I've got 12 points for elk, honestly. Where should I apply, why and I want to know where your honey holes are ?

C-post unit.

Ill put in for deer but wont buy the permit, if awarded elk i will buy that. If not i may not even bother hunting in Wa this year esp if they make us pay full freight for the big/small combo.

Just curious, why would you put in for the permit if you aren't going to buy it?

Simple cost v benefit decision. The MS deer has always been flawed. For the cost you should be recieving a transport tag for each season. I dont mind the expense for the elk because 1 elk is equal to 3-4 deer. I wont buy the deer because i know the state is counting on the windfall.

its funny how the state is really laughing at you for spending the 5 bucks every year for nothing.  Now tell,me who's sticking it to who?  The only thing you're doing is taking away from the guy that might really use it.  The state can give a poo about your 140 bucks.

I'm not as much into elk hunting as I am deer hunting so I put in for Multi deer for the chance to chase them longer, if you're not going to buy it after getting drawn don't put in, that just takes away from folks like myself who enjoy the opportunity.

It would cost you zero if you didn't apply. I really don't understand why you would pay the money to put in for the permit knowing full well you won't buy it. I'm sure folks like Radsav aren't too happy you are taking a permit out of their pocket.

Seems odd to me but people do it all the time, putting in for permits that they don't intend to use.  Some of them do it thinking that they are saving the animals lives by taking the opportunity away from someone that would actually kill the animal and fill the tag.

Not saying that is what washelkhunter is doing, he says he is doing to make a statement to the game department.  I guess everyone has the choice to use the permit process however they want.  It's not what I would do but if it works for them more power to them.

Well here's the deal. The state is playing us for chumps. I contend they should be giving the permit drawer 3 transport tags for deer one for each weapon season. They should have capped it at like 2000 permits. Everyone would be all over that and happy to play. Instead they started out at 4000 permits for a few years but then 2 years ago increased the no: available 110% all for still only 1 deer. At the rate of $185 + change; old rate; but still $165+ I can buy a lot of chicken for that much dough, DOH! And if I want to just go chase critters around I can do that for just the cost of fuel and still learn and have fun. As far as Radsav goes he got more enjoyment on here for having not been drawn then he would have ever got with the MS.

I think you missed my point. If you don't like the permit, why waste your money putting in for it?

[JBar]

And WHY take the opportunity away from someone who wants it?

[Rainier10]

this is possible.    But still missing the point that others could use that permit.  Again it is your right to put in and not use it if you choose.

Its not wasted money to me. Ill gladly pay $6.50 to deprive the moneygrubbers $165. But thats just me. Like i said its a flawed gig designed to seperate the rubes from their change. Perhaps im saving some poor hunter who really cant afford it from wasting their money eh.   

[Jingles]

Then those that put in for permits and don't use won't mind if land owners post property that was normally open but decided they want to keep it for themselves and their families and friends

That would make sense if the number of tags wasn't already bigger than the number of applicants.

That's not true anymore. In 2014 there were 8,593 applications for 8,500 permits.

Oh yeah I forgot, it finally broke the ceilling.

Congrats washelkhunter, you screwed 92 folks
