Does anyone know who is really the one pulling the strings in the wildlife program these days... I think they need some special education.

You ever notice that the answers on those surveys are never the one you want to give or have? In school I seem to remember the mutiple choice tests always had "non of the above"

I just cant believe it, Dreaming of my Bull tag will pretty much never happen now, I was thinking in the next few years and thought wdfw was going to do good this permit season and to get stabbed in the back with this horse*censored* system is beyond words. Piss on Dave Ware and the rest of um!

Im always in the minority...its weird.

It might be like Utah, Wyoming,...   I will wait to be amazed.

Yep. College courses on survey making just so you can get the answer you want or need.

Lets assume for a second that "quality" hunts only consisted of 1000 applicants for 10 tags before this proposal, and there were 10,000 total hunters in the state. Competition was only among those 1000 but now all the rest are put in to that competition as well. Even if they only have 1 point each because they never applied there before, odds have significantly been reduced, and odds of ever drawing again if you do get lucky, are slim to none.

WDFW...new motto just released..

"Get ritch or Die trying"

[SuperDave]

I see the odds going way down for future quality hunts.  Similar to the system in Wyoming, you will only draw a quality hunt once in your life, with this setup.  Unbelievable!

[boneaddict]

I honestly can't believe ANYONE and I mean ANYONE is for this.  Trophy or meat.  You just cut your odds in drastically.

It would seem that the quality hunts would get more people applying just due to the fact that they are in their own special Quality Hunt Permit category. Now people who never applied for a special permit in their life, will be applying for these permits. Draw odds will be worse, but yes the WDFW will be bringing in more revenue. Which I suppose is a good thing. Don't you guys think it's just about time Washington state becomes a draw only state like most other western states already are?

Picture a cow hunt on the manastash with odds like desert A...its coming

[boneaddict]

Not jus tthe quality hunt.  Now I can put in for a meat cow and I won't have to worry about losing my points.

Don't you guys think it's just about time Washington state becomes a draw only state like most other western states already are?

I really have never understood why anyone would want that. Why would you really want to have to wait to draw a tag in order to hunt the state you live in? I love camping but having to wait a couple years just to hunt a general hunt does not appeal to me at all, am I missing the obvious here?

[billythekidrock]

Of course they're going to "follow though." After all, this is coming about because of the surveys they did asking us hunters what they could do to make us all happier.  

Yep and typical of state govt. they get it all wrong and screw everyone. Who in their right mind would ask for that many choices? Why add to the confusion?

Why can't they make it simpler? I could see a buck permit and a doe permit or cow & bull. But why "quality" and MH? Just to make more money? To add to the confusion we face every year?
