DNRY....

It feels kind of good to get the first draw results post going of the year. 8)

The one that posts first has the bad luck :chuckle:

You drew last year not much of a chance :'(
-
Just purchased my point, sadly I decided to not hunt this spring, next year I'll have 5 points and am hoping to draw and have a good spring hunt again.
-
Always a chance in this state :)

one point for my dad and I, had an epic year last year killing my best bear. good luck guys.

Wish we could just put in for our top choices and our 2nd, 3rd, and 4th choices could be for points. :)
If I get my 3rd or 4th choice I will need a lot of help :)

You can just put in for 1 unit, and if you don't get drawn then you receive a point. That's what I always do, if I get drawn it'll be where I know and want to hunt.

I did mine online and it said I can't have point options with a hunt option and made me put in all 4 choices before moving forward. Last year was the same. Wonder if I did something wrong online?
-
If you apply for a unit you don't need to input the point option. It is automatic if not drawn. And you can move forward after putting in one option.
-
One and done !

Ah, got it. I just want back through my history and in 2014 I only had one choice. You are right, I made a mistake by trying to put the points option in rather than leaving it alone. Dang it.
Thank you! I should have remember this.

You can have it fixed, just call fish and game before the deadline.

Awesome, thanks! I called and they were able to correct my error, no problem. She did say that I wasn't the first person to have this happen. :chuckle:
I am back down to just my top choice :tup:
-
I have seem to have selected 4 as well, however I would probably only hunt 2, can you decline to take the area drawn in and just take the points?
-
No, just dont put in for units you will not plan to hunt if drawn!! your taking away someones else s opportunity to draw and hunt!
-
I will get it fixed, it is my first time putting in. I was unsure sure how the system works. Why I asked the question.
-
It is easy to fix. I called and they fixed it in 3 minutes per the advice above. Don't worry, this happens to the best of us :chuckle:
Here is the number I called: (360) 902-2464
Have your Wild ID number available.
The person I spoke to said this happens quite a bit. One would think they would include an option on the drop down list to something like "no hunt"... instead, when you try to thorough, and put in the "points only" option for choices 2,3,4, it says you cannot move forward with a hunt pick and point only pick, which leads individuals (including myself) to erroneously thinking you need all four hunt choices.
However, I will admit, I knew better. I went back to my history from 2009 to current, and see I have only ever placed in one hunt. :sry: It has been a long winter :dunno:
Just leave the options 2,3,4 blank and it goes through. I am glad everyone here has a ton of knowledge and caught this before the drawing end date showed up.
Good luck everyone!
-
Not supposed to start this dnry sillyness until march 1st.
-
Submitted! :tup:
-
I just put in for my spring permit so the draw can be run tomorrow. I debated on whether to put in or not, my heart really isn't in it yet this year, but I knew I would regret it if I didn't.
I don't what it is, even though I got a moose, which has always been a dream of mine, last season left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe it's that I finally got on of my dream animals, I don't know. I just don't seem to have the fire that I usually have by this time of the year. Seeing Selected next to my name could very well change that though.
-
My name is in the hat, 3 pts going in.
-
I've got 4 in this year...I feel like I have a chance again :tup:
Really hoping for a draw in Washington but I'm going to Idaho anyway
-
Still debating if I want to spend the extra $18 or not. With 8 points I'd have decent odds of drawing but really don't have the time or money to spend 2 to 3 weeks hunting on the other side of the state. I wish they still had a permit for Capitol Forest. That'd be a no brainer.
-
9 points for me, but no vaca to go :( Ghost point and gonna hope to draw with 10pts in 2017!
-

Back off there big guy it is my year to draw.... >:(

Are you going to be able to get out much with the new family addition? My wife shut me down the last two springs with her pregnancies/babies.
I am sitting on 5 this year too and have the green light for all spring. Fingers crossed!
If I am not lucky enough to get drawn, I will have time to headout if anyone needs help.

ain't nobody shutting me down (besides wdfw)! I guess I'm super lucky my wife hardly tells me no. when my first daughter was born in 07 it was Sept 19th we come home from hospital on the 20th. 3am the morning of the 21st we are both awake a wife gives me the green light to drive over and elk hunt the very last day of the season. So I packed my gear and off I went.

That is awesome. I am jealous haha. My son was born Sept 24th and I had to miss all big game seasons and waterfowl. My wife is getting better as the kids get older. My youngest daughter is 8 months now, and I won't miss any seasons this year. I hope.
-
I'm in with 2 points. :IBCOOL:
Carl
-
I'm in with 0 points (or I guess you call that 1 point).
Watch out, I draw this tag with reckless abandon... I really want to keep 100% success rate on this hunt and whack a 3rd spring bear.
My 2015 bear is on the bed, my gf likes it because it keeps her toes warm at night. :chuckle:
-
buying points this year... probably.
-
Stupid question, what does DNRY stand for?
-
Draw not run yet
-
Thanks! I was thinking Do Not Repeat Yourself and thought I messed that up.

Good idea but I think I need to save up for Wyoming in the fall. If it wasn't for that being my priority, I'd probably do the spring bear for sure.

just applied for my permit...did i draw it yet ?

In with 4 this yr
-
I think I had 3 when I drew monroe.

I have drawn with 1 point when putting in with a buddy and with 2 points another year.
-
I drew a blues tag the first year they came out, didn't have a clue what I was doing back then. Now it takes an average of 5 to 6 years for me to draw.
-
I drew with 2 points the first time. Now I have 5 points.
-
I'm in with 4 this year, and with the NE units permits being doubled, I'm pretty hopeful! Last time I drew with 3, and my father-in-law with 2.
-
I wasn't able to put in this year, will my point I have still be there next spring or does it go away?
-

your points don't go away until you draw, you can skip years it's ok.

You can put in until midnight tonight. If you don't, your points stay until drawn.

No such thing- if its your first year putting in that means you have 1 point in the drawing.

Thanks bobcat.

Bought my Lin and tags at Holiday on Saturday. Lin printed, paking pass, than the power went out for North Burlington. So bear and cougar were lost.
They called today and got it figured out with Mill Creek. Picked it all up today.
3 points going in North Skagit.
-
Any idea when results will be posted, just ballpark?
-
Check the backdoor. I heard they are gonna be posted early this year...
-

If I remember right online results are usually between March 10 and 15th.

Last year they were posted on the 10th.

I wish I would stop getting drawn so I could get some more points. Everyone seems to be pretty excited about high numbers of points. :chuckle:
-
I've drawn a tag 2 times. The first time I put in for it I drew Monroe. Then I drew with 3 points. I have 3 now so I should be getting it again. It's almost a guarantee. :chuckle:
-
I will be taking my daughter spring bear hunting in Idaho. :IBCOOL:

I didn't even apply. I have the Idaho lifetime license, and will be hunting a unit that offers reduced bear. She will have the junior mentored, so about the same price as applying for several years in WA, and we can both hunt. Washingtons mismanagement of predators makes me so disgusted i can hardly participate anyhow, although i will kill a fall bear here. :twocents:
-
Last time I had a kid I drew and I just had another so I should draw.
-
Dnry :bash:
I need to draw huckleberry, i already have my bear picked out :chuckle:
-
I drew monroe.
-
Two years ago wasn't it?
-
2013
-
I feel like being back up to 4 pts gives me an outside chance. We'll know in May, when the draws come out...halfway through seasons. :chuckle:
-
I drew monroe.
so did I.

Bought my license and application in the nick of time...... Got busy and forgot to apply :bash:. Guess I'm going for points this year... :bash: :bash: . I turn 59 this month, must be getting old and forgetful....

Or at the very least, if you purchase and forget to apply, your name automatically goes in as a point option.
-
I agree with baker5150 but I am unwilling to make hay out of it.
If I buy the option, it's up to me to use it. Same as if I buy a Discover Pass, it is my job to make it visible
-
I do wish they had you make your selections and pay at the end of selection making. That is how most normal systems in the world work.
Imagine if you paid for a concert ticket and then went to another website to book your seat and if you didn't do it you didn't get a seat, it wouldn't make any sense. Why cant WDFW live in the real modern world?

I drew monroe.
so did I.
:ban:
Dang it thought you guys were leaking the secret WDFW backdoor way to see if a guy drew a tag! :chuckle:

:yeah:
This was my thought the first time I applied. Kind of a pain in the arse to buy it at one location, then go into another location to actually make your selection, then check another location to see if I drew, and finally one last location to submit my hunt report. I wonder if there are 4 separate offices to administer each of these sites?

Kind of my thought. Takes me like 3 minutes online to buy and submit. I dont see what people are complaining about. Pretty simple really.

It's easy enough if you've done it before. Navigating through it for the first time, I can see it being confusing.

My point total is getting back up there again, I expect to see a "Selected" by the end of next week.

Just realized the last day to purchase was Monday :bash:..... guess the odds for h20 and Drock just got better, hey maybe they will throw me a steak or two when they tag out.. :dunno:

No problem. Bro in law and I will each have tags . Done deal .

when was the drawing run last year? backdoor link? I'm hoping with 5 points I can draw ridiculous :bash:

Think I read last year was March 10th.

