Sure Bobcat and numbers are a concern, thats why we turned a bunch of wolves lose and let native americans harvest what they want.  Cut back on the Bull tags on the Clock...seemed to work there.(sarcastic)  How about deer in the Swakane.  Lets control the participants and let another user group reep the advantage.

Yeah Boneaddict you're right, there's no point in increasing deer and elk numbers just so the indians can kill them. Just like when they made the Umtanum a permit only deer unit. Numbers of bucks increased so the indians went in there in the winter and shot them all. You're so right. Every time I start thinking about it's too bad we can't manage our deer and elk for quality I remember that it's impossible because of the indians and the fact that they don't have to follow our rules. I think it's about time for me to move to a different state.

Im most interested to see what Regular vs Quality is all about... does it mean that OTC is gone? or does it mean that some good draw unit wont quite measure up to quality status...

This is definitely not helping the little ones get into the sport...

[Ridgerunner]

no otc is gone, just some buck and bull permits will now become "quality" kind of like utah does with the henrys and pauns.

[Ridgerunner]

Look at the positive instead of getting one not drawn per species you get multiple, more for your money......

[WDFW-SUX]

creating a seperate draw for the quality units is going to send the odds into the stratosphere...(sigh)

Im just glad I have points and am not starting from scratch.  Anyone who is over 10 points is most likely going to draw a buck and a quality buck before the low point folks ever get a whiff.....how that for fair

While Washington will enhance their revenue - the out of state permits and applications will go up based on Washington's new plan

[WDFW-SUX]

Yeah, after I cash out this time around Im out. I don't need to contribute to the clown show any longer than I have too.

[Ridgerunner]

we should suggest they just charge $15 an app to apply, triple the revenue right there.

Why not 50$ crack Ho's need free government services too. Dont forget this money doesn't go to the dept.. It goes to the general fund.  Id bet anything that Gregoire told them to do "whatever it takes" to maximize the amount of revenue they can collect. This has nothing to do with game management and they know it.  TRAITORS

Because after I draw out....I'm outta here. F'EM

[WDFW-SUX]

This is about balancing a bankrupt states budget anyway that they can...Nothing more.

They must look at wildlife with such contempt to pimp it out the way they do..really pisses me off.

It is interesting listening to how the guys with every few points will be ut of luck and the guy with many points is in the bag. Most the time its the guys with 10+ points   abut the guy with 1 point got drawn  



I belive the WDFW are assuming that the meat hunters will not appy for the trophy tags and give the trophy guy a better chance at being drawn and vise versa. Th trophy guy will not put in for a meat tag.

Personally i think they should go with the Bull/Buck, Cow/Doe permit and you lose points no matter what you draw.
That will keep the meet hunters and the trophy hunters seperate, well sort of. ( do knw some meat hunters that would nt waste there points or money on a tropgy tag, the meat is the most inportant thing of the harvest, because yu can not eat antlers.
