Title: 2007 harvest reports?
Post by: funkster on August 18, 2008, 08:32:38 AM: Not trying to start a bashing thread, but I was just wondering if anyone has heard when the WDFW is planning on releasing the harvest reports? The website says "The complete 2007 Game Harvest Report will be available by August 2008." It's the 18Th and I want to see them before early archery season!

I wouldn't hold my breath, even for that date though, as I still have not received notification of the special permit drawing results, and of course, that was supposed to be in my mailbox no later than July 31st. :bash:

Post by: rackattack on August 19, 2008, 04:12:19 PM: I read on their website that 35% of the hunters didn't meet the January deadline. That's a lot of $10 penalties that the state receives. :yike: I also called them last week about the incentive tags they "supposedly" give out and they told me the drawing was held April 15th for those. Sure would be nice to know if somebody actually gets one or if it's an in house tag. :dunno:

Yeah, IF they are actually making these people pay the $10 penalty. They should, but I have my doubts. :bash:

My cousin had to pay his fee. Then they rewarded him with a Toutle bull tag. :dunno: Lucky S.O.B.

Yep. I know someone who had to pay as well.

Post by: MagKarl on August 20, 2008, 08:55:57 AM: I had to pay once a couple years ago. When I went to do the report, the website wasn't working properly. I forgot to try again later and the deadline passed. Got charged extra when I bought my new licence in the spring.

Post by: MountainWalk on August 21, 2008, 01:24:51 AM: Every year since they implemented the ten dollar fine, I have had to pay while buying new tags. I guess I always forget. Never have drawn.
