There was a bunch of good idea's, too many to put on a poll.  Probably have to many already, so I tried to narrow it down to the most popular.  You can vote for your top 3

No, you just don't draw any other categories for that year.

I think you need more options. How about, Only 1 OIL app per year with all the money up front (not allowed to build points in the other 2). Also, how about only one deer and elk choice per year. Either quality, bull/buck, or antlerless. (no building points in the other categories). 2nd tags excluded. I like your 1 OIL choice, but not the still being able to build points in the other two. Just my thoughts.

I like the waiting periods but I don't agree that someone should be able to build points during the waiting period.

I don't see much difference of a waiting period or having a minimum amount of points to draw. Also, the game department would never go for not being able to build points, lost REVENUE😁

I only voted for one of the choices: limiting non-residents to 10%. Actually I think it should be even less. Oregon limits non-residents to 5% of their deer and elk tags and 3% of antelope. That's about where we should be, IMO.

As for the wasted tags, there is no such thing. If a person draws an elk permit in the bull category and the quality category, he can still use both permits. Just can't kill two elk. It's up to each person if they want to take the chance of drawing more than one permit per species. I applied for antlerless elk and quality elk this year, so in the quality category I only applied for a point.

Having a minimum number of points to draw would complicate the system even more. If anything, I'd rather simplify the system. This is not a preference point type of system. If we want to change to that, we'd have to do away with squaring the points.

Shouldn't deer and elk or oils be deer and elk or 1 oil?
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

Elimination of categories would help a bunch.  This would separate the meat hunters from the trophy hunters to a certain degree and have options for those in the middle.  There are too  many choices from species to hunt choices. If we could put in one category per species with maybe two options (for hunts) .

I really wanted to vote but my A D D took over and I lost interest in the poll. lol.Seriously though I think the system is fine,every year people complain about how it is,Seems haters gonna hate.I would like to see some of the people that claim to have over 16 points show us a pic of it.Thats right if you have more than 16 points  :tup: in anything other than an oil take a pic of your last years draw results cover up your info and post it here,I really want to see if many actually have that many. Thanks. No offense meant either if people do have that many its rediculous.And I would be looking for a change also but if not.  :cryriver:

Why would you do this?  The 97 people who have voted at the time of this post aren't even 1/10th of 1% of the WA hunting community.

i was hoping for some changes that the wdfw would consider, there are some good points on here.  I've talked to the permit manager in the past and thought if I could put some numbers behind some of these opinions it would create changes.  I'm fully aware that only a small percentage of the over 18,000 members are responding, but a lot of members are not as committed to this site as the rest of us losers!  :chuckle:
