Im going to send them some email to make the system as terrible as it can be so it implodes in a year or two and we have to start over.

There ARE people this proposal will help in the short term.  Its the guy who has been putting in for cow tags and never bull tags because antlers are awesome, but he didn't want to wait x amount of years, and he does love a good barbecue.  On average he has 4 to 5 points because he has been unlucky at even drawing a cow.   He now has the oppurtunity to be in both draws.  He is also a guy that likes the Westside, Packwod area, but chooses to put in for the Eastside because thats closer to home.  He is not one to utilize the multi season permit.
Why is it better.   He now can apply for 4 choices for big bull and yet still apply for cow.  He has some points, so isn't out of the running.   His bull applications will go Blues, Blues, Naches, and Clock.  He will hunt the general in Packwood if not drawn, hit the Yakima a little just for tradition. 
Why is this worse for him.....he is less likely to draw a cow tag, though his luck has already been poor, because Phool put in for his area where he would like to hunt cows, along with a whole bunch other members with 10 points PLUS.  Because eastside guys can go west, more hunters will flood that way during their seasons, and more westside guys will flood east for our seasons.  Though there is more time in the filed, you will also be sharing with more folks. What else has he impacted on folks....well his name in now in 4 hats for big bull where he wasn't before, with his 5 points.

 Thats it in a nuttshell Bone.

I think im going to draw a tag this year....

not sure where you guys think westside elk tag holders will be allowed to put in for the eastside tags.  The press release said nothing to that effect.  I imagine if that was the plan it would have been in there.  Just becuase people in the survey wanted it doesn't mean its going to be implemented.

I agree......and I'm to blame for starting that rumor.

I like bucket/hat terminology vs. Pools...I am simple minded I guess.  So instead of one Elk Bucket or two (eastside/westside) and one Deer Bucket to draw from.. they will now have 8 buckets for deer and 8 buckets for elk.  I am assuming ( which always gets me into trouble) that there will be more buckets for each of the weapon group or will all weapons permits be pulled out of same 8 buckets.  I guess will there could be 24 buckets for deer and 48 buckets for elk (eastside/westside).  Seems more complicated too me.  Not to mention that your name can be placed in several buckets depending on points, etc.  I guess if you were holding max points and you were a senior disabled master hunter with a multiseason permit..your in the money!  LOL  I think for me it would cost $100.00 extra in just permit fees to be put into all the buckets I can put in for. $20 deer, $20 elk, bighorn, moose, goat, spring bear, fall turkey,...Sounds like a Mastercard commercial..

What a pile...

So let me get this straight...there are going to be hunts for westside archery antlerless tags only? and then some westside archery 2nd cow and then there are also going to be hunts for westside archery bull and westside premium archery bull... Thats alot of computations for us hillbillies to figure out...

Oh I can't wait.

[whacker1]

no computations needed.  Just give them your credit card and WDFW will do all of the computation as a service provided for free.  Yes I said it, free!

That what I was trying to figure out..Not sure..

[boneaddict]

Think how many re-draws this will take. 

[WDFW-SUX]

How come a state like Idaho can be so good and Washington be so bad....Do you think we can sub out WDFW responsibilities to IDFG?

I think im going to call them and ask..

[whacker1]

Remember, IDFG is trying to figure out how to raise the revenue that their legislature helped them lose when they raised their nonresident fees.  They have their own issues to deal with right now.

[WDFW-SUX]

There issues>Our issues

You know....they could make Rocky Big Horns a seperate OIL choice if they want some more money for there pensions.

Yes I would like a Muzzleloader Elk secondary draw permit applications and 2 rifle cow regular season permit applications, I would also like a youth deer and a senior disabled archery elk application. OK.. Can you imagine the chick in sporting goods at Walmart..Umm I think I did that right..Is the dealer fee enough to make it worth thier while? I would say shove it.
