You misunderstand me, sir. My vote is leave the current reporting systems in place, but ADD a digital option for those willing to volunteer. Best of both worlds.

Apparently I did. Sorry. And my flip phone and I concur!

Eric is one of the good guys. Always willing to help as much as he can when questions come up. Thanks, Eric

I'd just like to know why the dept website charges a dealer fee for license purchases

WDFW has a contract with the vendor who runs the license sales system. They get paid for their handling of sales, same as a local license agent.

"WDFW has a contract with the vendor who runs the license sales system. They get paid for their handling of sales, same as a local license agent."

Are you saying that WDFW gets paid by the vendor for selling WDFW licensees?

I agree with this comment......I've used Eric for Chehalis River information on Chehalis River springer's, jack salmon, and other salmon catch totals. He's straight foreword and a positive influence for WDFW.

Thanks Eric.....

WDFW has a contract with a company, I think in Missouri, to handle their license sales - they run the computers used by license agents to issue your license. I don't know what percentage of the license fees go to cover the contract, but a large percentage goes back to WDFW for its operational costs. I'm pretty sure the current contract is just a couple of years old and is with a different company that the one they were using a few years back.
