Probably only the Master Hunters...

On a side note.Seems like no one is upset that they are taking away the bull and buck permits from the Master Hunters.
"Had we chosen other ways to distribute points, I am certain we would have been criticized for them as well." If they had decided to let the applicant choose what category they wanted their points to be placed I doubt anyone would complain.
What makes me mad about this is that it was nice for kids because drawing a cow tag only took maybe 2-3 years. So every two to three years if you have a kid you can plan on them smoking a cow. Or at least seeing legal cows to shoot. What about now? How long is it gonna take now for your kids to get drawn for a cow? Now that a bunch of guys with 8-10 points are in the mix. It's gonna be just as tough now to draw a cow tag as it will to draw a bull tag. Maybe even harder. In some GMU's they give out more branch tags than cow tags. How do we expect to keep hunter numbers up or keep our kids interested if they don't have opportunities? That's where our hunting numbers went. Without opportunity people either give up or they go elsewhere.
I have no interest in "quality" buck and bull permits. I wonder if I can sell my points to someone who does.
