2+2=(x) where x=the sum of 4 multiplied by 4.
Whatever the case, is it fall yet?

Just bought my hunting/fishing license and special apps today for the annual small fortune of $370. I am a huge fan of the $16 "dealer fee" wdfw tacks on to the bill at the end. I did it all online, by myself and on wdfw's website so there was no third party (dealer) even involved. Is the wdfw and their website 2 different entities and the website subcontracted out by the state where non-wdfw employees are doing the work and therefore need to make a living for the work they are performing by charging a dealer fee? I know the answer to this question, just being sarcastic. And $16? Seriously??? Classic Washington state and classic wdfw. Every year I buy my hunting license it feels more and more like buying tabs for my truck.

But $16.00 seems extremely excessive.

The problem with buying local is that 90% of the time the guy operating the terminal has no idea what's going on and I used to buy pretty much all the stuff. Online at least you can check all the boxes.
Much easier this year, for the multi-season fee I can put in for an AZ or NM tag.

Isn’t the dealer fee included in the price listed in the regs? Or is it in addition?
In addition, also you can get hit with hunting reports, crab or fish catch card fees. I forgot them one year during a move and got slammed $40 for fishing, $40 for hunting and $40 for crab.

I may get hit with the admin report penalty this year since I missed my elk report. They called me the day after the deadline and I gave them the info over the phone.

If you think that's expensive, don't worry, they sell the package deal "Fish Washington License" where you can buy everything they offer with the tremendous savings of $0.32 over buying everything separate.

If you look in the hunting regulations on page 4, there is a list of all the hunting licenses, and the prices shown do include the dealer fee.:yeah:

When I get my licenses at cabelas they scan the wdfw fee amount ($6.60 for permit apps) and then the scan the dealer fee ($0.50) for that item. The total is 7.10. The same listed in the regs.

While we're ranting.. When will the points we accrued for special hunts be accurate on there site? Or do we need another fee for that too!?
I haven't heard of anybody not having correct points :dunno: are you missing some? Doubt you would complain if you had too many I guess

Pennsylvania cost the same $100 and their average deer take is colse to 350,000 deer a year.
Both states have excellent state game lands to hunt on plus lots of private land that is open for hunting.
I wont waste a dime on this state game department.

I just purchased my big game tags for this year and noticed that I had Mtn goat points (3) and I have never applied... Also shows I have disabled quality points and I'm not disabled,(well my wife would probably disagree with me :chuckle:) nor have I ever had a disabled permit
I don't know about your mountain goat points- if you've really never applied then you shouldn't have any points.
But the disabled hunter points are from when they created all the additional categories several years ago (I think in 2010). You must have had one deer point at that time, so with the new categories you got one point in ALL deer permit categories. There is Quality, Buck, Antlerless, Youth, 2nd deer, Youth, and Disabled Hunter.

If any of you have Cabelas credit cards, you can use points to pay for fishing and hunting licenses. You can also use gift cards, and you can buy discounted Cabela’s gift cards to save around 10% off.
I just cashed in points on my Washington tags and apps last week. Cabelas even paid my admin tag reporting fee. :chuckle:

What do you mean you cashed them in? Got rid of them and reimbursed for the points you had?🤔
