We have a couple other pages out there but not an official special permit results page, shaniqua wants 500 pages by the end of the week! That’s prob not going to happen so maybe we will see results in two weeks- to a month??!!

I’m in for muzzy bull, 27 points, ghost for quality muzzy because that catagory is a joke! 17 quality deer, and 24 for goat and sheep. Good luck guys/gals!!

Can anyone beat that?

why ghost? you only get so many opportunities to apply in this state why limit it? someone's gotta draw

I have 13 for archery quality I'm have way to 27 :IBCOOL:

Hes probably hoping the opportunities will improve and why piss your points away on a quality tag that's not even quality like most

there still isnt a quality bull tag on the eastside that I wouldnt want :dunno:
-
Look up quality tags on the west side for muzzy, they suck unless you have private property privileges for one.
-
I am in for probably more than I should have applied for but did ghost point some stuff. If my wife, kids, father in law and I all draw different permits it could get pretty hectic this fall. I will deal with that if it happens.
Good luck to everyone. Hope to see a few selected's by middle of June.
-
I made my annual donation. Not expecting to draw anything. I'm just happy I drew a Montana deer tag.

I'm at 2 points for pretty much everything.
Not sure why I'm putting in for 2nd deer though...I can't even shoot 1 :chuckle:

I don't think my expectations have every been lower. Tag numbers just don't look good anywhere, regardless of number of applicants.
-
My oldest daughter better start drawing some of these youth tags before she's not able to buy youth applications anymore.

wdfw cut bull permits and upped antlerless tags it makes all the sense in the world.

I am actually just the opposite this year. Even with tag numbers dismall I have my wife, both daughters, father in law and myself all in for permits. We are in for a total of 50 categories. I gotta believe one of us will draw a permit.

First kid I was all "Mr. Application Strategy" :tinfoil: hmmmm.... is it better to put in for something he can draw and burn the points, or is it better to be in the pool your last year with more points than most other kids..... :dunno:
Next year, I will sit Little Pathfinder down and say "Son, this year you are going to eat 8 points in every youth category. This is what it will feel like most years that you send your money to WDFW. Now, let's talk about career fields that will get you a good job in WY, MT, CO or ID..." :chuckle: :chuckle:

June 10th. At least the last two years were. I always worry about getting more then one elk tag. LOL
Never happens. Never will. Most excited about the youth hunts for the grand kids. Much nicer to follow something that requires 5 points and down to get drawn.

Yeah, tell me about it. I retired from the Army and became a high school JROTC Instructor. Worst possible job for someone who likes to hunt (except maybe a taxidermist or a Game Warden...). 4 days in a row is about all I can finagle.
-
I am not really expecting any draws this year. Since I drew quality elk last year i am not expecting that and my quality deer and bull tag points aren't quite in the range that I would have more hope. Moose is up to the top along with most everyone else so that is a crap shoot. I would really like to see my dad draw a moose tag before he just gives up.
-
the elk tag I really want had 3 of us top point holders last year with 26 points, one out of us three drew a tag. So this year I suspect it will be just two of us at 27 if the numbers don't change. Maybe one of us will draw, hoping its me! It's pretty depressing looking at the top point holders in the elk draws in several categories and MOST don't draw.

Wait until you call WDFW after the drawing and ask for your "Placement." Then they will tell you, you were number 004 drawn for a possible 003 permits (using those numbers as an example).
That happened to me a few times. Talk about a nutpunch.

Trust me, been there, done that!!! This same tag when I had 20 points I was the first loser!!!!!! killed me! But my wife drew a rifle rut tag that year, drew number 1. Did I mention she's lucky.

Do not give up on drawings! Drew the Huckleberry Antlered Moose last year. 24 pts. Have 24 pts for antlerless Moose and 19 for 65+ this year. 24 pts for Sheep Any Ram.
Have been drawn several Bull tags and Quality Bull, and Quality Buck.
Won the 2010 E Wa Raffle Elk Tag. 5 tickets for $30.00.
Health issues this year might force me to give up my Sheep Ram Tag that I'm getting this year, but hope not. 1st alternates B ware! Cancer is really reducing ability to get around and last years Moose hunt would not have been possible with out great friends and a chain saw winch! Have to face reality.
2 less Lattes a month and can afford to apply for special hunts.
I keep putting in but only 4 hunts that I can reasonably access .

Hmmm, I think you are on to something here!! I haven't checked once yet and plan not to until after all the Heck breaks loose on here. Is it just me or is the excitement a bit less this year when it comes to the draws?? I wonder cause it's been getting harder and harder to draw and people just expect not to draw???
-
Its gotten less and less exciting each year IMO. Either I'm getting older, moved to greener pastures(I.e. out of state), or have come to the reality that drawing odds in this state are poor for just about everything.
I actually think its a combination of all three in my case.
That being said I enjoy this time of year when the dream is still alive. I'm just not on pins and needles like I was many years ago.

Agree, the dreaming is fun, but year after year when it gets beat down, takes away the excitement. Just expect Not Selected anymore, and it's funny (not) how many friends i know that don't draw either! Usually know a couple good friends with hunts to look forward to, but not lately.

I've tried both, neither lives up to the hype.
I do still get butterflies when the results are out and I go to check officially though.

