I believe this is absolutely Bull S#%£.No way they should be Givin any extra state tags... put the tags in the general hunt and let the public have access. If they want to keep it to themselves they have to draw just like the rest of us.Everyone on this forum should call wdfw and let them have it...Do you think that the forest company/land owner shouldn't be given any incentive to enroll his land into the hunt programs? Why would any do it if there was no incentive for them? No matter how big or small a company they have to pay a person to answer a phone and manage the program. It would be far easier and cheaper to simply shut the gates and hunt behind them with their own land owner permits or go the way of Weyerhauser and lease it out to a few people that are easier to supervise.

Is this a special hunt draw area? Is there something other than the fact it is private land that makes tags harder to get for these GMUs?

I go down to the Big 5 every year and buy my over-the-counter Dayton bull permit. A few years back, I decided to try something new and bought a Colockum OTC bull permit and shot a 380 bull. I don't know the problem is.
