My buddys 84 year old uncle finally drew a Cowichee Bull tag with 24 points. He is pretty stoked

A huge flaw in the draw system.....when you finally do draw, you to damn old to do it justice.

Boy that's a slap in the face to some old timers

good for you. Our system is seriously messed up. I have been really fortunate and have been fairly lucky with drawing tags over the years. This year I drew a bull tag with 13 points. That is the most points I’ve ever had in deer and elk.  I’ve drawn Two branched bull tags, 6 cow tags, two quality deer tags, two second deer tags, and two buck tags in the past 10 years. I’m not trying to brag but I’ve been very lucky. Do I think it’s fair? Definitely not. I know a lot of people with a hole bunch of points that are senior citizens and don’t have many years of hunting left. I would gladly give my bull tag to one of them if I could. Something needs to be changed in our current system!!

If we are going to have a point system Ill take ours all day long over other states giving out most their tags to max point holders. You actually have a chance to draw here every year versus slim to none in other states. I couldn't even imagine what the point creep would look like here if we were like Utah system. We have way to many applicants versus tags rewarded.

I hear guys saying I have this many points and haven't drawn, then I ask what have you applied for the whole time? and its usually tags that are so hard to draw you may never draw. Then these same guys somehow think a different system fixes it.. the only thing that fixes it is NO points

  Well said

spot on! Ir they are applying as a group for 2 available tags, or half of their 24 points have come from ghost point apps.  It's not always as simple as "I've got 24pts and can't draw".

You could go apply for a handicapped permit and designate me as your shooter this year... 

[Magnum_Willys]

It takes awhile but eventually you realize that 16-18 points is about average and 24 points while nice only gives you a once every 20 to 50 year chance of drawing depending on tag.   

[The scout]

It’s really not that crazy, there are so few bull tags in each unit it doesn’t surprise me. This is the first year since I passed hunters Ed that I didn’t apply for any special hunts. I’m done with them for good.

[Wanttohuntmore]

Just too many people and not enough opportunities.  That's what happens with high population density.