I still get level 10 pumped even though chances are tough , shoot with the fact I do so many people in our groups apps I get just as excited checking there to make those special calls to them

If I draw a goat tag you know I am calling you and heath "The professional goat recovery team" :chuckle:
-
I just can't get too excited anymore as I have been putting in for 15-20 years depending on the critter and have drawn a whopping 2 cow tags, an elk and a moose. Lucky as heck to draw the moose. I just historically have had terrible luck drawing tags, regardless of the state.
-
When this page does start to blow up I will probably just wait until I get home from work and after dinner go through the results. By that time they should have all of the categories updated and viewable.
In 2017 when I drew a quality bull tag results were posted in the morning for some categories. I saw that my daughter had drawn a cow tag and I had blanked on quality bull again. Later that morning I heard that not all categories had been released at one time, logged back in and saw that I had drawn the quality bull tag.
I am just going to wait this year until everything has calmed down and check it out. It's the new five years older and mellower me.

My tradition has been to wait till after work, and after about 2-3, 6-8 second pour whiskeys, I start checking. Usually check my dads before mine, then the wife’s, and on to mine. Usually very anti climatic, except in 2019 when I drew bull moose, then half hour later realized my buddy put in w me, I got to call him and let him know!! That was fun!

Here’s to hoping my 25 Bull points are enough. 😂

It’s a sad realization that after just a few years of applying out of state, your drawing odds are about the same (or better) as having applied for 20+ years in WA. And if you draw the out of state tag, it will be a way better hunt.
-
This will probably be the year I draw... I almost just put in for points options on all my draws because we are selling our home and buying another one this fall... crappy timing for it all, but it is what it is. lol :chuckle:
So there will be a period we will be living in our 5th wheel for a couple months on my inlaws property. So this will be the year we're drawn and successful and no room for anything! :chuckle:

I hear ya
25 pts for all Oils and Im moving to Idaho in July. This will be the year, my last chance. Ill figure it out :tup: Already coming back for a Mule Deer hunt
-
I am retiring and moving to Montana likely in 5-6 years. I pray for OIL but I will not leave Wa without spending my pts in all other categories. I will likely have to start appyling for much easier draws now to get them burned up in 5.
-
I am in the same boat
Need to get easier tag to get rid of my points soon
-
I love the high point holder thoughts of “burn points on east categories” really doesn’t seam like any are a easy draw anymore
-
There are no easier tags, with the number of applicants and limited number of tags, put in for the easy ones, I bet that you would be lucky to draw 1 or 2 in the next 5-6 years.
-
There certainly are easier to draw permits, some are much easier to draw than the most popular choices. Look in the Quality deer category. Some of the most popular permits are as bad as 1 in 800 odds, many are around 1 in 100. But there are some with much better odds. Especially looking at the west side quality permits, some are 1 in 10. A person with over 20 points would definitely have a good chance at drawing one of the blacktail quality permits.

True, but are they quality? I wouldn't even drive from the E side to hunt a lot of the W side quality deer tags. I live on the W side and don't put in for them.

Had a great conversation with Shaniqua yesterday, boys and girls.
We are going to get results very soon.
Take that to the bank!

You learn many things on huntwa. One of which is when timberstalker talks to shaniqua you can count on it being off by at least 2 weeks :chuckle: so my guess is June 9th!!!! Take that to the bank :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

They're in the quality category. It's up to each person to decide if it's worth their quality points or not. I applied for a couple of quality blacktail hunts last year with 8 points, but didn't draw.

I would say 2/3 or more of the state agrees with you.
If I can manage to pull a quality mule deer tag soon I plan on applying for the “easier” blacktail quality tags in the near future…. But with 20 points and 2-6% odds it could take a while.
-
The first two weeks is the best time there is to hunt blacktails. It's about the only time you'll ever see mature bucks moving in the middle of the day. I didn't apply this year because I have a muzzleloader tag but with a rifle tag I sure would. Especially with the price of gas this year, it would be nice to hunt close to home.
-
The only time I'd consider one of those tags is if I was hunting one specific buck
I think they are just a way to get folks to burn points...give me an early August rifle tag with no elk hunters & grouse hunters and then we can see some quality
Sure you might stumble into a good one but that last few days in October is pretty dang good, along with the late general and late archery...all in the same units
Just my thoughts :hello:
-
I’m in for Quality buck, Buck, moose and sheep with 15 points for each. Not very hopeful but you never know.
-
I don't think a person using up their points is a concern of the WDFW. They're just additional opportunities that they didn't use to offer. I think they're great permits to draw. Definitely not high success like some of the mule deer hunts, and access in some can be difficult unless you have a timber company access permit.
That's actually one reason I applied for blacktail quality permits last year- I had a Weyerhaeuser permit that cost over $300, and I thought an additional two weeks of hunting would help justify the cost, in my mind anyway. But, like I said, I didn't draw, and ended up shooting a decent 2x3 buck on October 29. I suppose if I would've had the quality permit, I likely would have passed up that buck, and who knows, probably ended the season with no buck at all. 🙂
This year I'm in for a muzzleloader mule deer permit in a group application with ten points. Maybe we'll get lucky but I'm sure not counting on it.
-
This might be a really dumb question given the odds, but what happens if someone draws two contradictory special hunts? Like say Quality and Bull Elk? Are you able to choose one and give back the other and get your points back?
Given my limited points this is like worrying about an asteroid stuffed with rabid dinosaurs hitting me. Some of you gents with a lot of points could potentially have it happen though--the drawing both, not the asteroid full of rabid dinosaurs.
-
You can now turn permits back in for no reason at all and have your points restored. I think last year was the first year for that option. But if you have two special elk permits with different seasons, you might just keep both so if you aren't successful in the first one you can hunt the second one. Unless you think your odds of success is 100% in one of them.
-
If you draw two permits one for quality Bull one for Bull you’re not allowed to return one my wife did the spheres ago was told no
-
If your wife was told no then she must have been talking to someone who didn't know about their new policy of allowing special permits to be returned at least two weeks before the season opens and having your points restored. It's on page 16 in the 2022 Big Game Regulations.
-
The new return permit policy is the only reason I put in for buck and quality 16/20. Been holding on to buck for 10 years without applying.

I’m trying to let my kid ride my 20 Buck Deer points, but we still don’t have very good odds.
-
Yes, the dumb turn back rule will make draw odds even longer! Using the same strategy since we can but I don’t like it.
-
Best thing Washington can do is make everyone chose only 3 categories a year to submit
-

I didn't realize that was an option if you drew two different permits. No more points only option for me next year. This is going to make everyones odds even longer and increase point creep.

Probably, it will show everyone’s cards instead of building points and jumping in every 10 or 15 years

Although I like the idea a lot, wdfw won't do that due to revenue. But it would probably help a lot.
-
I mean one choice per application, wouldn’t change revenue at all.
-
Gotcha. Yeah both options could make a difference in the draw. 1 or 2 choices. Or 1 or 2 catagories for deer and elk. Something needs a change. I personally liked our old draw system. 4 choices for deer and elk total.
-
Been said before but I think making people choose between OIL’s and deer/elk would help a bit, but also having people pay for the OIL tags in order to apply would also help with draw odds. I could see several thousand less applicants for OIL’s if they did this. The deer/elk draws are only getting worse, lots of ideas out there but in the end, going to an Idaho system of no points would be best. I think all states with the points system will have to eventually come up w something different. Wyoming is already getting out there so far that new hunters will just not apply, or shouldn’t. Max for Wyoming goes up every couple years or so from what I see. It was 13 when I drew in 18’, I think it’s 14 now? If WDFW just stopped the point system and let people draw out, that would be a good start.

Don't worry guys ...
I'm gonna draw an antlerd moose tag with zero points this year. First year applying.
What's my odds
How many would crap there pants if it happened for me.

With one point would be pretty damn lucky, but even w the 21 points I had in 19’ was pretty damn lucky. There were 13,000+ applicants when I drew, good luck. But yeah, you’d be a *censored* if you draw!!

What's my odds
How many would crap there pants if it happened for me.
With one point would be pretty damn lucky, but even w the 21 points I had in 19’ was pretty damn lucky. There were 13,000+ applicants when I drew, good luck. But yeah, you’d be a *censored* if you draw!!
Thanks :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Wishing everybody luck as well.
Maybe some guys put money into there gas tanks,instead of draws.
I know a few guys I work with said screw it,not putting in.
So more for us I guess.

I opted for points on my mule deer quality permit, fuel is way to expensive to do it this year.🤯
-
When I drew my bull moose permit, I drove over to the Eastside from the wet side every other weekend starting from June till October. Put on over 1,000 miles during my 10 days of hunting, can not imagine doing that at todays diesel prices! I’d need to refi the house!
-
With the gas prices I might be scouting during bear season

Been said before but I think making people choose between OIL’s and deer/elk would help a bit, but also having people pay for the OIL tags in order to apply would also help with draw odds. I could see several thousand less applicants for OIL’s if they did this. The deer/elk draws are only getting worse, lots of ideas out there but in the end, going to an Idaho system of no points would be best. I think all states with the points system will have to eventually come up w something different. Wyoming is already getting out there so far that new hunters will just not apply, or shouldn’t. Max for Wyoming goes up every couple years or so from what I see. It was 13 when I drew in 18’, I think it’s 14 now? If WDFW just stopped the point system and let people draw out, that would be a good start.
I like having states with different systems. I actually prefer a system like Arizona where 1/2 the tags are preference and 1/2 random. Everyone has a chance but you get rewarded for putting in year after year. I love Idaho’s system but don’t know if I would want every state that way. There certainly is no perfect answer. I am just thankful I have the funds to apply in every state I want, but feel bad for those that love to hunt and can’t.

Keep in mid the DFW has no interest in making odds better. Lowering numbers in the pool goes against the bottom line.

yeah, it is too bad it’s getting to be a costly endeavor! Heck, just applying for everything here as a resident for one family member is very expensive!

i know what you are saying, but being a witness before and talking with the group and the person who does the draw, they are concerned about odds getting worse. I pass along ideas when they come up, I think a few years ago I asked here and had a few ideas passed on. Getting things changed is another issue, that’s a tough process. But some things have been changed, and could be from this site, they know huntwa very well! They watch especially this time of year!

Look at the cash cow the department created. 60,000 people paying for and building points, very little drop out… continuous revenue.
At this point, improving odds would require people to pay a lot more in permit application fees to maintain the same stream of revenue which would be a tough sell.
I’d drop all my points (15 in oils, 16+ in buck and quality deer) for a no point system and applying for only 1 oil or deer or elk. Awesome odds for drawing the hunt people would want…. But no one would say yes because of all the points they have already accrued.
-
The pure random isn't really a cure all...lots of folks get repeatedly unlucky in those systems and I get to listen to them complain every year :chuckle:
Beings "they are listening"
I think for the time being id like 20% preference to the top holders..maybe keep adjusting this percentage until we curb off some points :dunno:
Smaller zones and more of them...I think most folks really only hunt a small area of each special area esp in the mtns on the west side..might need bigger areas on the east :dunno:
More buck tag opportunities on the west side
August blackatil hunts
Less rifle blacktail days in the rut
Winter elk hoof rot hunts..dang things are literally walking skeletons until they die...so sick of watching it
Oh...and I want faster draw results ;)

Good to hear they are willing to listen. Thanks for your involvement. :tup:

