WDFW-SUX:
If we had Idaho or New mexico's system our odds would be exponentially better...there would be less money for WDFW though.

I'd be all for that. I'm not sure how much money they would lose. People would still apply for special permits. But now that we've got the point system we're stuck with it.
WDFW-SUX:
The big difference between Nevada and washington's system is that almost all if not all of the hunting in Nevada is by permit only so people have to decide if they want to hunt every year or hold out for that "one hunt". Washington has OTC tags so there is no disincentive to hold out for the primo tags and thats why people with 10+ points are a dime a dozen here.
4 choices is 3 too many and we should have to pick one of the OIL. .
If these changes were made it will also mean less revenue and less WDFW employees and thats why it will never happen. WDFW is more concerned with its own jobs program than it is with quality big game hunting.
bobcat:
Why would it make for less revenue to reduce the number of choices on an application ??? Are you thinking that some people would just stop applying if they could only have one choice?
WDFW-SUX:
Im talking about changing the number of species that you could apply for or eliminating points all together. Its really crappy that they have decided that the purpose of the draws are to enhance revenue...
Without points lots of people will just skip washington every year especially if they like hunting out of state...and that = less in licence sales and better odds for those that really want the tags.
Ive bought all of my deer and elk tags several seasons and not used them just so I could build points...I would definitely skip on deer and elk if I wasn't trying to keep up with the Joneses..
