selling permitt points

[plugger]

I totally agree money has ruined hunting. But that's not going to change in my life time, Pretty sure its only going to get worse. Maybe its time to get a little back. Hell all the timber lands want money now, Private land owners want money now, Might a well have the option to.

Why don't we just scrap the whole drawing process and make it a sealed bid auction?

I despise what hunting is becoming.  I'll gladly keep hunting OTC hunts before I'll start buying points to get to the front of the line.

YMMV

I would not be on the buying end

There's points for sale on Ifish in the hunting classifieds all the time, right now there is 16 Oregon antelope points for sale.  I think we should be able to give our points to our kids as a one time deal.

Points are not transferable in any state.

Only way it is done is guys "buy" the option to put in with guys with lots of points and thus increasing their odds.

I would like WDFW give us the ability to will our points to one family member.

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

Why is this a bad idea?  Aaron put in for permits religiously his whole hunting career and was never able to draw a tag before he paid the ultimate price!  Why shouldn't he be able to leave his points to his son so he can one day fulfill his fathers dream!?!!

Well that is interesting. There's always a way I guess.

My point exactly.

Well, I'm surprised I even have to explain. I took the original post as more of a joke than anything. The idea of selling or transferring points is simply absurd. And like I said, the WDFW would never consider it. It's good to know they at least have that much sense.

So... The reason I say this is that it would be unfair. Pretty simple. It would be unfair to those who had to acquire their points honestly and legitimately. I don't feel I am more deserving of a special permit just because my dad had bad luck and didn't draw in 18 years of applying.

I bought the points! They are mine. I should be able to do what I want with them.. 

So a guy goes off and dies for his country and his points go to waste? That is a ripoff!  There should be SPECIAL situations that points can be given to a person of your choice! After all the end goal is soneone filling a dream hunt.  But once again the value of money has ruined the whole process...

This is something our camp always talks about. they should be your points where you can transfer them through a will

I don't think they should be willed to just anybody, but to a pre determined family member I would would be all for.

I beleive oregon allows this to a certain extent...would you really feel cheated if a crippled grandpa gave his granddaughter his points ?

Selling points is a whole nother matter. ..it would progress the "rich man trend" this sport is taking
which is appalling

[bobcat]

No, you cannot transfer points to another person in Oregon, or in any other state that I know of.
