The WDFW would be very unpopular if they did that.

 Yeah, as if their approval rating could actually go much lower. :chuckle:

And that's one thing that would cause just that! After people have been building up points for 20 years? Just not going to happen. Besides, look at how much money they make just because of the point system.

 Oh I agree with you, just thought your comment was funny.

Leave deer elk baiting as it, no limit. Baiting for bears ok too. Heck give those bear & cat dogs their jobs back. May as well start a petition so they can't manage fish & game by ballot box. Points system needs to award top point holders with tags, maybe 50% of available tags?
I have Man Chit to do

 That's a preference system,  :bdid:

It's worse than a bad idea.




Whether the state eliminates the point system or not it will be something I will discuss anytime its brought up. The question hunters should ask themselves is what is a statical chance of drawing a permit? 1,3,5,10% then they need to look at the odds of drawing, even antlerless permits. It's not my fault people receive a point for every application and think it means something... It only means less and less every year
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Baiting is a fabulous way to start a youngster of with success.  Don't limit other's freedom just because you choose not to participate.

The only change to baiting that I would be OK with is a maximum quantity on the ground at a time.

I think our "bonus" point system is fine in that even a first timer has a chance at drawing a tag.

Not a good idea in this state, we have an over saturated draw system as it is.  If we did any kind of preference system some people would never be drawn again in their lifetime.

One problem with banning bait is that many people on private property will continue to do it anyway, drawing deer from nearby public land or honest neighbors properties.

Thanks for posting this up 724wd.

 I do have a couple questions that maybe you can answer. First, who is in the GMAC and where do the members come from?

 Second, for whom do these GMAC members speak?

i dunno.  I saw it on the WSAA facebook wall.  Ren's info is probably available on the WSAA website.  http://washingtonarchery.org/

The GMAC is made up of guys like all of us. 15-25 guys sitting around a campfire being provided with information.  They're the ones who have volunteered to be the spokesman for their cause and want to make sure their groups' interests are heard. But, more importantly, they want to insure bad ideas stay out of game management for the health of the herds, the future of our sport, and the public good.
