"Almost 65" under the new permitting system
Curly:
That problem could have been helped by making the applicant choose which eligible category their points were to be applied instead of simply throwing points into all categories. But WDFW said that would be too complicated for Outdoor Central.................. :rolleyes:
So for the guy who has been approaching 65 the last several years thinking that he would just use the accumulated points eventually for a senior hunt. Then he gets screwed by this change........that sucks. I agree with Bobcat, they should have just had antlered and antlerless categories and not all these other ones. This new system stinks....:crap:
Curly:
oh.........and BTW, this is another thing that could have been brought to the attention of Dave Ware if he would have allowed the public to take a look at the proposal last year. :bash:
provider:
It is reasonable that you are only allowed to accrue bonus points in categories in which you are eligible.
I mean c'mon, otherwise that would be like if I expected to receive Social Security benefits someday?, I would be expected to pay for it no... oh wait a minute... forget that thought.
On a serious note, you will notice when purchasing special permit applications, you can only buy those in which you are eligible... the way it should be. I can't imagine many individuals saving up their points for 65 and older permits. But hey, who knows what senility can do to you?
Ray:
In light of the changes I don't think there should be pools based upon age group..... Or based upon master hunter classifications. The way it should be is that everyone should have the same opportunities to buy the same permit applications. With the exceptions of disabled veterans and other disabled individuals.
The changes were poorly organized and received very little to zero public input. Contrary to the claims by the game department. Pretty typical of many changes this year and in years past. It's fairly evident the wdfw doesn't seem to care about hunters. Otherwise they would have attempted to get real input. From the looks of my purchases so far this year they have actually received less of my cash.
