Quality and Antlerless

[jkononen]

Is there anybody on here who has drawn for both antlerless and quality in the same year?  Just wondering how often that might happen.  Anybody have the same fear of drawing two permits and losing all your points for a category??

I drew "Bull" and antlerless. kinda sucks but I'll take it. Luckily I killed a bull or I might feel a little different.

I drew antlerless elk and quality deer and couple years ago.. ....but the fear of two elk permits is always there but its part of the game. If you are in the 4-5 points range for antlerless you may want to hold off on bull tags or do ghost points for antlerless till your get your bull.

I think it happens often. With how they draw its one flaw. If your wild Id gets picked with a low number I think you have a good chance at drawing multiple tags. I don't put in for the same animal because I don't want to waist my points. It's messed up when someone draws quality elk and bull the same year and waists the bull tag that someone could have used. You will see it on here after the draw.

I agree it probably happens fairly often. But it's not quite correct to think that if you draw a low number, it will increase your odds of getting multiple permits. The random numbers are assigned separately for each category you apply in. So a low number in one category has no influence on your chance of drawing a permit in another category.

As another post stated, it's just a part of the "game." Take the risk if you want and apply for hunts in more than one category per species. Or play it safe and apply for only the point option in some categories.

It isn't necessarily a waste of a permit if you draw a cow elk hunt and a bull elk hunt in the same year. You can still use both permits, as long as you don't use your tag on the first hunt.

It might make sense to apply for a cow hunt that has a later season than the bull hunt you applied for. That way you can hunt the bull permit first, and use the cow permit as a backup if you're not successful in killing a bull.

I drew a toutle bull tag and a yale cow tag last muzzy season.  I ate the cow tag and I am eating the bull!

My dad drew Toutle quality and Margaret antlerless in 2011.

 2 > 0. More hunting is a problem I can live with.

Last year I drew a "bull" and antlerless. 

[Southpole]

I drew a quality deer unit 448 and antlerless in a handfull of  Northeast units (I can't remember which ones) with only a 1 point each... whoops, I didn't notice this was in the elk category, my bad.

[Mr Mykiss]

I drew Quality and Antlerless with 5 points for both. I know a guy last year that drew Quality and didn't draw Antlerless last year with 10 points for both. It's a crap shoot!!

[Antlershed]

I have 16 points in quality and bull. I would hate to lose my points in both categories, but I also know that my odds suck even with that many points. Not sure whether I will apply in both categories or just one.

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

I drew Quality and antlerless last year. I applied with my son for antlerless so we had 9 points as a partnership.

I drew quality bull and antlerless in the toutle two three years ago. It was nice being able to shoot any elk that stepped in front of me

So what did you end up shooting?
