I hope many people will write the commission and let them know what they think. I hope the commission will shut this thing down. I would love to see the look on Dave Ware's face if the commission votes NO......
This new draw system will do nothing to help the guys with max points trying to draw the most covetted permits.......it will actually probably reduce their chances of drawing. It will allow them to put in for the easier to draw permits, like antlerless permits, but is it really worth reduced odds of drawing the permit they want in order to be able to apply for antlerless?......I doubt it.
WDFW saying there has been lots of public input is a complete joke...... :ass:

I really don't have too much of a problem with all the different categories, although it seems a lot more complicated than necessary and makes me wonder how reliable the actual drawing will be when they have so many separate drawings to conduct. The biggest problem I have with it is that they want to put a person's points into ALL the categories. This is not a fair way of doing it. A
nd the biggest problem of all, is the fact that they lie and say the public was able to provide input, and that the public supports the changes.
How can they know that when the public has only known of the changes for 6 weeks ???