Or at the very least, if you purchase and forget to apply, your name automatically goes in as a point option.
I called WDFW and spoke with Anita, I confirmed that if you purchase the application and do not submit a hunt option or point only option, you still get the point for the application. It is automatically a point option as soon as you buy the application. If you forget to submit a hunt choice, you get the point. Pretty straight forward...
Also, per the website FAQ:
Do I build up one point for each hunt choice I select on my special permit application?
You earn one point for each application you buy. Whether you submit one hunt choice or four hunt choices, you still earn one point. You can buy one application for each category each year. If you draw a permit, your points in that category return to zero.

Well, what I meant is that you get the point before the drawing, not after. I've never bought an application and not submitted it. So I was only trying to confirm what others were saying- that you never have zero points in the drawing.

Not true at all. I bought an application for my wife and myself 4 years ago and forgot to submit my application, so neither of us was awarded a point. I called WDFW to see why we weren't given our points and their response was if you dont submit, then you don't get a point. Unless they changed it recently, I don't believe that you get a point without actually submitting.

I did the same a few years ago
-
Call them like I did. I would have a hay day with wdfw in the courts if they did not award points to someone who purchased an application and wasn't awarded their point.
I was concerned about some of the posts and called today and confirmed. If you have proof you were not awarded a point, email it to me.
-
It is even in the Big Game Pamphlet. Here are a couple screen shots from my phone. Notice the words, "the purchase of an application" results in a point... no where does it say you must submit an application to get the point.
So, if you "purchase" an app you have a point even if you don't submit for a hunt.
If anyone has a different experience, it is a breach on WDFW's part, and you should get it rectified.
I am just looking out for my fellow outdoorsman. I don't like seeing people taken advantage of.
-
Nice call, had not seen that.

What I said is also true though- you gain a point when you submit an application. i don't think you actually get a point at the time of purchase. But you may get a point after the drawing if you forget to submit. :dunno:
-
Nice call, had not seen that.
Absolutely. Good information.
-
I am guessing they changed it like I suggested in my last post because they probably received enough complaints from other hunters. Trust me, I spoke to a guy named Cory and I read him the riot act and told him exactly what I thought about WDFW. I might add I haven't drawn a permit since for anything other than a cow tag, so I'm sure I got blacklisted. I can assure you that neither of us were awarded a point, but I'm sure in the hell not going to search for something from 4 years ago to try and prove my case.

Don't get me wrong, I don't know specifics about the past, and I am not trying to be a db. You are probably right regarding the past. I just know what I research for 2014 and 2015. I just want to make sure we are all on the same page.

This would be true. You are correct, technically, you wouldn't even benefit from the current year's purchase until the next year's draw...
And that is only if you purchase an app the next year and put in for a draw.
-
Wow, they need to post the results since we've resorted to quibbling about the ins and outs of the point system. LOL. DNRY!

Great, at least I will be getting a point.... But I've lost all interest in the draw. Good luck to all of those who remembered to apply!!! :tup:

So I called the number, pretty sure I dialed correctly, and the woman with the husky voice was very nice. She told me I could come on down and get my "special permit" but it would cost me. Not sure if this is legit have any of you guys had to go to a hotel and pay for your "special permit"?? Seems kind odd for the WDFW don't you think?

Now I can hardly wait for the annual Hancock S____ thread .
For some numbers , Clyde told me that 6 bear came out of Kapowsin last spring season , 5 of them where investigated or are being investigated which sounds like only one was legit . 1 out of a 150 permits is a .75% success rate . I put in for the tag because we are in there scouting all year so I might as well be prepared just in case .

I wait until all my hunters have killed and then I hunt. So far we are 100% kill on my guided spring bear hunts, I intend to keep it that way as long as possible because there is no better marketing tool than that, so I'm not about to worry about myself until my hunters are all filled out.

2 for 2 on spring bear tags there. There are many on here that know the unit fairly well though.
I have ruined 3 tires in the unit over my 2 seasons there, so I'm pretty good at that. Broke my jack for the truck too. I feel undefeated in that category. I also know of two cabins in the unit on state land... (well more lean-to ish than cabin)
On a serious note, if you need help I'd be happy to lend a hand, either for the hunt or the haul out.