WDFW is clearly not worried about low draw odds, they just tanked them further by letting people return permits they don't want and giving them their points back. Now I, and everyone I know apply for everything without fear of losing points in all categories. It is the second most destructive thing they've done to draw odds next to splitting the categories in the first place.
I'll take low odds in all categories over slightly better than low odds in one category and 0% odds in others.
Setting aside a percentage for max point holders also permanently reduces the odds of everyone but the top point total or two. If 20% were set aside, your children and grandchildren would have access to 20% fewer tags in their lifetime. It would sure help the top point holder that already have the greatest chance compared to the rest, but they make up probably 2% of applicants. The other 98% would face further draw odds reduction. Is the person with 22 points that much less 'deserving' than the person with 25 points to have the tags they're eligible for reduced 20% for their lifetime?
One thing they could do is have more hunt choices to spread applicants out. You can't convince me they couldn't have 1 rut tag for deer and elk in every GMU and every weapon type. It wouldn't do squat to the population but would sure help out odds. Everything could be capped at 2 hunt choices as well. Even then you put in for the long odds first choice and the better odds second. Should really be 1 choice if we wanted to increase the odds on the best tags that most people bellyache about odds on.
Bottom line is too many people applying for too few permits. The reality is Washington is a general tag state. The opportunity here comes in the form of being able to hunt every year rather than special permits. Permits need to be thought of as lottery, and accept that most people will never draw the good tags in their lifetime regardless of their points.

Man I'm wishing my son could draw something.
I've been putting him in lots of stuff the past 4-5 years.
Never drawn anything,this has got to be his year.
I would gladly give up my chance at any oil tag.
To be with him on a moose hunt.

An OIL tag is a problem I'd love to figure out. Now if I could just draw one, any of them would do. :chuckle:

Just got a text from Shaniqua.
Draw is gonna happen very soon, like in about 168 hours.
You can take that to the bank.

My oldest daughter better start drawing some of these youth tags before she's not able to buy youth applications anymore.
Hurts less on your second kid... :chuckle: :chuckle:
First kid I was all "Mr. Application Strategy" :tinfoil: hmmmm.... is it better to put in for something he can draw and burn the points, or is it better to be in the pool your last year with more points than most other kids..... :dunno:
Next year, I will sit Little Pathfinder down and say "Son, this year you are going to eat 8 points in every youth category. This is what it will feel like most years that you send your money to WDFW. Now, let's talk about career fields that will get you a good job in WY, MT, CO or ID..." :chuckle: :chuckle:
I've had the same conversation with my daughter and she comes back and says she wants to be a teacher :bash:. "You know school starts the same month as hunting season right?" :dunno: :dunno:
I have a daughter who is an excellent teacher, has a masters. She has killed two of the biggest bucks in our camp over the last 10 years. My son played “ a professional sport”, he always makes it to camp, he’s killed a few dandies also. Being a teacher is the most noble profession I personally know. Thank your daughter for what she wants to do. I’m sure she will teach well and kill some bucks👍

I feel like if we don't have them by midday Friday something has gone wrong. There are multiple people at WDFW that are involved so if there was some sort of emergency with one of them or one of their family members I could see it getting delayed also. The Russians are busy so we shouldn't have a software issue.

Have been watching the raffle tag sales. There must be a Huge Elk out there. Last week elk tickets went from 2500 to 12000 in one day. About $9500. Lots of money on a gamble.
I drew the 2010 tag . 7104 tickets sold and I bought 5. Best $30 I ever spent.

Nice! Did you fill the tag? Any pics?

Filled my tag on the second day. Passed up about 7. Did not have much vacation so was happy to connect on a 365" at 235yds and close to a road in the Blue Mtns. Some said I should have held
out for a larger one but I am extremly happy. Have not mastered on how to post pictures. Too big for my small house so it's hanging at Sportsmans Warehouse in E Wenatchee. I'll spend another $30 this yr as always.

I am guessing that may be based on the amount of moisture we're getting :dunno:. Should be a good antler growth year. The food is chest high already...

Yup. My bad. Don't really know if the rest of the state is getting the same moisture we are here, but I hung trail cameras on Sunday and the vegetation is ridiculous, even out on the prairie.

There's been studiesshowing that the biggest factor for good antler growth is the health of the doe/cow during gestation of the buck. The real studs are going to be here around 3+years from now. All these does are getting fat and making healthy offspring.

So I have been a witness twice. Both times the witnessing part happened between 8-10am. The first time I was in Olympia and before I got home to seattle results were being posted. The second time was during covid and witnessing was done via Microsoft teams. That time results were a little later in the day.
The process is very very thorough with checks, double checks, cross checks.
When you are a witness you only witness a 2-3 of the draws and see that they do the exact same process for each draw. After you leave they finish up their work and start releasing the results a little at a time.
If there is a hitch in the process results would be delayed I am sure. If all goes well they should be out by close of business the day of witnessing or first thing the next morning.

witnesses giving any kind of tip in advance of the drawing is a big no no.
Remember the longer it takes to get results the longer you have hope of drawing. Truth is once results are out most dreams are crushed. Not trying to be a buzzkill trying to get everyone to enjoy the hope s little longer.

Why is that?
WDFW staff is busy getting the draw done. They don't need a bunch of phone calls saying "why isn't the draw done? So and so was a witness and says it was done already." Also the website is setup to handle a certain amount of traffic. The day results come out they get a ton of traffic, I am sure more traffic than get any other day of the year. I know Huntwa traffic is typically higher the days leading up to and just after the draw than any other day.
When the witness is done but results haven't been posted if everyone starts logging on to the site checking results it slows everything down and WDFW staff is trying to upload the results. Uploading the results takes a bunch of bandwidth. If that bandwidth is full of people logging on to check their results it makes loading the results that much tougher. Systems crash with that much activity all at once.
It just makes it easier for them to do their job if they can get the information uploaded and then let people know the results are posted. You will notice that you won't actually get an email saying results are posted until the afternoon or evening that they were posted even though the results may have been posted early that day or the day before.

