As a side note. Just because the tag says Nooksack doesn't mean it is the same as the quality tag. You might want to look at the description before you get your panties in a wad...

So give the fifteen extra tags to the majority or at least some of the tags to the majority.The other option (status quo) is offer zero permits via the draw to any group.

I take it you don't have kids and don't have an elderly father/grandfather that hunt? I think they need to have more quality tags allotted to youth and elderly personally. Look at the youth and elderly tags, they are damn near ALL antlerless. We need to get kids involved in hunting and get them excited about it or the future of hunting will be bleak. As far as the elderly, I'd have given anything to be able to take my grandfather out for one last chance at a decent deer or elk before he passed away.

There doesnt need to be more quality tags for select groups that can put in for general Quality tags as well as their selective (youth, 65+, Master Hunter, Disabled...) permit categories. Those select groups already get preference for 800+ permits with basically no competition.

Sorry to hear about your grandpa. If he was a good Hunter I am sure he took some nice animals. What's wrong with a general season I am so sick of these special groups. We're the minority we need a handout mentality. Youth shouldn't get a handout they should work hard and one day will hopefully earn a nice animal. Old timers such not get handouts either. Our society is so entitlement based. Also the nooksack tag if I drew it I would be hunting south river exactly where 4941 is so ya I'm not happy. I recently heard of a 380 plus shed found in 437.

Honestly what are you talking about I don't understand that logic it's either give these extra elk to minorities or get rid of hunting the Skagit valley all together please explain

Someday you'll be old and want that over 65 advantage buddy and as far as youth, get them interested early or the sport dies out

I do, however, somewhat agree with you that the larger user group that has horrible odds to begin with should be getting the bulk of new permits. Youth, senor and disabled can apply for regular bull and quality bull too. Sounds like they get a separate category with better odds to apply for the same permits--like an extra die toss.

Logistics dictate many of these hunts. The status quo is to offer a very limited number of permits to landowners and very few permits to master hunters. These permits are never offered via draw. The general hunt lasted 20 plus years through the herds catastrophic struggles, then was ended in one very magnified act by sportsman.So give the fifteen extra tags to the majority or at least some of the tags to the majority.The other option (status quo) is offer zero permits via the draw to any group.
