the fact that Washington waits til June is just mind numbing to me . I know a few guys that have to put in for Vacation by june 1st. It's the technology age for peets sake ! Oh well my venting is done and I'll start peeking around the 10th in hopes.:yeah: I have to have mine in by May 15th, so I just put in for all the weeks I want to cover my seasons dates to lock them in. Then after the results come out and I'm not selected I switch a week to summer so I can vacation with the family, but then I have to choose a week nobody else has during the summer. It's a little game I have to play.

We pick our vacation in November of the previous year, so have to do some juggling if I draw a good tag

I'm more interested in Utah and Montana than I am here. Here I essentially grabbed 5 hundred dollar bills and burned them.
Isnt it the worst feeling in the world! I dont mind spending the money in Idaho or Montana but here in makes me sick to my guts :twocents:

You guys just need to get different employers it sounds like. Don't you remember when the results came on a postcard delivered to your mailbox sometime in August?

At my job they do the vacation schedule in December and i have to put down all my vacation for the entire next year. But once it is final i can go back and change weeks if it is available or swap with guys that are willing. Still sucks putting down weeks of vacation for a tag that i will probably wont draw, just to change it to a time when i can hunt.

Okay, I know I don't post that often... But I see this EVERY year. What the hell is Back door Results? I know it has to do with the draws but huh?There isn't a real back door to get the results, all it is- you go to the wdfw web page and just act like your putting in for your permits. Enter your info and your hunt choices will show up, either say drawn not run yet or not selected or selected. It doesn't tell you what you drew if you did draw, just what the results are before they are official.
Post by: Bigtine96 on May 23, 2012, 09:05:24 PM
Wow. Seriously? It makes you guys feel sick to apply for special hunts in this state?Ohh I'll continue putting in, that is until I finally draw my quality hunts that i've been putting in for the last 15+ years. Then no more
I'm sure you know the solution to that problem, right? Don't apply! :dunno:

I will always put in for the draw. The fact that a lot of guys will stop doing, it just increases my odds.
Amen! Im perfectly fine with everyone not applying and paying to go out of state.

Yet another tidbit learned from Hunt-Wa.... :IBCOOL:
Post by: Fireant11 on May 24, 2012, 09:52:43 AM
As for it impacting vacation, I'm pretty lucky. I hunt with my manager. When I started reporting to him a couple of years ago and we got to talking hunting, he told me, "I don't care if it involves jumping out of a tree onto the animal's back with a knife in my mouth; I'm in!" Getting time off to hunt is NO problem!!! :tup:

That was the last time I drew a bull tag!!!! :chuckle: I remember sitting on the front steps or standing in the driveway looking for the mail lady.... Everytime my dog barked I ran to the window to see if it was her!!! Then it finally came.... My Dad opened his first... Then I....... Man it was like Christmas..... :chuckle:

Dad was a little disappointed to say the least.... :chuckle: But still happy for me.... He might have been a little happier.... Work wouldn't let him take 2 1/2 weeks off for this hunt and some deer.... He went anyways.... :chuckle:

Hell yeah, I remember. I remember waiting 12 years in a row for my Manastash cow tag to come in the mail and it never did, in those same 12 years my dad got drawn for 2 Manastash cow tags and a Taneum cow tag. :dunno:

Now I keep a file of all my points for all the states I apply in.
My buddy got screwed also. His and his Dad's names are the same so when they created the new system his info was all messed up. They had to create him an entire new ID in the system and assign him a new WILD ID and all. :bash:
