Title: Special Hunt Submission - What am i doing wrong?
Post by: Chanes8CWU on April 19, 2022, 07:02:45 AM
I am trying to put in for my special hunt submission to specific areas and keep getting an error that says "Does not meet weapon requirements (modern firearm)". It also wont even let me do the point saver option. This is only my 2nd year doing this so i am sure it is something straightforward that i am missing

Did you pick up your deer and elk tags yet?

It's not working for me either. But I'm not getting the same message you are. I think you need to check and make sure you have selected your tags, and when you do that you'll be asked to select either archery, muzzleloader, or modern firearm. That should solve the one issue. But it probably still won't work because it's not yet working for me and I do have my deer and elk tags. I'm assuming it will begin working at some point today, maybe 8:00 AM?

This is what I get when I try to submit:

Double check your hunt #'s since the same gmu's will have multiple hunts available. Also wait few days, things just opened up. DFW may not have swept the cobb webs out.

I double checked hunt numbers to make sure i was selecting archery only units. And i am getting the same access denied message that another member posted above. I am going to say this is a website issue and check back at 8am

Try calling Shaniqua.
Is Shaniqua still there? I figured she would've worked her way right into the capitol by now!

same thing happening to me on my OIL submissions.  I will be patient, as required by the State...  We have an entire month to submit.  I love that I have a whole month to ruminate over the hunts I already knew I would pick on day one and then get another month to wait until they draw.  It's like the anticipation of Christmas...  I feel like I am 5 years old all over again.

WDFW is now run by Anti-Hunting personnel. Don't think for one minute that they are going to do anything to make it easier for hunters to buy licenses or get permits.
Time to get together and stand up against them or we lose it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spring bear is just a start of their dirty work!

Not to thread jack, but did I miss something on the Multi-Season tags? Is there an issue?  can somebody direct me to that thread?
