I'm taking my kids to Montana, for the same $180 I can buy 2 WT doe tags and the odds of filling those two are substantially higher than filling a tag here.

I think if they had any brains at all, they would jsut make it a tag option and forego the drawings.(they could still put a max number on them, first come first serve)  They'd save a buttload that way and probably sell more of them. :dunno:

Nah. You lose your pt when you BUY the permit. If you dont pick it up it goes to the next person drawn.

I will probably get drawn for both deer and elk again.  That cost me a lot of money the last time.
Cut em!

Neither of your statements are correct. Just like with any special permit, your points go to zero when you are successful in drawing that permit. If you choose not to purchase the tag, that is your loss, and you also still lose your points.

Also, they no longer do multiple drawings. The first time is the one and only. All who are drawn have till the end of August to buy the tag.

From the WDFW site:

Quote
8.  What if I am drawn, but decide not to purchase the permit?
Successful applicants will be allowed to purchase the permit at any time prior to September 1st. The multiple-season permit is non-refundable and non-transferable.

9.  Do I earn points for the multiple-season permit application if I do not draw a permit?
An applicant will retain a point each time he/she does not draw a permit.

Id bet alot of those that get drawn are antis etc., so a substantial part of the revenue is not recognized because of that....they will be workin over time putting in for permits this year.....bet all the wolfies are doing the same thing.
