Permit Change

[Curly]

2 more people have voted that they like the proposal since I asked the question as to what they like about it.  You guys too shy to state what you like about it?   I'm just curious why you like it compared to the old system.

   I'd like to know why they like it too?

If its a little unfair for people with few points, shouldnt it be?

[Curly]

It should be unfair for those with few points but the people w/ lots of points are getting those points in all categories.  They haven't been applying in those categories ever because they didn't exist............now they get all their points across the board?  That is the unfair part.

Yes, if it were only a little. This new proposal seems to be way out of whack and it will cost you more.

I voted not sure.  I think most of you guys are getting to worked up about this without knowing all the details.  I'm not saying that it won't be bad but, WDFW has given out very little information about how this is going to work.  I will make a decision after I find out all the details.

Maybe we should lock the threads until we see it in print and then unlock them again.

[boneaddict]

Unfortunately it will be too late by then.  IF ITS NOT already.  I would bet this is a done deal and its window dressing from here on out.  I plan on kicking and sceaming the whole way though.

[Bigshooter]

I bet before the public commet period they will have something on there website that shows exactly how this will work.  At least I hope so.

They've been working on this for almost a year (at least.)  In my opinion, they aren't going to change anything about it, no matter what we say. I think it's pretty much already set in stone.

In trying to think on the positive side, I'm hoping my dad and uncle will both be able to draw a good cow permit, with their 8 points each, and I will help them on their hunts, since I don't have enough points to draw anything myself. My only real hope is for moose, for myself.

Hmm. You don't think 8 categories, points distributed across the board or tougher odds are worth getting "worked up" over?

It is clearly stated that those things could happen.

[huntnphool]

Like Jack and others have said, I think its a done deal as well.

I am up in the wind on this one. I am not sure. Are we looking at this wrong?? I am reading the article on the WDfW website. I am thinking they are considering the "Quality Hunts" to be oil tags.  then bull/buck tags in the same bracket. They talked about how people "complained that the odds of securing a permit for especially popular hunts are extremely low".   This would make me think that they are having a bull/buck bracket were all buck and bull permits would be in the same category. This in a way would make drawing a tag a little easier as you will have to choose if you would want to put in for a big bull tag like dayton or a big buck tag like Entiat. Or I guess you could put in for both in that bull/buck bracket. Just an observation.

No, I don't think they're going to combine the "quality" deer and elk permits into one category. They will have quality permits for elk, and quality permits for deer. Separate categories. At least that's the way I understand it. Could be wrong. We won't really know until it's all in writing in the 2010 Hunting Regulations.
