Does not matter, I realized that I am sure to draw.
The way my life works, I have plans for this season that don't include getting drawn for the Observatory Archery, or modern permit.
I have not been hunting the unit for 9 years, and saving my time off for west-side ML...

wasnt there issues with multiple states last year with the draws and why they were late? Im guessing we will be back to around the normal time they post this year.WDFW had another competing deadline last year that involved the licensing system that pushed the draw back a week.

I am always confident I will draw. I drew all three OIL's in a span of 6 years and before the draw for moose, I was already thinking about my vacation schedule.
Unbelievable

It says on the wdfw log in the results will be available no later than June 14
It says "Your Special Hunts and Points will be visible no later than June 14th 2019"
It doesn't say results will be available!!

WDFW will be releasing a mass email this morning; long short of it, most if not all of the permit data was lost (cloud issue) and we all will need to resubmit. New drawing deadline is June 28.
Best of luck to all of you.

That makes sense because if your points are visible they would be updated and you would know if you drew something.

I don’t think that’s what they said. They said your points and special hunts would be viewable by then. Didn’t say results would be posted by then. I just took that as meaning the page on their website would be accessible again by then.

Ya I don’t know. But they take it down every year, and I’ve never picked up on any correspondence between the 2. You could put it back up there with exactly the same information that it displayed before they took it down.

I don't remember them taking it down in the past. Doesn't mean they didn't. Just saying I don't remember that.
They definitely never put up a message saying it would be put back up by a certain date.

They probably took it down to free up the server and to take a breather. I think they have to use the same server for the draw and constant checking is a drain on resources. The faster the server, the sooner you will see results.

3-4 weeks to get results. Please show what other western states have results out in less time.

It should be done earlier in the year. Alaska for example. Apply in December, results in February
:yeah: WY elk is January. ID is ridiculous with their deadline and results some of the controlled hunts start in August thanks a lot for the time to plan. I have to submit vacation before the idaho deadline for August hunts in case I draw.

"They've posted the proposed draw changes on their "get involved" link. What they have done is leave the Elk app period as it was; Jan 1 - Jan 31, moved the change date to May 8, and moved the results date to coincide with the Deer/Antelope draw.
So, if you wanted an early app date, it's still there, you just won't be getting results until June.
I was told WYOGA convinced them to just move the results date. Seems like a good way to make sure your clients don't apply to other states."

Oh okay, thanks for that. I hadn't seen any discussion of the specifics. I thought they were doing away with the January 31 deadline and I just assumed it was going to be the same as the deer and antelope deadline.
I'm glad they kept the earlier date. But it will sure make it hard to plan a possible Wyoming elk hunt around other hunts a guy might draw in other states. Helps to keep draw odds from getting much worse though. So there is that.

It's always been that way. Non residents apply for tags in January, not even knowing if those tags they applied for will actually exist. That was the issue. Now they're going to allow applicants to modify or withdraw their application up until May 8th. The only reason for keeping the January 31 deadline is because that's what the outfitters wanted.
