Special hunt screw up

That can mess up some long term hunt plans!
 
This seems like a messy mistake.
 
If they didn't what until the last minute to do it every year.

For me I went from a buck tag I was sorta excited about to one I'm not excited about....
 
Will folks get preference points refunded?

It looks like it according to the FAQ on the WDFW page @Billy linked to. But I also don't know much about hunt draws. So I may be missing something.

If I am unable to take advantage of a special hunt tag issued after the initial draw (due to lack of time to plan, inability to take time off work, etc.) what happens to my points balance?​

  • Hunters have the option to return their special hunt permit back to WDFW if they are unable to participate in the hunt.
  • Hunters have until two weeks before their special hunt season is scheduled to open to return their special hunt permit to WDFW and have their points restored. Hunters may contact the WDFW Wildlife Program at 360-902-2515 to make this request.