Just did a deep dive in hunt washington, and the drawings weren't posted until June 21st at 4:40 pm in 2018. We may have a few more weeks of it follows that, and the slow return on multi-season :bash:

It takes a special relationship with Shaniqua.

If we are looking at averages and I did my math right Friday would hit the total day average of 22 days between the last day to apply and the results getting posted… next Tuesday or Wednesday would hit the 17.5 work day average…. Where will we fall?
Besides the obvious “not selected”

multi season elk tag, thought with 11 I was in this year, but nope. I’ll keep trying.

I voted for today too, but primarily because it is 6/9 and I figured it was Shaniqua’s favorite day.

Still haven't heard from any witnesses that they are showing up today, so I am guessing not today at all. I am confident it won't be until Wednesday or Thursday of next week. In past years, someone has at least always piped up that they were going to witness on x-day and the results were either that day or the next.

For sure, but there is enough witnesses called that we have had at least one every year on this site, I can't expect that would change this year. Maybe the people are just doing a better job of not discussing it, but I would be willing to bet results aren't today or tomorrow.

More than likely the current witness isn't a member of this forum as I'm guessing only 5 percent or so of Washington sportsmen are.
-
Or maybe the witness is giving subtle hints that they are the witness, while also throwing out mis-information as to not give away when they are going to be the witness. :dunno:
-
Backdoors up!!!
-
I don't remember getting a heads up on the forum from a witness before the draw happens. Maybe as it was happening, or just after it happened. Or if we have it's certainly not common. After all, the witnesses are not supposed to talk about it beforehand. So I'm still counting on it being today or tomorrow.

Backdoors up!!!
Backdoors always up in the Hunt Wa Community it seems. Careful fellas. Watch out for this one. :chuckle:

I heard the 15th.

I thought the last few years the draw comes out early in the morning. Because I’ve been headed to work up in Ellensburg from Yakima and usually take the canyon. And it always happens while I’m in there and get texts that the draws done and I can’t get on to check for awhile. So I’m hoping for tomorrow, but thinking more like next week. Just remember that the longer it takes the longer you actually have a chance!

I'm able to sign in on both my and my son's accounts, but no movement on either.

I've had no issues logging in. Keep checking my daughter's as she's the most likely to draw something, and nothing has changed yet.
-
Yeah, not looking like it will be today, all my points are still there.
-
The only thing that changed on mine was the second deer points going to zero. Other than that it is nothing like it was the past couple years.
-
All my points are there. Strangely I seem to have gone from 0 up to 2 points in the "deer and elk 65 and up" hunts... which is strange since I'm in my 20's.

If you draw it every year, it would always say 0 :dunno:

It stated there was 1 point there this morning. On the computer it has Accrued points-Bonus Points-Points.... it was 1-0-1 this morning

Maybe they just caught that and corrected it :dunno:

Hmm...interesting. Technically, you get one point for this year added right as the draw happens. Sometimes we were able to see the points get added, but other years they took away the ability to even view our points as the draw was happening.

I'm beginning to lose hope for seeing results today.

I went and checked and now I feel dumb... like someone saying, "you've got something on your shirt." I couldn't help but look and get flicked.

My page is definitely going a bit nuts when I logged back in just then. Everything zeroed and I have no active privileges! :rolleyes:

Next week it is! :chuckle:
-
I'm thinking it has to be tomorrow if its not today...otherwise some real backsliding from the past few years turnaround times.
-
Nothing new for me......
-
If WDFW put a dollar access fee to the draw results page from June 1 to June 17 they could fund anything they wanted...
-
I think it might be happening. Mine just changed to no available hunt applications. Could be a false alarm but looks like the gears are turning
-
Almost to page 30 so I know we're getting close :chuckle:
-
Well this is depressing.
No draws today.
We are getting slammed in the spring bear comment by anti-hunters.
The only good today is got another cam setup,some firewood,and spotted a small black bear in a cut.
-
No inside information here other than past experience. My guess is if nothing has happened yet today it is not going to. I hope it happens tomorrow. Maybe they are waiting until next week to give me a great fathers day gift for the weekend.

Still nothing. There's always next week.

Sometimes I regret that,and other times it was better that way. Cause I got a big mouth sometimes. :chuckle: :chuckle:

It's tough but it pays off. I kept quiet the first time until after the draw. Did my best to explain how it all worked here on the forum. Then got a call back on an emergency request because a couple of witness backed out last minute during covid. That one was easier to keep my mouth shut because of the short notice. The good news is I got some additional questions answered and again after results were out I came back on here to explain the new stuff I learned.
Fingers crossed tomorrow is the day.

I wouldn't be too hard on Timberstalker. He has Shaniqua whispering sweet nothins in his ear on a daily basis. That just might cloud his judgement a little.

With as much as I get fired up for this every year, I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to start hunting and entering her into the draw. If I still had hair, I'd be ripping it out in anticipation for her. I'm envious of you all who already hunt with your kids. Good luck to all!

I woke up feeling "Not Selected" today! I think it will happen!

It's a great feeling to hunt with your children!
Started my daughter when she was 15. That was 20 yrs ago. Time flies quickly.
I get a few tears when thinking back seeing the photos on my wall. 3pt mule deer her I'st year and a cow elk the next.
Miss the times together as she has moved to Alaska, but her husband does not hunt. Sad.
Have you given any thought as to the caliber of riffle your child/children would be using?
I chose a 7mm/08 in a Rem700 MTN. Fantastic set up for youths and small structured persons.
Hope you have some " Great Times " as I have had.

