moose random drawing question
« on: November 13, 2014, 08:53:45 AM »
I was told that when you put in for the drawing if you don't get drawn you get your money back except for a small portion, is this true or do you not get any back?
"One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted...If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job."

You donate your 6 bucks and then you get nothing back.   In the old days you fronted the cash, then got a refund

I am all for going back to fronting the cash...it might weed a few out and make the draw odds better...Give me a better chance of getting at least one OIL tag before I get too old... :twocents:

I apply for moose in ID for this reason. Atleast I tell myself it weeds some out that do not want to front the tag money.

Couple things that help with Idaho.   Money up front,  NO POINTS, can only apply for ONE OIL per year of application, and cant put in for elk or deer if you put in for an OIL.   

Drew FIRST year I put in.
Dad drew FIRST year he put in

Seems like a good place as any to ask another moose question...if I draw moose in wa or idaho and do not fill my tag am I allowed to keep putting in for it ? Is it oil draw or oil to fill the tag ?

In Washington you cannot apply again if you harvest a moose. I don't know about Idaho.

That is not correct for Idaho or Washington.  Once in a lifetime harvest...although mathematically in Washington it is probably functionally correct to say its OIL draw  :chuckle:

Which I think is wrong. You draw moose, sheep, or goat,  there's your chance. There's no reason for not harvesting an animal. All of the seasons are plenty long. You shouldn't be able to continue applying whether you were successful or not.

Well I was thinking I'm young enough to where of I can possibly draw again if I don't fill the tag...this would drastically change how selective I would be when hunting

Plus I would get to hunt more...seems like a no brainer  :dunno:

I think the wait in Idaho is 7 years if you don't notch

No, its 2 years...except you can still apply for leftovers and super hunts every year.  Also, the once-in-a-lifetime rule is waived for leftover tags...which occasionally there are in some of the tougher to access units.

What units did you draw?  a pm would work. I put in for a unit that only had 15 permits. I knew it was slim going in, but if I drew it would have been where I wanted to hunt. That is awesome you and your dad drew!

We drew unit one.   It has taken a huge downhill turn in quality.  Too many permits and the wolves I am sure are having an impact.

That's what I have heard about that unit. Too bad, hate to see moose populations dropping..

I had the late 2 week season tag in 1 last year 11-1 to 11-15. Still seen a bunch of moose and bulls. It has definitely gone downhill a bunch but still a good hunt.  Wolves have definitely had their impact but I still got a nice bull and there were plenty around.
