selling permitt points
« on: April 01, 2014, 06:27:49 PM »
So with the price some are willing to pay on raffles, gov tags, and you had the option, would you sell your points? The way I see it, we pay to get points so we own them. Shouldn't there be an option to sell them. Say you have been putting in for ever and your just getting to old or lost the desire. It would be nice to get something in return. That said, I am in no way a fan of the gov tag, Just don't think it right to sell of the game that we all pay for to the highest bidder and that would probably be who would pay the amount I would be willing to sell for. But if the price was right :dunno:

I would like WDFW give us the ability to will our points to one family member.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

That's a really bad idea. Fortunately the WDFW would never even think about doing that.

Another bad idea! Only the person who earned the points should be able to use them.

That's a good option, Just seems such a waste if they cant be used. At least someone would get some satisfaction from years of utter disappointment. I wonder what, Say 18 quality elk points would be worth.

Well, as long as WDFW sells other tags to the highest bidder, I don't have a problem with it. You paid for them, You should be able to profit from them. Now if they didn't already auction tags to the highest bidder, Then that might change my thinking. But giving them to a family member. Pretty good idea either way.

I would sell my sheep and goat points and buy some deer and elk points. Very little chance of ever being able to use them.

Hasn't money ruined hunting enough already?

I'd pay for points for all my older family members that don't hunt on the condition they will them to me, might as well just let people buy points themselves if you're going to do that...

I wouldn't say its a lotto, You get your chance once in a lotto, Then you start from scratch if you choose to throw your money away for another chance.

It is not like lotto.  When you don't get drawn you get a point.....these points have value in a better chance of getting drawn next year.  When you loose at lotto your loosing ticket has no value, it doesn't better you odds in the next lotto.

:yeah:
I would LOVE to give my daughter my bonus points.  She would basically be able to pick any elk hunt in the state.

I suppose you could just advertise for someone to partner up with you if you had a load of points? That would be legal, could just charge them to be on your permit.  Not for me but I wouldn't be surprised to see it.
“In common with”..... not so much!!
