Why the hell would someone put in for a permit when they know they are not going to use it? That makes zero sense. I can see not being able to use it because something comes up or you get one before the permit season. Some people might really want a tag and its not right for people to put in that have no intent of using it. Plus why would you give the state your money for no reason. My 2 cents.
:yeah: Just buy the ghost point and use it later :twocents:

Another buddy drew a quality buck tag then didn't feel like going deer hunting.

i have heard that in some states the antis are doing this now.. flooding the permit system with applications, the ones they win are never used, so they are taking hunters out of the field basically..I have heard the same thing.
Of course some have life changes that keep them from using, I thought about entering a few draws this year and later I ended up moving. Luckily I decided at the last second to abstain from participating.

This discussion isn't about that. We all know life happens and that's totally understandable. I'm talking about knowing BEFORE you even put in for it that you won't use it.

I guess in that case, why would you want to waste it, but it is theirs and they can do whatever they want with it.

Thats why we should all lie on our harvest statisitcs. KIDDING!I thought the huntwa community already did this?...
KIDDING!

The managers setting permit levels assume an estimated rate of non-usage. It could actually cause a higher success ratio than desired if everyone hunted that buys or draws a tag. I think this is a non-issue. ;)
:yeah:

I have zero interest of shooting a doe. That's just me. Does nothing for me and the amount of meat you get isn't worth it. Call me green, but that's how I see it. I only believe in shooting mature bucks that have had a chance to live.
I should add I wouldnt actually out in for a special permit to save a doe.

So Idaho made them OTC for anyone then close the season when the quota is met.
In this case however, you think you're saving a doe.

You have to remember that even if you never had any interest in hunting a cow or doe and had put in for a special permit in the past you were given equal points arcoss the board in those antlerless categories. I'm sure there are a lot of us that didn't have antlerless interest that were all of a sudden toward the top of the list of the antlerless categories. Those people may still have zero interest but just apply to dump the category. :dunno:
People around here do it to prevent cows from being killed. They will get a tag and throw it in the garbage and start applying again next year. They say "potentially saving a cow is worth $6" :dunno:

I drew my first second deer permit this year. I was lucky enough to harvest a Bull and a buck already so I dont really need a doe. While I don't want the tag to to waste, I also don't want to risk wasting any meat. Intentionally wasting a tag seems stupid to me.Thats why they shouldn't allow hunters to draw mutiple tags , draw in order of preferance ie quailty , bull , antlerless . one you draw one catigory then lock it .
