permit changes

I talked to the head of special permits for the wdfw today about the new system, probably no changes for 3 years but he did say they are considering making another category. The new category if they decide would be open to those with 10 points or more only, like special elk permits and other game species. They would allocate 25% of the tags given out for the particular unit to those eligible, I like the Idea myself.

-Thats what they were suppost to do this year!! But what about the hunts with 3 or less tags?? Did he say anything about those??

I did ask that question mostly because thats the number of tags I have been applying for, he wasn't too sure about what to do with that but thought maby just take one tag out of the three.

That would help or 50% of the tags!! Atleast in the quality pool, and if you apply for these hunts being not able to apply in the Bull catagory, helping the Bull odds! And also in the quality if you apply for these you have a 3 day wait till you can start your season like it use to be! And jack the cost way up on the cost to apply for the quality hunts! And limit it to 1 hunt choice, And.... Hell I could go on and on

Washington needs to do like Idaho and split the goat, moose and sheep away from deer and elk.  This would improve the drawing odds in all categories so the hunters would have a better chance of drawing the tags they really want not just one they would settle for.

I believe the department draws the tags by the hunt numbers not our wild ID's, so the drawing are already seperate. I drew 15th in my 1st choice for quality and 29th for my second choice in the quality.

-I think he was meaning pick between the once in alifetime hunts or deer and Elk! That would be a great move to increase draw odds!

There is a lady in charge of permits who I called at the wdfw, it wasn't the permit manager. Sorry can't remember her name. It took a little explaining to her to what kind of info I was after, the info was interesting. She also told me the amount of points the winners had in the catagory I was applying for.
