Who has the most pts built up for OIL tags?

[Whitpirate]

16 for Moose.  I'm not applying for anything else.  If I had saved 500.00 bucks a year I could have flown to AK and had a Yukon hunt by now.

$8000 GUIDED YUKON MOOSE HUNT NOT BAD PRICE

everybody keeps saying max points is 17, but if you look at the '2011Hunter used by Permit category'....It shows a few people had 18 points last year. Please help me understand!!

Probably a guy with 8 points that turned in a poacher.

It's all about luck!!!  I have 5 points, lol.

I have 11 for Quality Bull elk this year though.  Who knows...maybe this is "the year"...

I have a friend that has 17 points for Moose, sheep, and goat, hes almost 70 years old and hopes to draw one soon, I keep telling him that he will probally draw all three at one time.

But the 18 points was for Moose and I thought you could only use those points for deer and elk?

After reading about all you guys not putting in for OIL tags, I'm starting to feel more optimistic about my chances of drawing.

    I did my part, I stayed out of the sheep drawing this year, but I'm in for moose with 16 points.

Luck of the draw, the guy that drew the sheep tag for The Swakane Unit. Drew with only four points and he's still holding the California Sheep world record with the ram he took with the permit.

 Actually he had 6 points but I think everyone gets the point.

Go catch a few poachers and you should pass them up in points in little time!

 I believe poaching points only go toward elk or deer points and not OIL tags.

Yeah huntnphool, I checked WAC 232 and it says elk and deer.  The reg book pg 70 didn't specify.  And maybe someone can help me out if my memory is failing, but wasn't there a thread on here maybe a year ago where a guy helped with a poaching investigation of a moose or sheep.  The warden told him he could put the points in the OIL category or give him money, and many members here told him OIL points would be better than gold. ?
