Let's put this debate to rest and have a poll to see what the numbers are.

Could a mod (KFhunter?) please move this to the virtual campfire? I meant for it to be an across the board poll, not just for the elk hunting board.

Thank you.

I voted yes, but not until I draw my quality bull. I have 20 points and don't want those going away.

Questions probably a little to simple. For example if its to phase it out over time. I would say yes. Then I'd just hold on to my ten points I have as a non resident and apply years from now when that ten points is up around max. If it's just dropping the points one day guys like me probably could take it or leave it but residents with 20+ will never let go if that investment

I'm no sure I understand the question. 1 chance per species, 1 chance per category, 1 chance period?
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

What do you mean by only one chance per year? You mean only one species?

1 name in the hat per applicant, per species.  Of course OIL remains OIL, once you draw you're out. 

*I updated the poll to clarify that it is for each species.

Okay, I'd vote yes then.

It's meant to be simple... like the draw should be.  ;)

"Completely do away with the current system" is about as clear as I could be. 

If the public majority voted to do away with the current system, then those sitting on 20 points would have to accept it. :dunno:   This is one of the reasons for starting this poll, just to gauge the opinion of the majority.

I also figured it would be interesting since some people are just now figuring out their odds decrease each year with the current points system.

In my opinion the points system will HAVE to change in the future.  I just don't see it continuing down it's current path.

It'll have to be a similar revenue based system. No way they are getting away from all the separate categories. It's just too much revenue for them to turn away from.

I don't know what the people with the power to change the system would change it for. I don't think the state sees any issue with the way it's run now.

Got it. Might add a third option "good either way"for the folks like me. May paint a fuller picture. Might be suprized the votes that one gets too
