East/West side WDFW survey

[fair-chase]

I wrote the WDFW a complentary note, saying thankyou for requireing a Wild ID # to comment. I think we should all let them know we thought it was a great idea and helps them get a better, more honest respoce form hunters and not activists..

I voted for no change.

me too.

I voted no change too.  Not that I wouldn't like to see a change, but I didn't like the alternative that was shown.  I would like to see something that increased opportunity and quality experiences for hunters, but it didn't seem (to me) that this was it.  Just guessing, but I think many of you are right--a huge percentage of those that normally would have been 'stuck with an east side tag' because they didn't draw an east side permit would head to the west side.  With as crowded as west side already is....

No change for me and my 3 kids.  So thats 4 more no change votes. 

[B.G.hunter]

Thanks Josh.  I voted no change with mine and my wife's.  But I would like the WDFW to split Northeast and Southeast as well.

It is intresting reading all the comments, between all the BS there seems to be a consensus to get rid of the whole east/west system.  WDFW are you listining? Maybe you should change your survey question!

I think you're reading this wrong blackhorn...the consensus is to keep the east/west system in place thus the votes of no change.

[King Krok]

NO CHANGE!!!!!!!! Don't f it up, please.

[JimmyHoffa]

I think blackhorn might be referring to the comments in the other survey (seasons 2012-2014).  There was a thread that linked to the a question about elk hunting and most of the comments I saw were from antis, but there were also quite a few that were saying to get away from the east/west thing.

Need to change permit issue.  Should not draw with 1 or 2 points.  People are maxed out on points and can not even draw.  Messed up.

I don't agree. It's still a random draw. If our state went to a preference point system like many states, only those with max points would have a chance. Then what incentive would there be for the kids to get started in applying for special permits? If you've gone 15 years without drawing a permit, try applying for hunts that are less popular.

What are you looking to draw with 15 points bob? Sheep  oh yeah 

[WDFW Hates ME!!!]

No change for me and my son. But i really don't think they will listen. I think they have there mind made up already.

[EDT]

I voted NO CHANGE.  I still think/wish Elk hunting in this state should be draw ONLY.