Hunting with my son are my favorite. Next year my grandson will be tagging along. Can’t wait.!!

Yep. Started both boys at 12 years old, and 30+ years later we still hunt together. The memories and stories are priceless.
We chose Browning A-Bolt rifles in .30-'06 as their first rifles. They still carry those Brownings, and they are as accurate as ever.
We put in for the permit draws every year, and as partners for some of them. Hopefully we will be rewarded this year.

grandsons first draw last year. Desert unit. 7mm mauser. Grandaughter says she's getting the same hunt for her first draw this year. first rule of the draw is optimism right. then losers lounge. lol
If either of them draw anything it will be like a free pass out the lounge for me.
-
Hunting with the kids is the way to go. My hunting the last 3-4 years consist of the kids. I have been grossly unsuccessful due to the amount of time I invest in my kids hunts. They on the other hand have been plenty successful which makes me amazingly successful. Bear, turkey, moose, deer.....all they need now is an elk. Hopefully this is the year for them to get that marked off the bucket list. (full disclosure....the moose was a Canada hunt...they are not that lucky. :chuckle:)

Wdfw just needs to go through the process and the results will come out. They watch the hunt wa community to determine the results. First the jokes. Then little tension and few complaints, then complete anger as impatient hunters want to see results. At that point give it a week and bam results are posted when least expected.

Not today for sure, hopefully it even happens next week, who knows with this state. There isn’t much it does right.

One of you guys might know. Did they change it so you have to have a wild id to buy points of the OIL permits?

They changed it so youth had to have hunters Ed a few years back not sure for if you just had a wild id if you could I’d assume no but I dunno

Just checked all my points are still intact.
Today is not looking good.
If they where smart....they would drop it right before the weekend to avoid all the calls and emails and such.

Like I said in the voting thread. It took them like two weeks extra just to do the multi season draws and that’s extremely simple. This is a new system this year and I’m guessing they don’t have the bugs out yet. Hopefully next week, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s longer. Grab a beer, and have a relaxing weekend!

Like I said in the voting thread. It took them like two weeks extra just to do the multi season draws and that’s extremely simple. This is a new system this year and I’m guessing they don’t have the bugs out yet. Hopefully next week, but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s longer. Grab a beer, and have a relaxing weekend!
I thought that also, but the had issues with the system for multi that were fixed in the main draw. I know in the multi we couldn’t select a choice and submit. We had to call after the deadline so they could get on and do it for us. Sounded like anybody that wanted to change to points option had to do that. Was hoping that the multi was their small scale practice run of the new system and worked all the bugs out.

This seems like the case every year now. Is it really a new system every year?

There is absolutely no reason the draw should take this long every year. There are multiple states that post draw results 10 days after it closes for submission. It's a computer program not a hand draw.

Name the states that post within 10 days? I don’t think that is true at all.

It takes a long time to go through and pull all the hunt wa names out of the hat! :chuckle:

There a couple states that can be around 2 weeks some years and some species (example Idaho OILs) but there isn’t multiple states pumping them out in 10 days. Most states are closer to 3 weeks and WA typically meets that but likely won’t this year.

They did say that the results should be out sometime in the middle of June, so I am banking on Wednesday the 15th. Did go back in hunt WA., and we didn't get the results until the 22nd of June in 2018, so anytime before that is a bonus

I'm just waiting on lab results and Washington.

Why is it different every year? Honest question. Not talking the specific date, but the amount of days from permits due to draw.

Washington’s is June 30th. Anyone that needs a set date that’s it. Just log in anytime on the 30th and get your results. The rest of us that are more flexible may know a little sooner than the “set date” guys but everyone gets what they want.
It’s pretty simple you can have a set date or a variable sooner date, but not a set sooner date.

Saying the "end of June" is not same as picking a specific date up front. My point is that there is no reason they can't just pick a date. But the fact that they have never done the draw on the last date of June is consistent with their track record i suppose.
-
Theyre a public agency so dont hold your breath on anything, end of june is june 30th so...... theyre saying "results will be out by june 30th but could be out sooner maybe" in a typical PC/CYA public agency way.

Has anyone tried calling them to see when we can expect the draw results? Might be worth a shot :IBCOOL:

I just went back and looked at the Multiseason thread.
Draw was 19 days (13 business days) after the deadline.
The "Special Hunt" section was never "taken down" during the draw process. Results just showed up just before 11am.
Today we are 25 days (16 business days) past the deadline.

Pretty sure deadline was 5/24/22 at 11:59 pm. So we are actually still 9 hours from being 20 days, if I am wrong it may have been the 26th and not quite 18 days. Not sure how you came up with 25 days.

Something I haven’t seen in this whole thread is kids… at the rate things are going if the state doesn’t start putting an emphasis on kids they will have limited interest as they become adults with how limited the state is with tags. 🤷♂️🤷♂️ I have 30 bull points but would rather my son draw a tag!

so a kid needs a draw tag? was unheard of when I was growing up. Kids have 0 restrictions on getting a bear, cougar, deer and elk tags. They draw a tag great.

I feel the same way about all permits. We have OTC for all those animals, permit odds would greatly go up if we had a little discernment and only could pick 1 species.
And this is coming from a guy who has drawn second deer, an antlerless elk, a bull, quality bull, quality deer in this system… would have never applied for those tags if I had to choose 1 species to apply for… well until I drew the dream hunt, then I would have to figure out which is next.

