When is the drawing? Will this be on hold along with everything else?
-
I dont think we'll have to wait for results.
-
Pretty sure office-wise, WDFW is shut down right now. DOL is pretty shut down right now also. Not sure how or if that would play together.
-
I thought I read Inslee vetoed a bunch of money that was supposed to shore up the wdfw budget on friday...IF true, I cant imagine they wouldn't get results out soon so they can get folks to buy before special permit apps close...every dollar counts when you are broke :dunno:

Someone in their office had enough time and money to send out an email and remind us all to put in before it closed! They will have a drawing.

Monday when they reevaluate the turkey and bear season
-
Not up yet. I'm anxious to find out as I have about enough to draw both elk and deer. And, it'll influence what I end up doing for applications and general seasons in Oregon.
It's been a few years since I dialed in the muzzleloader, so that would be fun to dust off and bring out again.

:yeah:
I went in with 9 elk points thinking I've had the right amount for the last 5 years.
-
I drew elk with 7 i think. Of course i was in alaska during all of archery, muzzy and rifle season, so it was a total waste. Im out of the game now. This is the first year i didnt apply for multi deer either.

Not sure you understand how our point system works. You could draw with one point or 20. Just more likely with 20.

How can you tell wdfw or the dol is shut down?????
I did points for elk and I will just buy the deer if I don't get it but I'm more looking forward to the draw just because it's something hunting related to think about. Hope it's soon.

Honestly I don't know how to tell specifically. I just know we're not able to sell cars right now because we don't have a way to license them. Since I made that post we've been told there are very specific reasons or qualifications people can have where we can sell them a car, but it's very limited. Like first responders who need a vehicle to get to their jobs, a person's car gets totaled or needs more work than it's worth or something along those lines we can sell a car. I'm a service guy and am pretty much allergic to the sales side so I don't know all of the specifics. We went from having zero sales people here to having one guy here all day. It's crazy how many people are apparently calling wanting to buy cars right now by the way.

Wife's friend just bought a truck and then got laid off the next day, I'm not surprised they're still calling. I'd bet most of the DOL employees and wdfw employees are working still they're just not "working".
-
I know of at least one WDFW employee that was working remotely from home last week. I think there are a couple of others that I have dealt with as well on the hunter ed side that are working from home or at least working as they are giving us updates as instructors. Knowing that I would say with confidence that WDFW is still working, remotely but they are working.
-
There are people in the Yakima DFW BUILDING,They have a report collection box out front for catch cards.
-
I've had instant email replies from two people I know inside WDFW, and phone calls from two others so at least four of them are working.
-
I called and got answered in 3 rings.So at least 1 more.
-
No selected for me
-
got deer but no elk.
-
Same. Got deer but not selected on elk, with 7 points on elk.
-
Not selected for Elk. I didn’t apply for Deer.
-
Got deer but no elk with 8 points.
-
Not Selected for Elk, (six points), selected for Deer, but the way this year has started out I might find something better to do with my money... DAMN, can we just get back to the woods??
-
First time ive not been selected for deer, and not selected for elk with 4 pts. oh well save some money I guess
-
Got deer, negative on the wapiti.
-
Not selected for either probably a good year for that

I drew deer, but not elk.
-
Got deer but not elk. Are we going to have a fall hunting season?
-
😤😪
-
Not selected for deer and only put in for an elk point. Guess I'll have to buy multi deer if I strike out in early archery. Or draw a second tag
-
My hunting partner and I drew Elk as a group. 6pts used.
-
My Dad and I both got neither...first time I've never been drawn for deer.
There seems to be a lot of deer not drawn...Did they reduce number of tags?
-
Got deer with two points negative for elk with 5 points.
-
Selected Deer not Elk
-
Not Selected for Deer :(

-
If not drawn how easy is it to buy your deer is there plenty left over

Selected for deer w/ 2points. Big negative on elk.

They should, but they never will, its a huge cash cow for them.
-
Selected for Deer. No on Elk...
-
Got deer with 2 point, still cant draw elk....even with 9 points.

My buddy had 11 points, I had 9 for elk, both not selected. I got deer

Very easy. Drawing deer is basically irrelevant since they generally never sell out of multi deer.
-
No on Elk, with 5 points. Can anyone explain why the state waits until the end of July to offer any surplus tags, when this is after the deadline for special hunts? Would seem like a better option to give anyone selected 30 days to pay, then offer them up.

