Remember when the regulations were about game management and opportunity and not purely about revenue and politics? Those were the days weren't they.

I don't think there are many wasted permits.  I know it does happen, but I just don't think there's enough people drawing in more than one category per species to justify a second draw.

Remember when our Dads talked about the good old days ? Then we talked our good old days ? What will our kids have to say about their good old days  :dunno: Maybe if they were lucky enough to draw a quality deer or elk tag then that would be the best of their good old days ...Now the timber companies are ready to cash in on the revenue they can receive from Motorized and Non motorized permits . It is a matter of when , when all timber companies will follow ...our kids are sc----d !

I think that's the thing about good old days...you don't realize how good you have it til things change.  I look back now and see how good we had it in the 80's and even into the 90's. Back then my dad would look back and say the 60's were the good old days.

I suppose to some young guys, today will look like good old days to them in 20 years.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

The good ole day's as far as just grabbing the gun and kid to go for a weekend deer/elk hunt are gone.  There are some places you can still just drive to but very few that don't require a permit or pass of some sort.  I'm talking on the west side, pretty sad.
“In common with”..... not so much!!
