ODFW call

nakoa · 12-18-2008, 06:29 PM

so i'm sitting on the couch where you can find me most evenings, and the phone rings i answer and it is odfw doing an archery servy, has this happened to anyone else rifle ,muzzle loader, bird, or archery it does't matter and what do you guys think. we will do this in a pole form and if you guys want to comment. i think it is good atleast some of our tag and licence purches are doing something.

I got a call in November about 100 and 600 series Deer hunting, then again a few weeks later asking about upland birds.

I do know that there has been times when we were halibutt fishing and got back late that there was no one on the docks to check our fish and I always wondered about quota counts. Same as sturgeon at the estuary.

NOpe...havent had a call yet this year. But every other year I have at some point. I believe with the mandatory reporting of success starting this year that those calls will be less and less. Reading the new synopsis it says that they will still do some calling to compare results with the mandatory call in and internet survey.

Got the call at 7:30 tonight for rifle. I even fiilled out my harvest report online about a month ago

I heard that they will be requiring you to report wether you fill your tag or not. Not sure when that goes into affect.

KingSlew · 12-18-2008, 07:04 PM

Got one last night. I always have a good talk with the canvasser...

twobullz · 12-18-2008, 08:02 PM

I got the call around 8 a few nights ago.

Yah they are doing the mandatory reporting next year still as a trial and then starting in 2010 you will have some kind of consequences if you don't report. my guess is that you will lose out for a year on hunting?

20 + years of hunting and I dont ever remember getting a phone call from odfw regarding my hunting season. I have sent in teeth, etc but it has always been pro active on my part. I like mandatory reporting. Wheels.

Snug 2 · 12-19-2008, 08:06 AM

I got the call.

Why do we have to report our harvest on-line after the hunt if they are still going to call us and ask the same questions?

Ildor · 12-19-2008, 09:54 AM

thefishslayer · 12-19-2008, 10:23 AM

Nw dukn · 12-19-2008, 10:45 AM

Don Becker · 12-19-2008, 11:26 AM

I just called ODFW to see if they had my updated phone number and they had NO phone number on file for me...............Kinda weird.......I know I have given my phone number and address at point of sales when purchasing my apps/tags/lic./etc. Anyway, they have it now. Wheels.

My house seems to be on the short list too !! Between my son and i, we get a couple of calls every year. Like to help if it's a step in the right direction.

CamoHunter · 12-20-2008, 08:20 AM

Yep, got two calls this year.
One for archery elk and one for rifle deer.
I get called almost every year.

They are still making calls to validate the "Mandatory Report".
I have not gotten one this year but have almost every year in the past.
Do not forget to do your "Mandatory Reporting". This year no penalty for not making the report next there may be one.

Same here, Wheels. I haven't been able to hunt for the past three years but up until then I can't remember getting a call. Been checked many times up in the woods to see if I was legal though. One year the OSP was waiting by my rig when I came out. Don't know how long he had been waiting but he wanted to see my papers.

That is the set-up for trapping. If you don't fill out the report and have it turned in by the date set, no trapping the next year. That is the reason we aren't trapping this year. Things came up and the report was put on the back self until to late.

'Just received the call re my elk hunt last year. Don

blacktail hunter · 02-10-2009, 07:58 PM

got my second call this year on friday.

BrianMaguire · 02-10-2009, 08:03 PM

Got my third this year, both deer tags and tonight my archery elk tag.

Rank Amateur · 02-10-2009, 08:59 PM

I think I was called twice, step-daughter talked to the first one, talked about elk hunting and how big it was, ect. Boy, I wonder how many poachers get tripped up on that phone call? ODF&W-did your Dad get an elk this year? Kid-yep, he got three of them!

I thought it was weird they would take information from someone other than the person with the tag.

Sounds like they called tonight, but the wife told them I wasn't home yet from work and that was that.
