how to fix WA. OIL draw system

[Magnum_Willys]

Perhaps reserve 20% of the permits for raffle at say $89 per species/area ( i.e huckleberry Any Moose)
This would increase wdfw revenues keeping them happy,  Still give Everyone a chance to draw ( albeit at 25% worse odds but 1:100 or 1:133 so what) and those that really want to pony up can increase their odds at a cost.     Maybe just another way to raise costs?

  raising prices for everything? How about increasing permit numbers

[bobcat]

How about just leaving it how it is? Why try to fix what isn't broken?

You can't increase tag numbers enough to affect the draw odds in any significant way without critically diminishing herd populations.

No complaints with the system leave it the way it is. But maybe I'm biased.  Ask me again next year!!!!

No more raffles! Keep it in random draws.

U sure? I heard there was a big raffle bull taken by yakima this year....

how about if we take a poll if you could only apply for one permit a year where would you place your money
moose
sheep
elk
goat
deer
if you took away four species that would cut down on compotation for the few tags available

That's where I respectfully disagree and think theres room for improvement....not with all species or areas obviously but every tag helps ! Even if it's something like a traditional archery tag (super low success rates) I think it's worth it to get creative and get more tags out there that the animals can support

When the state takes into account permits I know they consider lots of variables herd health, weapon, season, etc. But do they take into account permit participation?

They could just get rid of the OIL System and just auction the quota of OIL tags when they auction the Gov. tag. Maybe then the WDFW heads could get that well deserved raise in pay

[Bushcraft]

From my perspective, the lard-ass that doesn't really care up until the point that he wins the OIL $6 draw absolutely doesn’t deserve it.  Myself and other guys absolutely deserve a chance.

Perhaps you could send wdfw a list of people you feel deserve OIL tags...everybody needs something to wipe their backside with.

Given the fact that you selectively quoted what I said, I'm guessing you entirely missed my point.

Under the fairest possible system, one of every OIL and quality permits would be reserved for lardass American-born citizen-applicants of Scottish-English-Swedish-Romanian-Cherokee heritage with at least six coronary artery stents.

Yes
