Draw Odds 2012 for Quality Deer in Washington

   very nice of you to post this!

Yeah the odds definately aren't in anyones favor for drawing, thats for sure.

That's awfully cynical...

I think the odds are definitely in WDFW's favor.  At $13 a pop, the house wins every time.  All they have to do is creat a couple of new categories every few years and double the prices.  We all play, regardless...

They are working on it as you speak!

Thanks for doing this. Pretty interesting stuff. How do you get the information about average points for quality (or any category for that matter)? Really wish I would have looked at this prior to submitting my apps.

The WDFW website has previous years total applications (by point total) for each hunt...that is where I get the info for this stuff.  Even if odds are low I do find this useful for submitting applications...it won't help you draw but it may help you decide on a unit/weapon etc.

Comment was definitely cynical but I have hit the winning numbers enough I'm addicted to keep playing no matter how bad the odds are!

I complained several times to the commissioners about this upcharge for a socalled quality permit. In my mind its not quality anything until you draw. It is nothing but socalled revenue enhancement scheme.

yeah its definitly a money scheme....otherwise they would let you apply for free...then only charge the winner the cost of one quality deer tag. the amount they make off one entiat quality deer tag is 2000 dollars plus. be alot less people apply if they had to fork over that much money.

Has anyone one done this for the antler less elk hunts category. I couldn't find a thread for it on here??

[huntnnw]

i see these and think blah blah

me too.

Why, you guys can't face reality?

no its actually quite meaningless...I have drawn several tags...doesnt take a rocket scientist to look at available tags and applicants and see if they are bad or not.
