I suppose the only people hurt by waiting to long to submit, are the people that waited to long to submit. Am I wrong? I don't think there's a grace period.10 bucks says there will be this year. I would also venture a guess that we may not see results until July. :twocents:

Don't be that guy that waits till the last day to submit!! This year will have it's problems and if you wait till the last day you could very well have issues that need to be delt with after the deadline. There is a good chance this years results will be delayed. The lady at wdfw that finally fixed my dads issues with his tags told me to please, please, please don't wait. Don't be that anchor in our system!!! never could understand why people wait, your name doesn't go to the top of the pile!! Rant over
What your rant fails to account for is the complicated nature of drawing for multiple family members and group hunting members, both here and out of state. The out of state issue is the most complicated part. Most folks don't have enough vacation time to dedicate to a Utah bull hunt and a special bull hunt here in Washington, for example. So it sure would be nice to know the Utah hunt results (or name your state here) before applying in Washington. That is just one example I am sure of many of why some folks are forced to wait.
Post by: JimmyHoffa on May 18, 2017, 12:44:14 PM
Since the draws started, I was probably the first in and never drew anything. This year I did multi elk at the last minute and actually drew. Was going to do the rest of the draws last minute to test my newest theory, but figured with snafus likely, I should just get them submitted. :o

I don't blame anybody for taking full advantage of rules,like trying to wait for other draws in other states,or hunting deer on both sides of the state.When you take advantage too much you end up having to choose which side of the state your going to hunt like elk. :twocents:

How can you get a tag that doesn't list method or side of state for elk? Are you sure he didn't just not receive the tags at all? Because that's an option when you purchase a license, you can select your tags at a later date.He bought his tags a while ago, and didn't pick up his elk and deer tag, bought them on line at home. He didn't notice back then they had sent him elk and deer tags with no designations of weapon or side. You think they would have a solution to this by now, he has to go back tomorrow to see the dealer again.

Exact same thing happened to me. I purchased online and my tags came with no weapon choice or E/W for Elk. I went in to a local dealer and they had to call WDFW dealer line and get it fixed. Took about 20 minutes. THey printed me new tags.
I couldn't submit for draws unitl it was fixed

"Dear WDFW Hunter,
We are contacting you in regards to your hunting license purchase from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife.
It has come to our attention that when you purchased your Deer and/or Elk tag, it was issued to you without recording your weapon and/or geographic area (eastside or westside for elk). This will impact your ability to submit special hunt applications for deer and elk, as well as your ability to hunt during the proper weapon season this fall.
We will need to cancel out the tag(s) that you were issued and issue you the correct tag(s) in order for you to submit for your desired special hunt categories. "
Post by: Mfowl on May 23, 2017, 09:08:50 PM
It processed licences without allowing the option of weapon type or east/ west (elk) and then locked you out. It won't let you enter special permit applications without declaring. You have to get an agent on the phone (no after hours help) cancel your tags, have them reissued and then submit your choices. There was 1 hour plus wait times today. Tomorrow they will make an executive decision.

After I got home though I was able to log in on WDFW's site and buy all my licenses and special permit apps, along with my daughter's and got all the applications for permits submitted. I'm really hoping she draws the youth elk tag. She's got 4 points for this year, and average was 3 points last year for those that drew that tag.
I just did points option this time for everything but my daughter's youth elk tag, and my cow tag applications. But I know I won't draw that cow tag as I got it last year.

Computers crash, systems go down, stuff happens. Happens to me at work at times as well.:yeah: I'll never understand the procrastinators but I do get it if your waiting for results from other states. But that's about the only reason to wait, I'd have no sympathy for anyone who didn't get in because they just waited and the system crashed at the last minute.
Plan for that potential ahead and the world will be a much more stress free place.
Oftentimes people can't afford them until the last minute. These things are expensive and I know several people who had to break it out over several pay periods.
Understand it can be a big chunk to lay out all at once, but you know you ar going to do it, so why not toss a few bucks back after hunting season to be ready for the next and avoid the stress of finding it all at once???
maybe they gotta pay for them fancy taxidermy mounts :tup:
me personally, lately it almost seems to be hiking with a bow, but not this year! :hunter:

Maybe yes, maybe no. I think it is more a matter of priority. I know I only have so much money to work with, that sadly is not going to change anytime soon. :'(
It seems to me that it is at times, simply a lack of thinking ahead and making it a priority now (life happens and emergencies occure that just can't be planned for), but this is not something that should be a surprise.
When it is an activity that you know is going to be something you will do a year or so in advance and has some stiff costs assicoated with it, seems like if you do struggle, you would toss a few bucks aside to help ease the pain.
If a person saved $1.00 a day, maybe just in pocket change tossed into a jar, starting April 1st when the new licenses start, that would be $365.00 to buy next April 1st licenses.
I think this is just an example of the bigger problem, too many people don't really even try to think or plan ahead about anything...rush...rush...rush to the last minute then, complain when they can't have it RIGHT NOW, or it becomes an unecessary struggle/burden.

Went in and tried to submit my dream hunts today. Turns out I've missed the deadline. :bash:But you almost made it... only 5..... I mean 4 days late. :sry:

I bet he gets what he put in for, a point :chuckle:
I bet he gets a "not selected" that's what I get every time I put in for points. The state is so greedy with the "selected" word they won't even give it to a points application. :chuckle:
