I drawed a middle finger from WDFW.
Not selected on anything
Really starting to wonder if someone hates me at WDFW.
Uhh well ,general season it ,while we still have one
Hey me and my whole family drew the same thing. I guess we better treat our general tags as oil tags the way things are going. No draws will hopefully give me the time to kill two bears, maybe a cougar if I can call one in and see it before it sees me this time, or at least a pile of coyotes
Right before I made that post last night.
Seen a COUGAR yesterday.
Jump the highway,on my way home from work.
Seen a deer eating in the ditch,came around the corner.
Is that a golden retriever crossing,then as I got closer and seem the big long tail.
It crossed like walking low as it could to the pavement.
Then it got to the dirt on my side of the road and fully stood up ,with that long tail and black tip.
I was 100% it was a COUGAR.

Anyway just thought I would say ,there are more than WDFW says.
There out there,that's for sure.

Ya it's ironic,but also just the nature of the beast.
Every year it's like that. I did try one time to help a moose tag holder.
Anyway I did send them GPS coordinates,to a clear cut that I had been seeing a moose in on the daily. I did see crows circle few days later.
Not sure if it was the person I helped.
But not a thank you or anything.
If I blast the forum with trail cam pics,I'll get PM asking for help.
Which deep down I'd like to help. But if you do your decent hunting spot is ruined forever.

I think it's great if someone wants to give info of some access points,or point someone in the general direction. It's awesome and the tag holder can do the work themself.
But after being on the forum and making a few mistakes.
Honey holes are your best kept secret,lose lips sink ships.

28 years, 28 points for quality and bull catagory, didn’t apply for one rifle rut tag, archery and a bull hunt that only has around 800 applicants. Nothing, blanked. So discouraging, another year , another let down.

I would say so many categories is taking its toll.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

And letting everyone put in for so many units in every single category. Less desirable units and species/genders should be easier to draw.

The ability to apply for too many categories is the problem if you ask me.

" 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
