Title: A word from WDFW about the Alkali- change your choice!
Post by: trophyhunt on May 13, 2025, 01:59:45 PM
Change your choices if you put in for the alkali, if not, you will slow down the drawing process!!  You will still see submitted on your screen if you don’t, then they’ll have to take it off your choice and you won’t get a hunt submitted in its place.  Was asked to pass this along by the permit supervisor.

Also please change your choice if you put in for colockum. For the same reason.

I should have mentioned this from the beginning, by the permit supervisor.  I won’t mention her by name but should be easy to find out.

You need to reword your original post Jerry. It currently reads like you're just trying to get people to not apply :chuckle:

So the state is already issuing excuses for why the draw is going to take longer this year?

On another note I hear they are planning on massive immigration raids and mountain warfare training this September through November in the Naches area. Probably be best for everyone to change their tags to westside while you still can.

I’m not sure why they wouldn’t just run the draw and change the permit numbers for those hunts to zero available. If you have it as your first choice and your name gets drawn first you just get the your next choice if available. :dunno:

Good question, I will pass that along today.  I'm sure after the wdfw email or notice went out most will be changing their choices now anyway??

According to WDFW and the YTC the closure is due to the federal hiring freeze not allowing the YTC being able to backfill police positions which check-in hunters and military readiness training.

Probably. Plus they already know who filed for those permits went out so they should be able to email those few who already put in and get them changed before the draw. And of course my solution should work also. I’m just shocked their first response was “ this is going to slow down the draw”. It really shouldn’t based on what I know about the draw.

Are you really shocked?  Has our state ever not taken advantage of an opportunity to blame the feds for their slow responses?

As of May 7th to get base access now you need a passport or the preferred enhanced ID which can be scanned at the gate. The Passport can't and takes longer to process to get your pass. Military and civilian base employees all need the ID upgrade.
