maybe it still is a bit of a secret...whodathunkit after all the drama about it on here.
I did not apply so I can't try it.
Title: Re: Spring bear results posted

I just went in the "back door." 

"Draw not run yet" is what I see.

Post by: winston2789 on March 17, 2010, 12:28:59 PM
Thanks Bobcat, I suprised that the backdoor still works after all the people calling the game department over the last few years with all the complications, But the backdoor isn't final results, gotta remember until posted. So if it shows successful don't get too excited   :P
Title: Re: Spring bear results posted
Post by: bobcat on March 17, 2010, 12:34:37 PM
If mine shows successful all I'll get is a point anyway, as that is all I applied for! So, won't be getting too excited either way.

Yes, I to looked today.  The FAQ on the WDFW web-site that we are supposed to be notified by the last friday in March, so I thought the back door would show results in the next day or so.

Post by: whacker1 on March 22, 2010, 08:29:37 PM
If you click on submit application as if you were going to apply for your permits, it will take you to your historical list of results from prior draws.  the current year should say "Draw not run yet".  It will change to "Selected" or "Not Selected" when they run the draw, but prior to receiving mail notification

I'll bet BTKR's got it.  There's probably crap that needs to go in the game reg that they haven't hashed out, and they don't want to publish the results of a 2010 hunt draw until they do. 

I told you it's gonna be a July hunt...

It's been quite a few years now, that when you submit an application for a special permit, there is a box you can check that says something like "notify me of the results by email."  I always check that box but have never been notified of any results by email and neither has anybody else that I know of.
Title: Re: Spring bear results posted
Post by: winston2789 on March 24, 2010, 01:18:25 PM
I wouldn't hold your breathe if your checking by email, the backdoor is the first way to find out, but I agree maybe they fixed the back door. I don't understand why it takes so long or how they could have problems?  :dunno:

http://wdfw.wa.gov/faq/wpsfaq.htm (http://wdfw.wa.gov/faq/wpsfaq.htm)

     What is the value of building up points?

A: Building up points is very much like putting more application cards into the barrel. Those that have more cards in the barrel have an advantage over those that have less. The more points a person has built up for a species over time, the greater are the chances that his/hers will be selected.   

AHHHHH I get it now, so you can have max points and still not draw, ohh that sucks >:(
