:yeah:I'm thinking you may be right, who would expect the simple multi draw would take so long.  My confidence level is very low.

I see the state loosing lots of revenue in the next 5-10 cause of the permit point system.  I am down to a few permits and will cut the family this year back too. I'm done spending 100$ per person in permits to draw nothing. Waste of money, settling on hunts that are mediocre and areas you don't ever go, cause that's the only permit  options given.  If you bull hunt the westside, might as well not even put in.

Amen to this!!!!  As people actually draw and then go out on an excited hunt that ends up sucking half the time they will not re-enter the madhouse!!!  I stopped putting my kids and family in for a lot of special permits.  Cost will keep soaring out of control.  with the point creep, your odds of Moose, sheep, and goats is going down every year no matter how many points you have.  Money better spent in other states if you ask me!  Thank heavens I have a great general deer spot in this state.  If I ever loose that im done with Washington for good!

I wouldn't recommend doing this.  Until the new regs come out, you're not going to know for sure that your hunt #'s are correct.
I remember a member did this a few years back and the hunt #'s changed. With the potential for severely decreased permit numbers, I'd wait till the newest reg's come out.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Ya I agree. I'm definitely going to wait but I just find it funny that the WDFW made the permits available today for essentially no reason other than trying to make it seem like they're ready when they're clearly not.
