Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it true that currently east side hunters can just buy an OTC west side elk tag, come over here and hunt branch bulls without having to put in for a permit?

Yes that is correct. Heck someone can come from New York City and purchase a west side elk tag and hunt bulls. There's no restrictions on who can buy tags and there is no limit as to how many they will sell.

Also, points aren't specific to east or west side. Elk points are elk points.

FYI:
Westsiders can buy an OTC tag in the east and hunt "any bull" gmus currently as well.

Concur with if this happens then it will severely decrease odds of drawing a tag.... and could result in increased crowding in west side GMU's.  Not in favor of this one at all.

This will effectively end my dream of hunting a branch bull in the Colockum. If this happens I will burn my points on the easiest branch permit for archery there is and hunt out of state. I have already decided to cut my losses and no longer apply for deer here.

If it happens i will be applying for eastside tags and will huntt he west side. I have 14 points and so does my brother.

I don't want it to happen, i like the split. But just wait. You will see an even bigger crowd on the west side. You think it is crazy now... There will be a few less people hunting spikes.

It won't happen, but if it did, I would probably do the opposite of most people- I would buy a east side tag and apply for west side hunts. If it remains the same, I will continue what I've been doing, and buy a westside tag.

Do you think that would cost you more money buying a eastside tag and applying for west side hunts than it does under the current arrangement?

No, why would it? It's still just an elk tag and one special permit application.

Cool.  Thought it might make a guy interested in putting in for hunts that he may not have had the opportunity to under the current arrangement.
