The poacher points can't be used on OIL tags...

At first I thought perhaps I would say that poacher points could only be used on units with at least  25 tags ( pick a number) .

But after thinking it through.  Every year the max point crowd creeps up a point.  In a few years getting an extra 10 may not be that much of an advantage. Statistically it should be less and less of an advantage in pulling a tag in a hard-to-draw unit. So it may never become an issue.

A side note to Branden.  I'd love to get those points myself. But I guess I run in the wrong circles because I haven't found or heard of a poacher since this program started.

I agree Todd.

I for one have seen the poacher point holders have a positive result in the draw, not only for elk but for deer too. I honestly think they have some sort of edge on the rest of the general point holders...I wouldn't be complaining if I got a tag! It might tick some guys off though.

I have heard that turning in people for bear baiting earns you 10 points as well.

It's hard not to want a blues tag with all the free information available and supporting proof to back it up.

I am going to auction off half of my points next year to the highest bidder to go in as a co-applicant with me. It will be for four archery elk choices.  :chuckle:

I didn't draw one of the tags so if anybody who drew needs help on information for the Wenaha let me know.

Thanks sjhgraysage.  I had a feeling it was something obvious I just couldn't put it together.

I can't find one either but I always keep my eyes and ears open.

I agree Todd.

I know a guy that turned in a couple poachers and he still hasn't got a tag so I'm not sure they have an edge except for more points and luck.  :dunno:
