When does the WDFW generally post the permit summary information? I don't think there is any question the new application categories are going to shake things up a bit; I'm curious if they'll have it out in time so that we can look over the data before our applications for this year are due.

Also, where do I find the same breakdown of information like that for 2009 for previous years?  I can't find out how to get to it aside from using the link someone provided on here.

It's been up for a long time:  http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/permits/results/

All I'm waiting on now is the harvest report for 2010.

Yeah, been there and went through that.  Now I see where the link came from for the 2009 breakdown, but I'm not seeing the same information for years prior. Was the same breakdown, as far as amount of points each applicant had etc. like in the 2009 data done for the other years, or are people who say they've been tracking their draw odds through the years using a different method of calculating it?

Average points to the winner doesn't give you squat for your draw odds. You need the more in depth breakdown like the 2009 summary by species and then individual hunt.

The by year data is in the link I posted just above Bobcat's.
You have to click the year first on the column in the left than dig your way through to find the draw results.
It's kind of messed up on how you navigate your way through to get to the draw results.

I can't wait to see what the draw odds on cow permits were for 336-340.  That should be a real eye opener for those who were used to drawing one every 3 or 4 years or so.  It might take 23 points to draw one of those now.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Gah, still can't figure it out. . .  This is the information I'm after, and for each specific hunt as well, which you get by clicking the link below the species: http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/harvest/2009/species_summary.html

If you guys who can figure it out don't mind, could you post links to the same information for like 2006, 2007, & 2008?

Thanks. . .

I was wrong a few pages back, I had said that the guys that drew the wenaha west had 2,4 and 6 points. I was confused between the west and east, it was the wenaha east guys that had only 2,4 and 6 points which averaged 4 points for that year for muzzy. What a bunch of crap, that is whats wrong with the system. Yea it's a lot to do with luck, but there are too many of us that have been waiting too long and with that average so low I can't imagine what kind of numbers they went up against and beat. I think in areas that have less than 10 tags they shouldn't allow people to apply with less than 8 points, but that's just my  :twocents:

Ive drawn a archery cow tag for the margrette with 4 points and 2 naches cow tags with two points apiece. maybe I'm lucky. no bull tags for me thou and no bulls on the wall. keep drawing cow tags instead. but i still put meat in the freezer, and my family ate elk meat all winter :IBCOOL:. if i ever get a bull big enough to go on the wall it will be awesome. :P hopefully in a couple of years it will happen. the new point system i can get drew for a cow and not waste my bull or quality points.

Anyone?  I've got all my odds figured for hunts I'm interested in with the 2009 data, would like to figure it for other years and see how it's changed.  Thanks guys.
