[bigpaw 77]

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

[SniperDanWA]

No change, will they listen.  Doubt it.

[DoubleJ]

Me and my 2 kids also voted no change

[Curly]

No change, will they listen.  Doubt it.

They will only appear to listen if the results come out as like they want.  The surveys are all for show so that we get the feeling that they are trying to listen.......   (Sorry for being so cynical.......but I don't trust WDFW).

I did a little survey, and marketihng work for the university i attended. They either knew the truth and needed a survey/study to prove the change was necessary. (A waste of time and $$$ if you ask me.) Or had a specific answer they wanted to have verified.  The "Truth" in both cases was not of intrest to the powers that be..

Cant say I agree with any of it .... I think the spike only thing definately s---ks!!  I think they should make it 4 pt or better just like they did with the whitetail in gmu 117  let those spikes grow alittle or switch it back and forth every 3 years ....

now if they would just make hunters pick deer tags! keep some of the westsiders from hunting late buck here

[JimmyHoffa]

So, what is the money angle here?  Are there THAT many say westside tag holders that don't apply for special permits period because they would only apply for eastside permits and can't?  Would it generate that much more in 'Quality Bull' special permit application sales at the new price?  I'm assuming most people that buy eastside tags also buy permits because the spike thing, but on westside you can shoot bulls without a special permit anyways.

[hucklebeary]

I voted no and urge eveyone to if they ever want to draw a eastside tag in there lifetime.

I live on the west side now. (I'M FROM CHEWELAH) Not by choise, but by job. I hunted the east side for elk for 20 + years. Put in for all the good draws. Never did draw a tag. Now that I live on the wet side I drew a good tag last year and cow tag this year. I say go for it. There is some good draws over here. So I say go for the east side draws. It will open it up over here.