Which I think is dumb, if you don’t plan on buying it don’t apply. They should make people front the money.
-
I only went for elk and was selected.
-
Not selected deer w/ 2pts.
Not selected elk w/ 4pts
-
I second making people front the money but I suspect that would cut down considerably on the "application fee" revenue stream so it will probably never happen - I got selected for deer again, last year was the first year I didn't get drawn but I bought a leftover in August.
-
I drew elk with 7 points. :)
No deer, drew one last year, so no points.
-
Drew elk with 10 and deer with 1
-
Drew elk for the 1st time and deer this year. Hopefully the start of good things to come

some people that drew won't buy their multi season tag until they see the draw results for the special permits in May.
-
If wdfw would make people front the money like a lot of states do for out of state hunters you wouldn't have any left over tags.

WDFW needs to make it that all tags are upfront money for everyone.
If you are not drawn then refund it less the application fee.
Used to be that way for what are now OIL.
-
how are you guys finding out if you drew? I tried calling the voicemail said they were closed due to gay Inslee.
-
Results are all online.
-
I always apply for multiseason deer, but I've only bought it about half of the times I've drawn.
They really should just offer it OTC.
Wont need my MS elk tag this year because I'll be busy cullin goats! :chuckle:

It essentially is otc, other than the app fee. They really should cut the permit numbers down to the same level as elk.

Yup but they won't, because all they care about is the money. Would help our odds drastically

wdfw would never cut tags down to 1,000 permits or whatever the elk number is way to much money left on the table but I do agree that it should just go over the counter once they're gone they're gone.
-
I know they wont. What is profitable for wdfw comes before what is right for our wildlife.

You may be able to buy the tag but not until after the special hunt draw. I want to apply for hunts with this tag. Pisses me off that so many apply and don't buy. You should have to pay up front to weed out the tire kickers.

Drew deer with zero points but that one always seems to be available before the season if you applied. Hopefully we have a season this year.
-
I don't know how but I drew deer with one point. It definitively lifted my spirits. I've been going stir crazy with no fishing or access to public land. At least now I take a break from tying flies and escout OnX for some archery hunts in September...
-
I drew deer with zero points. How does this work with second deer tags? I assume they are not converted to multi season as well.

they are drawn per specific weapon type. its just that you can now apply for muzzy archery rifle tags all in the same year if you have the ms tag

You drew with 1 point, not zero. Impossible to draw with zero. If you put in for the first time you were in the drawing with 1 point.

funny people act as if they drew something with multi season deer, anyone who applied will have the ability to have a multi season deer tag if they so choose
-
:chuckle: yeah its the participation trophy for hunters.

What you are missing is that if you "Draw" it allows you to apply for special permits in different user groups. This is important to me and others as well....

Ya that’s why I want to get the elk permit one year. So I can put in for eastside special draws but continue to hunt west. I’m at 4 points for elk and first year I didn’t get drawn for deer. But I do plan to buy deer in August anyway.

This is it for me too as I apply for rifle and muzzleloader permits. . You can’t apply in all the different weapons if you don’t draw it. Yes, you can almost be guaranteed to get one when they go on sale, but the draws are over by then. Maybe you didn’t think about that one.
:dunno:
-
Thats expensive for the chance to apply for different seasons. I pretty much use it the opposite way. Apply for rifle and if i dont draw and want the extra opportunity and have time ill buy multi. If i draw a good permit id rather save that $140 and just hunt the permit. :twocents:

Yeah but if I don’t draw, I’ll still buy the tag most years just because it gives me more weekend time to hunt. I’ve drawn it every year except this one and I haven’t bought it maybe 2-3 times. Different strokes for different folks.

Yep. I dont even apply to try and draw. I just ghost point it to have the option to buy later. I think im up to 4 or 5 points now. :chuckle:

Actually i do think about it leader of the 5,I put in my apps for deer as if i drew it either way because i know i can buy it whether i draw it or not.I bet you didn't think about that.

But you can’t apply for special permits in all categories if you don’t draw it initially. If you wait and buy it later after you don’t draw, that’s not an option...
which was my point.

Once you have the multi tag you can put in for any weapon deer draws. But you have to buy the tag first.
