Who is gettin a woody for elk season?

[WSU]

Do you see a benefit in having 14 elk points and the multi-season permit? Only advantage I see is the ability to apply for both east and westside permits. Just curious what is giving your dad a "woody."

-If I had 14 Bonus pts and just drew multi season I would be one happy camper right now! But I didnt

Why?

It seems to me that if 14 points help you to draw a "quality" bull permit, the multiple permit that cost $180 will be wasted. No?

No.  Definitely not wasted.  You can apply for east side bull permits and hunt west side if you don't get drawn.  Seems like a good way to use your 14 points to me.  Sure is better than drawing something on the west side with those 14 points, or hunting spikes until you draw on the east side...

Sure. But I wouldn't want to spend the $180 on a multiple season permit in the same year I drew a "once-in-a-lifetime" bull permit. The multi-season just allows you to hunt general seasons that anybody and everybody can hunt. With a very limited bull elk permit in hand, I wouldn't even want to waste any time with the general seasons that year. This is, of course, assuming that the special permit hunt is one that is practically guaranteed success if you put the time and effort into it.

I guess I and others above just see it differently then you do.  I personally wouldn't want to waste 14 points on a west side tag, and I wouldn't want put in for east side tags for however many years it takes to draw one because all the years you don't get drawn you have to hunt spikes.  $180 would be a small price to me to have my cake and eat it too.  I think of it this way: assuming I draw both the multi-season and the draw tag, that $180 just saved me 14 years of spike hunting with a million other spike hunters.

[bobcat]

OK, I understand now. It gives you the ability to hunt bulls on the westside and still apply for east side bull permits. Makes sense. I hadn't really thought of it in that way since I am done applying for bull permits. Or I should say WAS done applying for them, until the new permit system this year, will now let me apply for both bulls and cows, so of course I will now be putting in for everything.

Im not quite the expert with the old point system like you are there Bobcat, but ya we are aware of being able to hunt both sides with that..   , but just having a bunch of points kind gives me a woody!!   Granit we never draw *censored*, but what the hell a guys can hope!! I think my whole Fam is maxed out in every category...      Hey Bobcat, whats better 3 points or 14, just curious if their is any advatages im not aware of with that equation?    ..  Just Kiddin Bobcat!!

  Hey WSU, You got the right idea!!  !!

Wife finally drew something too, she got her Multi season elk tag !! I Know where she is putting in for  Definately Archery, and definatle a big bull tag 

Is it elk season yet  

[sandythebowtotenmama]

I'm itching to get into the woods, been there a hundred times already, can't get in too far yet, but as for a woody, no, I'm a female, sorry,lol....

[LongTatLaw]

i dont think its open to draw or maybe..but it would be a tough call if i had enough points to "pick" my area for a special permit...blues sound good but it would be a tough call for the quinalt area where BTKR took his rosey...that thing is a damn BEAST

and he says that was the little one he shot after too many missed chances at a "big in"  WTF

if u held that rosey of BTKRs in ur hand...youd but whacking to the word Quinalt...I know I do

My old man and I are actually going on a 9 day elk hunt in Western Montana from sept 24th - oct 3rd. I can't wait to go and we too will be holding out for a good bull. Our goal is to both shoot something over 300 inches but hell, I will be happy just being out chasing the screaming bulls around for a week plus!
