Probably about to be popular with every newborn as well. :chuckle:
Just think of all the money the WDFW could make! I'm sure they wouldn't mind if people want to put their babies in for moose and sheep tags. :rolleyes:
But seriously, I don't know if you could do it. I think that hunter's ed number has to be on record with the WDFW in order to purchase anything that's hunting related.

you don't need a hunting license to apply and I can't find anything that says that you must be eligible to do so. It says if you are drawn then you must buy your stuff by a certain deadline but they would be applying for a ghost point with no chance of being drawn.
I know that they'll need a wild ID # but you can get that with a fishing license.
maybe i'll give it a try and confuse everyone at the store :chuckle:

All you can do is try. I thought about trying but my kids don't have fishing licenses. I would try it from your computer at home instead of at a store. :chuckle:

I'm just surprised it's not something the WDFW would actually promote, in order to sell more applications.

There is always somebody trying to cheat the system. :rolleyes:
how would it be cheating the system if you're paying for the apps?

How do you buy a fishing license for someone that is underage. As they don't need one right. Could be a loophole for sure though.
Your kids don't need fishing licenses but they do need catch record cards. Isn't the wild id on those as well? :dunno: I might have to try as well.

As of the last couple of years you have not been able to put in for points for any species without a hunter education number. That is not to say there is not a workaround on that one as well, but I'll let all of you figure that one out yourself.
Remember a few years back when WDFW implemented the new computers? We went from the yellow sticker licenses to the crappy plasticy paper that fades in 10 days. When they first implemented the system, there were so many glitches that you could purchase points for anyone, even if they didn't have a hunt education number. Also, the first year they had the new computers, you could purchase your points for elk and deer before you picked up the tag. As long as you had paid for the tag, you could buy the application. Well, before you pick up the tag, you haven't chosen the weapon type or eastern or western. There was about 2 weeks where people were applying for any hunt they want because the system couldn't recognize which tag you had (because you hadn't chosen yet). That was really nice. Now you need a multiseason permit to do that...
Good luck in the draws everyone!