In all honesty they should just shut the whole site down so their work and put it back up when finished. Probably make things easier on them.
They push the submit button then instantaneously switch to hunt wa. At least they did when I was there. It was pretty entertaining
And the crowd goes wild!!!!! Would be cool to watch them do it. Do you know how they select witnesses.
I was connected through a previous witness. A buddy of mine that may or may not know a witness to this years draw🤣🤣🤣

That may be what it comes to. Just not sure how they do that. Just put up a page that says "site down for maintenance" or something. There is so much that has to happen. They have to pull points from winners, restore points to losers, update winners of being eligible to purchase tag they drew and all of this has to happen for every license holder in every category. It is literally a metric blank ton of data going through the server coupled with thousands of impatient Huntwa Shaniqua fanboys trying to see not selected.

It literally needs a spreadsheet, any competent programmer should be able to make a simple program that runs almost instantly. The fact that they can't manage to do that however, is unsurprising.

I only check this site. Once this blows up I know it’s time to get the whiskey ready for the loser lounge

Holy cow...at this rate we may just get to the 80 page mark before results are posted :chuckle:

That's exactly right. I seriously doubt that the process is done manually. That's what they have computers for.

Yeah, after hearing the anecdotes of how the draw is run I think it’s time for an overhaul. This should be something that’s automatically run at 12:01am after the draw is closed and then results are available, at most, an hour later. It should be something that takes less than 24 hours including a verification the following day.
Somewhere, someone’s job is dependent on the draw being in the stone ages so that’s where it stays lol.

Not sure what their website/database is based on, but I’m a database manager for our database that has a web interface. When we are pushing major updates to our Production environment, it is one checkbox that takes the entire system offline. Anybody that’s currently logged in gets booted on a page refresh, and anyone trying to log in gets a message that we are down for maintenance/upgrades.
Seems like WDFW should just go that route.

Everythings gone. Its gonna happen today. Getting drawn for it all

That's what I think it will come to.
I think the witness thing has become a double edged sword. They want to get more witnesses so more people understand how it all works and get their questions answered but more witnesses mean more loose lips which increases traffic and slows the process down and potentially crashes the system.

Remember the days when people wouldn’t lose their collective minds checking the site over and over.😂 You just would get a call from a buddy that checked his mail before you and got his post card from the game department with maybe 5 options. Moose, goat, sheep, deer and elk.

Ah, the good ole days.
-
My guess is that draws follow the 80/20 rule, which ends up more like a 98/2 rule: 98% of the work is done in 2% of the time, while dealing with the 2% exceptions takes an excessive amount of time. I also suspect a fair amount of time is done making sure the results are correct. Can anyone say “REDRAW!”?

If that is true, it's kinda sad. They must run the whole dang thing on a Commodore 64 (if ya remember what that was).

How this still happens in 2022, I'll never understand.... It's really not nearly as much data as people think it is. Everything is relative, and their server should not be crashing anymore :bash: This should be a walk in the park. No point in complaining though I guess. Back to work I go.

Why can’t people just wait? Also don’t know how they can’t just prevent people from logging in until they are ready. Sad, and now delayed longer.

No its not true. Hold steady folks. Draw is complete and results are being loaded. Site will go live again this afternoon.

I don’t understand all the smoke and mirrors. Just put an announcement out that you’re running the draw on “X” day and to check after “X” time. Give yourself a few hour buffer to make sure you can complete it before people start checking. :dunno:

Postponing due to too many people checking is the fake news. The witness may or may not have been sent away and draw delayed, but it's due to something else on their end not working or crashed.
I've checked the licensing site 124 times the past 2 minutes and has not been down ;)

Not meant to be against you, Hirshey, but nobody got told to come back later. Results will be posted later today is exactly what we were told.
The offer was made to come back and watch more later if we wanted to and if we were available because of the time it took to be able to see what we saw. We were only able to see a few of them because the system was so bogged down.

"Sorry kids, Christmas is being delayed this year. Too many of you insisted on peeking in the corners of your package. Now your parents have confiscated everyone's package and hidden them where you'll never find them. We'll bring the packages out when you've learned your lesson! Besides, most of you will be getting coal anyway, so why the rush?"

I don’t know how anyone is seeing anything. Neither my daughters or my profiles even show anything under licenses and permits it show a link for hunting privileges which is all blank, harvest reporting, and raffle tickets. No special permit options for either of us. Hoping that’s a good sign.

Perfect. Thanks for confirming. I thought so but wanted to make sure there wasn't some weird stipulation.
-
View Print Active Privileges does not show my draw. If I go to purchase a tag I can purchase my 2nd deer tag, but it does not show in Active Priveleges.
So maybe I still have a chance at an elk/deer/OIL tag. :)

My daughter just now had a youth deer permit show up. This means she'll get to hunt the weekend before general season opens. (GMU 667)
Looks like nothing for me but that's exactly what I expected.

Well, mine just shows I drew a Henry Mtns quality tag. Can't even remember applying for that?
How many points did you have? I was going to put in for that hunt, but settled on the Strip instead.
4 if I remember correctly, because I drew that Jicarilla tag in 2018.
Gotcha, I am always a day late and a dollar short on the draws. I had 3 points for the Strip, thought I was a shoo in. Should draw for sure next year. Unless the point creep gets me.
I hunted Region G, The Strip, and The Henrys last year.
Got tired of wind and sunburn.
Looking forward to WA this year.

It shows that my kids drew a youth annual combination fish under 15. Thats still pretty cool
-
Looks like second deer for me. Curious which unit I pulled. Anyone seeing Antlerless elk or regular bull pop up yet?

Is there anyway to see what you put in for. Changed the wife’s weapon last minute and now I can’t remember what units I put in for. And she drew.

