If you want to help speed up the drawing, I will take donations to help me buy a pass???? I'm not getting one this year because the deer season's have just been getting worse the past few years. But, I will help, just send me some donations to go toward the 375.00 pass!!!!

This came up when Washington moved the deadline earlier in the year a few years ago. Hancock used to draw by the end of June (if I remember right ) regaurdless of if they sold out or not. There was a time they didn't always and you could dang near buy a pass anytime in the year. ( oh I long for the days the internet didn't ruin everything) but when wdfw moved up the deadline so did hancock, probably from about 1200 guys calling Claudia bugging the whiz out of her . So be patient they'll get um drawn. Then when you don't get that tag you can apply for all the other tags you won't draw and you can be happy again
