Who has the most pts built up for OIL tags?

[Bob33]

There was one year that a few people were left out of the draw and it wasn't discovered till after results had been released so if I remember correctly those folks got an extra point for the error. That is why a few folks have one more than max on OIL species.

That would just about explain the mysterious extra points, but why is that some have TWO extra points? Last year max would have been 16, but the data shows some people with 18 in the moose, sheep, and goat categories. So maybe the people who got left out of the draw that year actually were given two points for the mistake? Or perhaps just those who complained the loudest?

With regular and poacher points combined you can come up with any number from 1 to 27 (or 37, 47, 57, ...)

But poacher points don't go toward OIL permits.  They probably got 2 points for the WDFW (or Outdoor Central) screw-up..........

You are right.  Thanks for the correction.

So how else can a person acquire extra points? How many points do you get for being a DFW employee?   

DFW employees are not eligible for poacher points.

The sad part is they will get harder to draw because the wolf numbers will grow. You have to wonder if you should pull the plug on the special permits..

pull the plug

I wasn't serious when I said that. I know it probably wasn't obvious from my post though.

Actually, I knew you were being sarcastic and not serious.

"Poacher points" were discussed, and the fact that they can be placed only in deer or elk permit categories, so how did some people have 17 or 18 points for moose last year, when the max should have been 16? That was the question.

I got 13
And after reading all this I dont think I will get drawn, and not feeling as lucky as 15 min. ago ...    Because everyone is feeling lucky so it should be big computer glitch of a yr with everyone getting drawn! 

Good luck guys   

lol

I've got 16 moose, 16 sheep and 15 goat.  Sad to look at certain hunts and see that applicants with 16 points didn't draw but lucky drew with 2 points.  Sure pays to be lucky in these draws.

They don't get points of any kind.

Here are draw results from 2011 for "Any Moose".  These show, by number of points, what percent of the applicants drew.  There is a blip at 17 points because there were 10 applicants and 1 drew.

Points   Drew
1   0.00%
2   0.00%
3   0.00%
4   0.10%

somebody should add a poll to this topic... 

[huntnphool]

16 for both sheep and goat. When I drew a moose tag there was a gal that drew her first year of applying in there hunting the same time.

[Ridgerunner]

Based on those numbers the system is working as designed the problem is too much demand and not enough tags.  The question is how supportive would people be of increasing tag numbers knowing trophy quality would go down?

[HornHoarder]

I have always thought that there were plenty of moose, enough to at least double the number of permits they give out. Sure trophy quality could be effected, but I doubt it. Then maybe people wouldnt have to wait 20+ years for a tag.
