Title: Anybody got their permit in the mail yet?
Post by: MDGrand on June 20, 2012, 12:55:58 PM
I have read some posts around the board over the course of the last few days of people getting thier elk permits they were drawn for....

Well, I just called the WDFW to confirm that mine had been sent and they said they are not being sent until July 15th.

is that right?

I think your talking about the "invcentive" tags they send out for reporting your harvest, ect..... Those have been sent out I believe.

"Draw" tags havent been sent yet.

My permits were delivered this morning, along with detailed maps of my permit areas, showing areas of high damage or where animals are spotted on a regular basis by employees out and about, master key or combos depending on the individual gate, and a voucher for any Shell gas station for $500.00 in gas money to assist in my hunt.

I have to admit, I was very surprised, even shocked, when, here it is, June 21st and the Easter Bunny was still out and making his rounds!!!!    :IBCOOL:

I got something in the mail today. Doesn't say which permit I drew just says dear successful permit applicant, and goes on talking about some access programs they are working on for my hunt. Interesting I got this before I got the official letter saying I drew the tag.

I got a notice like this for elk hunting access on Weyerhauser property, it was a postcard from WDFW, I got it on Saturday.

Somebody should email them and let them know we dont need the stupid post card, just an email and permit.  Save
that money for something else. I did get my postcard

I agree just send the license and what ever else they need to tell us, why waste the time and money. OH forgot :bash: :bash: its government, lets waste the money not put it to good use

I don't mind the postcard and some people really seem to like it. It does provide some info that may be of help or interest to some hunters.

What I hate is that WDFW continues to pay too much for postage and does not use cost containment measures that are available to them.  A couple of years ago I mentioned this to the head of MH and he told me that it didn't matter because they get reimbursed for postage.  :dunno:

Congrats Bradslam, 3786 people applied for that tag, only four drew and you were one of them!  Awesome!
I was one of them (unsuccessful) but did draw the regular season rifle tag as a second choice.
Title: Re: Anybody got their permit in the mail yet?
Post by: Elkaholic daWg on July 06, 2012, 03:18:47 PM
Mine came today as well

As did ours, only 17 years here, but it is also an antlerless Colockum tag which we would probably not even put in for if the draw was in the old format.
 All that griping I did about the change

Thanks.  I showed my wife those numbers as well, so she understands the significance of drawing that tag.  I'll need to justify the time away scouting.  Congrats to you, by the way.  Certainly not a bad second choice tag to have. :)

Thanks.  Believe me, I will be doing everything I can to make it happen in September.  I've already gotten my shift trades so that I'll be off for the entire seven days, plus the three days immediately before it opens.