Nope. The RadSav luck seems contagious. Nothing for CL, MLB or D-Loop either.
So if a stranger asks if you know me...act offended and say, "Who that arsewipe? I would never associate with that guy." Best to cover your tail just incase there is a WDFW spy wanting to know who else to put on the "RadSav friends Not Selected" list. :chuckle:

No luck for Angry Squaw?
Nope. The RadSav luck seems contagious. Nothing for CL, MLB or D-Loop either.

Id just like to wish all you losers a happy turkey season :chuckle:

6 of us drew up here...............be bear in the freeze soon.
-
I wasn't selected, but hunters are starting to call and reserve dates. Can't wait to be bear hunting again! :IBCOOL:
Dale how do you handle the year that you draw and Guide?
I wait until all my hunters have killed and then I hunt. So far we are 100% kill on my guided spring bear hunts, I intend to keep it that way as long as possible because there is no better marketing tool than that, so I'm not about to worry about myself until my hunters are all filled out.
That's cool Dale.

All in all we are 7for 9 in 49 degrees this year
. It's gunna be packed up there

I'm beginning to wonder.

How could you possibly have too much going on? You can apply in 2 minutes online. You could do it on your cell phone while youre sitting on the can.

Congrats to all the successful permit holders, this should be a good year. :tup:
-
Agreed. I see a early green spring and bears moving.

Not selected, but I only put in for one unit, oh well I don't think the weather will be good this year anyways.
-
Lick Creek ! 6 points my 18 year old an I both got permits! Timber stalker you ready for some fun?
I have a bear pegged down in Lick Creek discovered over the 10 days I spent chasing cow elk this last season. I would be more than willing to give you the drainage he is living in and more specifically GPS coordinates. Just let me know. Dan
-
The wife and I both struck out individually with 5 points each applying for the NE units. I guess I have to wait to see if I strike out with MS elk as well with 8 points, in which case I'm heading out of state to hunt this year. :bash:
-
I drew Copalis
-
Am i really the only one on here so far that drew huckleberry?
-
notta for me, hopefully saving my luck for the regular draw
-
Douglas for me!! :IBCOOL:

Del could not make it to our spring bear party so I wanted to make sure he knew we were thinking of him. :chuckle:

Wackmaster, I'm really surprised that Lick Creek and Mtn View were full before Wenaha, but the fact that you chose them ahead of Wenaha as well tells me I'm the odd one that would choose to hunt Wenaha over any other unit. Actually good news for me.

15 less tags in those units combined so it doesn't surprise me that they were full before. The wenha isn't for everyone

NOT SELECTED
Dang it! try again next year

With my son applying as well we get twice the not selected!
-
Drew Kelly Hill with 6 points. I wonder if I should have applied for Dayton as my first choice. I've never been to either area so I got some learning to do. Good luck to all who drew
-
My buddy and I got drawn for Copalis. Looking forward to a good time on the coast.

I will be at the Cabelas this weekend. Stop by if you want to learn sounds for calling bears. Rick
Check out my bear calls under the Sponsors . Also Check out bear paws bear hunts. He knows Kelly Hill very well. Big pretty bears there.

For those not selected look at reduced bear units in Idaho. Less than 200.00. Great way to slight for a future fall hunt too!
-
Drew my 3rd choice Kapowsin (Monroe - 1, Skagit - 2). My choices were mostly around proximity so looking into it more.

Nope, I drew Huckleberry as well. It was my third choice, which means a long drive for me.

Drew North Skagit..... first time applying for spring bear! :IBCOOL:
Must be nice!!! We put in with 4 separate applications, 6 points, 5, 4, and 4 and still didn't get a tag :bash: Turkeys beware...
-
My 13 yo and I drew Copalis. Don't really care if I get one but can't wait for him to shoot his first bear. Just hope we have enough time to hunt with baseball season.
-
Big surprise, "NOT SELECTED"
-
Drew Aladdin. This will be my 1st spring bear hunt :) I've already read "no bait just bears" going to read it again tho. Anybody hunt this Gmu before?
-
:yike: Both the wife and I got drawn for Aladdin! Family hunt, this is going to be a great year. Love hunting with her and can't wait to share the experience.

Just found my permit in the mailbox. :whoo:
The only downside is that my best shed spot is still covered in snow, and by the time it melts ill be too busy bear hunting to go looking for paddles. I can live with that though.

If you give me directions and details to your best shed spot I'll go make sure they get cleaned up while your bear hunting.
You know just to be the helping guy that I am. :chuckle:

Any guesses on when the snow will have melted off enough to make 49 degrees this year worth while ?

When it stops snowing...most of the good spots will still be getting snow for another few weeks. If I had only one month to see or shoot bears in the Spring, it would be Middle May
