How many people have 20+ plus points?

[MarkTrail]

The state used to require money up front for sheep and goats. When they went to a $5 app fee it more than tripled the applicants. Essentially it eliminated my slim chances to ever draw.

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.

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

How do other states like Idaho charge up front for tags then?

First year of the point system was 1996.

I know Pope.. Guy can wish though. I do like some of your ideas you've presented in previous posts though.

I asked for the opinion on it from the AG's office but never got it or the justification as to why.  That's the answer they are giving us though.  Different states have different rules I suppose.

I hate to be "that guy" but this year I drew quality bull in the Dayton unit with 1.....yes 1 point. Not fair I know but it feels pretty good being "that guy" this year.

With any luck you'll miss everything like you did in Montana.

I'm up to 23 points for quality bull

Wowzers!     Welcome to the site.
Better luck next time

So much for a name "lucky3"!

Welcome.

Congrats Huck. Some one has to draw them and even low bp#s have a chance. That's what lots of people like about the WA system.

I keep fooling myself thinking I am in deep enough in sheep I can't get out. Building on a Antlerless Moose. Hit the OIL Moose in 2008, See folks putting in for quality deer with low numbers of players and I am in those pools. But I take it for just what it is.      " A Lottery"

I pay my money and take my chances. I am not " Entitled" to the tag any more than the next person regardless if they have 20 points or put in for the first time. If their number comes up good on them.

I was awarded a carrot again this year with points which will have me back next year, But if by some accident and I do draw a coveted tag I will just put it in my shoe and go try to fill it with out much fanfare.