No I don't. I didn't plan on hunting on Weyerhaeuser. I wish though, it would probably be a lot easier. Although this way I'll be closer to home and won't have to burn up hardly any of that $6 gas!

Two or three years ago I know they let the youth in for that one weekend, even if they didn't have an access pass. I just don't know if they have continued to do that.

Yeah I had heard of that as well. I guess I'll try emailing them and asking about it. Especially if she drew the buck tag.

Ahahhahhhhh. What happened, in all day mandatory training and this thread jumped like 30 pages.
Off to fishhunt site to look for results
-
Some of you are seeing points but its not available to me yet.
-
If you have antlerless elk harvest report, did your points also go down to zero?
I have the harvest report and zero points.
As someone else mentioned, I have 2 tabs for harvest reports.
-
My kids youth elk just gained a point in last 2 minutes

My daughter's just now is showing a youth elk permit. And the deer youth permit is still there. (in Harvest Reports not Active Privileges) :IBCOOL:

How do I see prior points. I have no special permits review tab. If there's another channel.... LINK please?
Log in to your account, then try this: https://fishhunt.dfw.wa.gov/customer/home/points
That works!
i didn’t draw anything, but my moose point didn’t show up this year?? One behind all my other oil permits. Maybe I’m an alternate? Gotta have some wishful thinking. But second is the first loser!

I have 25 points now, instead of the 24 I used to have, but that's it. :dunno:
-
Andddd that’s a wrap for me. Bull moose just went up a point.
-
My harvest reports only show bear and cougar. Seems weird as I show nothing for deer, elk or turkey even though I bought tags for all of them. :dunno:
-
If you have antlerless elk harvest report, did your points also go down to zero?
I have 2 antlerless tags too and 0 pts in my point lookup

When do all the "Not Selected" show up?

Looks like I will be heading back to my old stomping grounds. I drew the one and only Dayton Muzzleloader Quality Bull. Took me 22 points, but I finally drew it. Now I just hope the wolves left me one nice bull.

Just plain old "not selected" all the way around for me.

One out of sixteen a hit with 8 points for a cow tag. Solo for Nile early archery. Does that keep me out of the LL?

Lucked out and drew an Olympic muzzy bull tag as my 4th choice though I don't remember putting in and think I fat fingered it. :dunno: Anyways after having over 20 points in all the OIL and quality categories, I'll enjoy the opportunity to at least hunt a decent muzzy bull tag. Now time to start my research as I have never hunted the area.
-
2 buck tags, 3 second deer and a cow tag for us.

Dad pulled a rifle cow tag and I got second deer for steptoe. I’ll probably return the second deer and spend my time lookin for a buck and huntin elk with my dad!

Muzzy cow for the Taneum. Haven't hunted that unit for years. Not my first choice but I'll settle :)
-
I drew a December 10-25 Second deer antlerless for Desert. Not real excited for a doe, but always wanted to see the bucks in that unit since that’s where I always apply for. Guess I’ll get to scout for 2035 when maybe I’ll draw that tag.

My dreams are still hanging by a thread, having a couple tall whiskeys to soften the blow of “not selected”before I look! After 27 years, you just give up! Lol. Son in law should be here soon and then after he catches up, the draw party begins. I really do want to wish all those who got to see “selected” today a big congrats! I’ll say that before the whiskey kicks in and my sour puss takes over! :chuckle: Wait all year for this, then all years and has turned into decades…. No poacher points here. So far I haven’t heard of any tags being drawn for my number 1 choices, 🙏🙏🙏. Check back later, congrats to the lucky ones!

Almost embarrassed to say… Son and I drew Montana deer tags. Mom drew a YTC disabled any elk tag and I drew a peaches ridge bull tag and a rattlesnake mountain second elk tag. Going to be a busy fall. Super excited for my mom as after 20 years of applying for everything this is her first time with a bull tag. Also my first time pulling a bull tag. Time to sharpen the knives and get scouting. Good luck to all in their hunting this year.

I drew the Blue Mtn. Foothills Late Muzzy tag, the Blue Creek Muzzy tag and a Blue Creek Antlerless tag.
So, I called to see if I could surrender two of them and just keep the late tag. I did this thinking it would free those up for others to be awarded. I was sad to find out that while I can get my points back if i surrender those tags, nobody else will draw them. So, I took 3 tags out of the pool and will only be keeping one. Kind of a bummer it goes like that. Wonder how often that happens????

Well it's not the Q-tag I had last year that I had to turn in because of the fire in the Bethel unit, I did draw a anterless elk in the Bumping unit. Hope I can fine some not burned up areas in there. Headed up in July to hopefully get my cameras from last year in the Bethel unit and now do some scouting in the Bumping unit. We used to hunt this unit back a few years ago when it was spike/anterless for archery.

I think Utah (or maybe it’s another state) does something like that. They have a sequence that the draw goes (Ex. Antlerless, Bull, Quality), and once you draw one, you are out of the next pool. I would support that. You could still buy points in all the categories, but would do something to improve draw odds at least a little.

Exact Situation where and why I think if we draw one tag we shouldn’t draw anymore. For that season with the limited amount of tags , ya the book says they can doesn’t mean they have to redistribute
I think Utah (or maybe it’s another state) does something like that. They have a sequence that the draw goes (Ex. Antlerless, Bull, Quality), and once you draw one, you are out of the next pool. I would support that. You could still buy points in all the categories, but would do something to improve draw odds at least a little.
Yes, it is Utah.

I'll be hoping for one of those Permits that got turned back in. :chuckle:
Whidbey second deer for me, but my buddies drew some good one's so it will be a fun season.
I drew the Whidbey second deer last year. So I was a big fat zero going in to it this year. No draw. LOL...
Good luck!
