How many people have 20+ plus points?

[PolarBear]

Max points on all of the big 3!

Have not missed a year since I was 18. Drew a goat tag when I was 22. Just turned 60 today.  Still hoping someday ...

[Brushbuster]

21 points for the 3 OIL tags & Quality deer for me. I've drawn the Quality Bull tag 3 times. I did draw a goat tag before it was OIL.

I think we have just too many people applying for too few tags. With our system, everyone thinks they can beat the odds & draw their tag. Few do and WDFG gets tons of $.

Almost all states I apply there is point creep & it is harder & harder to draw no matter what point or nonpoint system they have.

Better luck next year.

I'm 20 for goat and sheep. Really high for moose and quality elk. It comes up every year but I wish they would charge up front for the tag. Might reduce the application numbers a little. Had I known it was going to be this long  without even drawing I would of saved a few hundred bucks a year and just paid for a hunt.

[zwickeyman]

20 goat
19 sheep
19 moose
I thought this would be my year like a lot of you guys with lots of points

What is the limit "max points?"

[RC3]

50% of the tags should go preference point, 50% random draw with bonus points and a non-resident cap of 10% of the tags but I realize this would cut their revenue so it will never happen.

How is it that anyone (other than have turned in a poacher) have more than 20 points?  Didn't the current draw system start in 1997?  That would put the max at 20 this year, right?

[PolarBear]

Poacher points can't be used towards OIL tags, at least that is what I was told by the WDFW.

[wa.hunter]

I have 22 sheep and 21 moose.......the worst part is I turned 65 and now get more opportunities at and ADDITIONAL COST and still don't draw..Just think what you got to look forward too.

[Magnum_Willys]

Look at the chart above - even with 20 points your odds are 1 outa 200.  Sorry, probably never going to draw unless you are really lucky.

That's the truth... We put in with lots of hope but the likelihood is you will never draw any oil.

[JoeE]

I had never drawn anything until last year when I drew a watershed elk tag. This year I drew White River bull. I guess I'm on a lucky streak but now I'm prepared for my decade + of not selected after this.

[JoeE]

I was pulling for you this year Trophyhunt! I thought for sure you were going to get one of those primo tags. Dang it!

Including the point from this year, max is 21.

It is possible to have more than max in the oil permit type tags, I have 22 in antlerless moose, was awarded 2 points by WDFW last year for a merit reason.
Poacher bonus points are not added to OIL permit categories, only deer or elk.

The AG's office says it's illegal.  Won't happen.
