Because the system can't handle that, according to Dave Ware.  The system will only allow full replication into all the categories.  After this year's drawing they will need to be manually reset to 0 in ineligible categories.

(So when did this ever make sense?)

OK. Manually resetting how many thousands of people's points sounds like a major undertaking. I wonder how much Outdoor Central will be charging the WDFW to do all this extra work?

And I wonder how much of all this additional money brought in by the sale of special permit applications will actually go to providing hunting access on private lands, as they say it will?

 E mail sent. Now to see how long it takes to get a response. Sometime next week I assume.

 If I were to not buy an antlerless app this year what will my points be (since I have 14) if I decided to put in for it next year,14 or zero?

Your points would be 14, and then add 1 for applyling, so 15 points. It shouldn't matter when you apply. If you wait 10 years and then apply in the antlerless category, you should still have 15 points.

When I emailed Dave Ware, I believe I got a reply the next day.

Leavenworth agenda item book
 Item 1
Page 3
Subsection iii
 "The point replication will only occur in 2010 during the transition from single species catagories to multiple catagories of the same species....."




I hope you are right, but with WDFWs need for money, and why would the word "only" be in there?

Because it's just as it says, it will only occur in 2010. Your points will be transferred into all categories. So your 14 elk points will be placed in all 8 categories (or however many there is.) Once they are in there though, they should stay in there. Except for possibly the ones you aren't eligible to apply in, as Bob33 said. I haven't read anything that said you had to buy an application in each category to keep those points.

I'm so fortunate, I have 2 big points that are going into all the categories.   :rolleyes:

   That's good! I can see your feelings about having much more competition this year. I would have been fine the way it was, but if there handing me a possible sure thing (Antlerless-Yakima area), since I won't loose the bull point. I guess I better give it a try. Have a great weekend-I need to get some things done.

I'm hoping to make the best of it and I will put my dad and uncle in for antlerless elk hunts. They each have 8 points as they have been holding out for bull permits. So pretty good odds for a cow permit for at least one of them, and I still get to go on an elk hunt outside of the general elk season, and with any luck, I will end up with at least a quarter of an elk in my freezer. It doesn't matter to me if I'm the one doing the shooting or not. I just don't enjoy hunting the general elk season.

Bobcat is right, once the put your points in all the catagories then they will be there until you draw a permitin that catagory. No one at WDFW has made a statment that you would lose your points if you don't apply this year.

Q: Will I lose all my points if I skip a year?
A: No. You are in the permit drawing system for the life of the system. Your points will be waiting for you when you apply again, even if it is several years.

Dave Ware needs to eat face on this one.  There will be less tags available this year, but more opportunities ??  How is this better for hunters?  Most hunters think they are getting a better deal, aint no way.  I hear a bunch of "REDRAWS" coming our way!

You would retain the fourteen points you began the year with, unless you applied for a ghost hunt, and then you would have fifteen!
