[JBar]

Perfect while everyone's asleep!

[Bearhunter]

Sweet I finally drew the Elk tag and I got the deer as well, this state is really soaking me for some money this year, I sure hope they put it to good use.
