2013 Moose and Sheep Draw Odds

[Slow-1]

I for one like the one special permit choice period whether it be deer elk or OIL. Also you have to front the money. That way you apply for just what you really want, not just well its only $... That would eliminate the  “ does any know were XYZ animals are located this is my first year to apply and I’m having a hard time finding the unit on the map.”  Sorry I’m just a little bitter I’ve been apply for 31 years for a OIL to draw nothing. I used to mow lawns to mail in the money. Then you have to listen to I’ve only drawn two of the three, but we should make it totally random that way someone can draw them their first try !! Like it will make any difference with this "random" system we use.

I'd be fine with only allowing one choice on ALL special permit applications. However, I don't feel it would increase odds.

Requiring that the tag fee be paid up front WOULD help to increase odds, and I would agree with that change, but most people would not. Therefore it will never happen.

I reread my post and maybe I wasn't clear. I think you should get an application form with one blank spot for a single special hunt number period. Deer, Elk, Bear Cougar, Moose, MT. Goat, Sheep, what ever you have to choose. What do I really want to hunt.

Unless you and the rest of the state are willing to allow an application fee increase equal to what the average hunter spends on all applications total, then the state would be losing money on the applications; that's simply not going to happen.  The fee would likely be about $75 for that one application.  Personally, I'd pay that for 2 species choices with 2 area choices each, but not for 1 species and 1 area.

Where are the disabled draw odds for moose ?

Where are the disabled draw odds for moose ?

I didn't calculate those or any of the antlerless categories like youth, senior, etc...I focused on quality and antlered hunts since they garner the most interest.

Just at a glance I'd say odds for the disabled hunter permits are just as bad, if not worse, than the bull moose permits.

2013 any sheep and moose draw odds by point total...these are really depressing 

So your saying I got a chance??

$75 heck even $150 to go from the odds say not in my life (yes that’s correct the odds are a person will never draw any of the OIL tags in their life time)
To any decent chance I'm in. I do relies this will never happen because of money, but it makes me feel a little better to vent

Our system is fine.  If you don't have points built up, sucks to be you.  I have drawn tags in this state with less than .05% odds, so it CAN be done and it is done on a regular basis. No offense but the idea of picking 1 species is absolutely retarded! The highlight of the year is going down the list and seeing if you are selected for ANY of the several options we have in this state.  If you don't like the odds, don't apply.  I apply in several states and at least in Wa you have a chance with 1 point.  There are other States that are a waste of time to put in for because you have NO chance of drawing unless you have MAX points.
