Quality or Bull special permit?

[dreamingbig]

Bring it on!  I want to have the problem of being drawn for more than one!  I am 0 for 7 on elk.

Last year my uncle drew both the quality bull and the general bull tag. Then he backed it up with a quilomene sheep tag. Talk about a busy year for him.

Wow, how did the hunts go?  Did he get a nice sheep?

If you put in for both & draw both can you decline one & keep yer points?

If I am drawn for more than one permit and decide not to use one of them, can I return my permit and have my points restored?
 No, the only reasons points can be restored are outlined below. If your situation fits the criteria below and you would like to return your permit and have your points restored, contact the Wildlife Program at (360) 902-2515.
 

• You are active duty military personnel and are transferred or otherwise obligated and unable to participate prior to the opening of the special hunt for which you were selected (documentation is required).
• If you, your spouse, immediate family member, or a group member are hospitalized or under the care of a physician making it impossible for you to participate in the hunt (documentation is required).
• Landowners within the hunt boundary did not allow access during the time of the hunt (verification is required).
• When regulations are in conflict and you, through no fault of your own, cannot participate.
• If technical difficulties occur, that are solely the fault of WDFW (as verified by WDFW), and result in your application being excluded from the drawing process.

Yes halflife he did get a good sheep. After the drying period it was 172. He ended up getting a 5x6 off the white river tag he drew.

How about? The way I understand is that if you put in for quality and cow and you get one you keep your points for the other. True?

[bobcat]

No that is not true. Read what I posted above. It is from the WDFW website.

I just got off the phone with the wildlife folks, my understanding is true. if you put in for quality and cow and get one you will keep your points for the other.

Of course that is the case; that is the reason why they created the categories.

[buckhorn2]

Thats for sure. I was thinking about gas but when you add up the cost of a hunting and fishing liscense and tags then put in for permits and a raffle ticket and do it for a couple family members hunting is expensive.

Oh yes, you only lose points in the category you were drawn for. Sorry I guess I mis-read your post. I thought you said if you were drawn in both categories. We've been over this about a million times on here.

[sneakyjake]

It's always good to ask, the regs are confusing.

[unluckyjohn]

million and one. Thanks bobcat

With 16 points there is no way I'm putting in for both, I don't know why people would risk throwing away any points by taking the chance of drawing both. It sucks that some of those tags are going to waste when it takes so long for some of us to draw. I think they should only let you pick one permit catagory in each species, that might make the odds a little better. just my
