Drew Coweeman Cow and Toutle Bull

[Deer slayer]

My hunting group of four drew a coweeman cow and a toutle bull.  I am pumped because I know both units very well.  Ofcourse I will see very little of the coweeman.

Congrats!!

My party drew 7 cow tags in the Coweeman..  Let the blood bath begin and full freezers for everyone!!

[Deer slayer]

That should be fun.  Let me know if you need help with the unit.

It sure would be nice if you could turn the cow permits back in and get your points back or even better allow you to fill both permits.  Two elk would be nice. If they made it where you buy a second tag it would generate some more revenue which is what the state is about.

we talkin rifle or bow or muzzle here... my som got a coweeman cow tag for January and he also got a Chewach quality deer .... can wait ....

[Deer slayer]

I have the November cow permit and the rifle toutle bull. So I won't use the cow permit.   

[BigBucks]

we have the november cow rifle!

[Deer slayer]

That will be easy. If you need help or don't know the area let me know. How many cow tags?

[BigBucks]

We have 7 cow tags and 3 bull tags, we should do the cows up pretty easy, we shall see on the bulls.  thanks for the offer on the help, I think we are good though been hunting it since 99 now but I am sure you may know holes that I don't know.

It is a shame that you lose all of your cow points then too. The WDFW needs to change that asap!

You dont even want to know what I lost.  Its a little disturbing.

If a person doesn't want to lose points in more than one category, they have the option of not applying that year, in one of the categories, OR you can apply for the "point option". So you still gain a point but don't risk drawing a permit you won't use and losing all your points.   

[CavemantheHunter]

That is still a horrible option. If you get drawn for two tags, you should be able to tell the game department if you want them both or if you want to hunt one of those and then save the points for the rest. You pay separately for each tag, so you shouldn't lose one.

I realize that and do that at times.  I figured we as a group would draw the cow tags.  I never would have guessed that the group would draw quality toutle bull.  So it was a very nice surprise when I saw that I got the toutle tag but then realized that the cow points would go to waist.  Oh well.

I've got 11 or 12 points now, and I only actually put my name in the hat for quality until I draw that, then it's going to be in the hat for quality and general bull until I draw that etc.  I don't want to risk blowing any points unless I've only got maybe 1-5 in the quality category so a long shot of actually drawing in the same year. (Though I know it's still a long shot even with 11-12 points!)
