It's a new system, and hopefully they get the kinks out sooner rather than later.

Just spoke with someone from DFW, and while 2017 licenses should go on sale either today or Monday, we won't be able to submit spring bear apps until the middle of February. Deadline will still be 2/28, so we will have just two weeks to do it.
I can confirm this. I was having issues getting signed into the new interface. After several phone calls, etc, it finally accepted my user name and password. WDFW did mention that they do control when the deadline is for the spring bear application and that may be affected if they cannot get the site online in time.

I just got the following notification on my Point Hunter App, but still don't see the 2017 licenses up when I login to the system. Hopefully soon. :tup:You'd go all the way to Wyoming to hunt Turkey? Working on a slam?

Actually, I am just opted in for Wyoming notifications, and they don't allow you to select which species you want notifications on.

Antler...I'm still seeing last years, not this years...After you select big game you then have to select next year's documents. It will either be at the top, or at the very bottom if you are on a mobile device.

Me neither. I didn't see any weapon selection either. ( archery/muzzy/gen rifle)....

As for the elk choices and weapon choices it propted me during the checkout under the survey portion. I was able to make my choices then.

And lastly if I have my father put in for a partnership tag with me where we both draw can I use that 1pt?Yep your points will always stay there until you draw.

Your points will go into the draw with your group. They'll average the points of the group.

You'll actually be in the draw this year with two points. Your point from 2015 and another point that you get when you submit your application this year. If you apply with your dad and he hasn't applied before, he'll have just the one point for this year's application. Your points will be averaged, so 1.5 points for the partnership application, and I believe that will round up to 2 points in the draw.

I wonder how much this new fabulous system is costing us (YOU and ME), and how many man hours are being spent to fix this new system that never worked to begin with. I can't help but think that it's deep inside $6 figures, possibly $7 figures. I also heard that waves of people made the journey to Grays Harbor to dig razor clams, but the local vendors licensing systems were down.
It's clear to see why they tried to raise the license fees while taking away more opportunities. They gotta pay for this system somehow.
I'm sure glad Idaho Fish and Game came to the sportsman's show to do the DIY deer and elk hunting seminars. Kinda sounds appealing!

The most concrete info I've found is here: http://wdfw.wa.gov/news/jan2417a/
"Spring bear hunters hoping to draw a permit for 2017 can purchase their application now, and will be able to submit for their preferred hunt choice online from Feb. 15 through midnight, Feb. 28. The spring bear drawing will occur in early March."
I've marked my calendar for the 15th. Hope this helps others.

So why get frustrated about not being able to submit when they, for better or worse, have said exactly when the window is?Some people just like to complain..?
Typically we have been given 2 months to submit bear apps and 3 months to submit multi-season. I am one of those that usually submits my apps the first day the window is open. That said, they aren't pushing back the deadline, or results, they are just pushing back the day you can begin submitting apps, and they have been upfront about the date for at least a month now. We will still have two weeks to submit bear apps and a month and a half to do the multi-season apps. If you can't get it done in those timeframes, then we've got bigger issues here. :chuckle:

Is their an option to put in for a preference point only for spring bear versus purchasing the license and special permit app?In order to apply for a point only, you still must purchase a license and bear tag.

Yes, normally the "license" (receipt) has everything listed that you purchased.. I was told on the phone from game dept that they will no longer do that. I had a heck of a time with my spring bear permit.
Post by: Duckslayer89 on March 02, 2017, 07:08:43 PM
I received my license and tags today and nowhere does it say I purchased spring bear app. I did successfully online and also submitted it successfully. Shouldn't it say you purchased it on your license? I believe last years did. Mine just says big game (deer, elk, bear, cougar) with small game.
I bought bear elk deer cougar and only received my bear tag! What the heck
