Why does it take so long to complete Special Draws?

[Ridgeratt]

Does anyone have a reasonable explanation as to why after the deadline for applying it takes over a month to get this done?  With the WDFW stating the deadline is a certain date it should be pretty simple.

Washington does have a pretty quick turnaround compared to other states

WA is ONE OF the fastest states in the west. Never takes more than a month for them to complete draws. There are checks and balances that need to be completed. We've had many draw witnesses on this very site that have detailed the process very well. Maybe Jerry or Rainier could revisit the process or copy and paste from an old thread.

I would rather they give us a set date when they release the draw so I don't waste time refreshing my Wild System online waiting every single day after lunch. Take all the time they need, just tell me WHEN.

This has always been my gripe.  Instead of telling us "no later than" just tell us the date of the draw.  Problem solved.

Have you guys tried not worrying about it till they actually release results    checking at random for no reason doesn't make them come out faster. I wish they would go to a hard date too and stick to it because it would inevitably be later in the month and y'all would get to lay in the bed you make. No more speedy results and everyone would have more fuel to melt the internet with

Exactly!  The checks and balances should be audited by an independent auditor such as KPMG.  The draw could be done immediately and the process and system audited before hand and after.   Any alterations of the process without viable explanations should cause heads to roll.  It's about as simple as you could get and they still screw it up.

They due give us a hard date the end of June.

The days before the internet were nice.  You forgot about the draw until you got your "Dear Hunter" cards in the mail.

I must have missed the "by June 30th" part

Guys that complain about WA turn around time don't have a clue.

Exactly. The backdoor tricks maybe get you 2 hours heads up to the official email results are posted. Website crashes for an hour or so after so maybe buys you 3-4 hours.

This is an accurate statement.
