Bought all my stuff today.!! 490.00 later. Now I have to wait a month and a half to find out if I get drawn or not.!! :bash:
-
Wdfw sent an email last week stating draw results wouldn’t be posted until August 14th.
Some other guy was talking about it in another thread. Not sure of the validity.
Good luck with your wait.

August 14th for west side elk results, August 31st for east side. Seems weird that they’d break it up like that??

Show me the e mail.

Pamphlet says end of June

There was no such email. He lied. It will be mid-June like always.

Just received an Email from WDFW, mid June online with postcards by july.

That scammer did lie! I’ve emailed him multiple times! He’s non-responsive!

You mean I have to wait until June for the reality of having 2 points to kick back in?
Cause right now this is where I'm at:
-
You have a better chance of getting a date with her than drawing
-
What was the intent of the scam? Just to spread incorrect information?
-
Must have been a Russian, trying to spread misinformation

Nah, I'll totally get a goat tag.

Maybe intent of getting some people to not put in for permits , :dunno:

I don’t know. I’m wondering that myself. With Cenci retiring, and him being so involved with fisheries, I have my thoughts. Maddening! Absolutely maddening!

I don't mind the wait. Every day until the draw results are posted is full of promise and hope - the promise of a quality hunt, the promise of being in the elk and deer woods during the peak of the rut with just a handful of other lucky hunters. The hope that this will be my year for an OIL tag and, for the next few weeks, I get to hold onto that hope. I can make plans for opening day hikes, camping and travel arrangements and check the classified section for the weapon upgrade that I've been secretly squirreling away money for.
This time of year my thoughts are full of optimism so I am in no rush for the draw to come and have, in the time it takes me to log on and scroll through my selections, all my hope and promise replaced by that all too familiar kicked in the jimmies feeling. :)

:chuckle:
My sentiments, exactly.

So what are your guys' reasoning that YOU DESERVE that quality tag, haha . Just looking for some light hearted responses here.
Mine is: I graduate college with my bachelors degree on June 19th, and I am hoping the state of Washington gifts me a present of a quality tag around that time!!!!! *Fingers Crossed for Blues Mtn Archery*
-
I do not deserve one
-
Because I've been a good boy. And it's the only tag I haven't drawn that I've actually religiously applied for. Therefore, I deserve it.

Hold it, didn't you draw a big bull tag last year???? :chuckle:
-
My Dad ended his life this year. Hoping he sends me some good vibes from the other side. Either way going to celebrate his life with a backcountry Idaho hunt this year. Good luck everyone

They drew June 15th last year, I deserve a ghost point this year!!

Pretty easy to draw a ghost point.......

I did! So that means in the last 5 years I e drawn all categories of elk tags, but have never drawn a deer tag. So I need to keep the mojo going.

You lucky devil!
-
Raffle results will be out mid August
-
Just submitted mine today. Can't believe I spent all that time looking at harvest reports and the hunt numbers to end up with just the points! But like they say, gotta be in it to win it!
Good luck to everyone
-
I want my quality bull tag so I can be the first one in my family since my great grandfather to kill a bull elk. I would also settle for the any bull tag I put in for with my father so I could take him up and let him shoot a bull just like he used to do with me for deer. Just sit there and enjoy the excitement from him making his harvest. Especially since he has arthritis in his knees now and can't hike in like he used to. We all want the tags. Good luck to everyone no matter your reason for wanting the tag! May we all be drawn and may we all fill those tags!
-
I cant afford to get drawn, so this probably my year!
-
I have 5 points for quality this year and I’m still hoping I draw. Drew with 3 points in 2004 so anything is possible
-
what tag are you hoping to draw Entiat, Desert, Pogue, Perrygin?

its my turn bro! you just show up to push :)
-
I do NOT want to draw any of the permits I applied for, just can't bear to do points only. I don't have much time to take off work, and I'm already down a week of leave for a Wyoming deer hunt. I'm also pretty physically compromised for any of the OILs. You hear that, Draw Gods? I do NOT want to draw, just give me another point in each category!

I have a bucket full of Karma. It’s time to use it up.!!! I hope I get a good Fathers Day Present

Granted lol

I think I’m finally at the point where I’m not getting my hopes up. If you just assume you’re never gonna draw it eases the disappointment when you don’t

Bingo

Right there with ya. I have a buddy who drew archery any bull for Rimrock with 4 points and then drew it again the very next year. I have yet to draw a tag. I don't have a ton of points but seeing that happen when others have been putting in for longer.. kind of makes me sick even though the guy is a buddy.
-
My dad drew an Entiat rifle deer tag with one point in 2003 and then again in 2007. While he is definitely the exception, strange things do happen and even if you don't have a ton of points, you could be the lucky one!

Hey, me too! Already have Idaho tags BOUGHT AND PAID FOR. Plus I'm a school teacher and I DON"T HAVE TIME TO HUNT A GOOD TAG.
Hear that Draw Gods? I'M FINE WITH ANOTHER YEAR OF SEEING A WHOLE PAGE OF "NOT SELECTED"...
