I'm surprised that you can't start putting in for ghost points in the senior or disabled categories regardless of your age or physical status.  Make it fair....just hand over your wallet, those points will be waiting for you.
I wondered the same thing.  If they do I'm putting in for disabled.  That way when I'm 85 and still haven't drawn anything I might have a chance.
Nature. It's cheaper than therapy.

I don't think it increases odds at all.  It increases the chance to be able to hunt a cow/doe verses previously having to choose one or the other.  It that respect it increases odds but your quality bull or quality buck may decrease because so many will put in for all instead of one.  There are some who don't want ( or can't afford to) to spend the extra funds to buy all the apps.  so that may cause a small decrease in some apps.  I would have liked to have been able to put in my  :twocents: worth but I don't think I would have gotten it right til I actually saw what will actually happen.  I would rather have the chance to modify it cause you can never think of everything until you actually see how it is going to work.  I would like to see the opportunitly to apply for a bull tag on the east side and if you do not draw change it to a west side hunt, or put in for separate tags for bow verses rifle.  But that will throw up alot of other problems that I can't see until I've seen it in progress.  I'm sure that would make it very complicated for the draw system.  Don't you think that sooner or later it will become a draw only state?  That is always a possiblity also.  I'm mot trying to jump down on anyone but I will enjoy being able to put in for a bull and cow tag where as before, at my age, I would worry that if I drew a cow moose I'd be to old to hunt my big bull or never draw, but cow meat in the freezer sounds really good.
