Title: How many points per draw?
Post by: Dmanmastertracker on February 02, 2009, 09:52:12 AM: Can be either buck, or any deer tag, no doe tags please.

Post by: Gutpile on February 02, 2009, 09:55:48 AM: I go for steptoe doe tag or late buck palouse tag. usually 2 points is all you need. Sometimes you'll draw every year. The number of points depends on which hunt your applting for. they're all different.

Post by: Antlershed on February 02, 2009, 10:09:37 AM: I didn't vote cause the only deer permits I have ever drawn were the youth ones. I'm still waiting to draw an eastside tag. I think I have 7 points this year.

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on February 02, 2009, 10:29:49 AM: You could put 8 or more, given this will be your 8th draw.

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on February 02, 2009, 11:43:31 AM: Not very good odds so far, the one person at 2 points had a doe tag.

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on February 02, 2009, 01:08:58 PM: These result's are actually a lot worse than I thought they would be. Most Western States have a higher percentage of draw areas that average more like 4-6 years, instead of 8-12 years to draw.

Post by: Bigshooter on February 02, 2009, 03:58:32 PM: I have never drawn. Think I have 7 or 8 points now.

Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: WAPITIHUNTER on February 17, 2009, 08:20:41 PM: 9 Years to draw Desert D. 6 of those years were applied for the rifle tag. Drew the Archery tag.
Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: jackelope on February 17, 2009, 08:33:07 PM: these years to draw stats are all relative according to what tag you are putting in for.
if you're putting in for a Alta rifle tag it will take 12 points, but it doesn't take more than 3 or 4 to draw a blue mountain foothills whitetail tag...
something to remember.

Yeah but that's because Washington has relatively few special permits, and general seasons in which there is an unlimited number of tags sold. Those other states probably have most, if not all, or their deer hunting by permit only.

My luck in the draws hasn't been all that bad. I drew Umtanum in 2000 with 3 points, Entiat in 2004 with 4 points, and Grayback in 2008 with 4 points. All rifle buck tags.
Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: finnman on February 17, 2009, 09:35:13 PM: Have done pretty good on deer permits, drew Ritzville with 4 points, then a doe tag with 1, then Entiat with 1. So I have had 2 late buck hunts in the last 5 years.

Took 12 to finally get an elk tag though.

Post by: PacificNWhunter on February 18, 2009, 10:43:02 AM: Never been.
Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: ThePascoKid on February 18, 2009, 10:46:25 AM: I drew the ML Blue Mt. whitetail buck permit with 2 points, I had drawn it every year for 4 years until they did a re-draw in 2007, hence the 2 points for 2008's draw.
Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: Cascade on February 18, 2009, 10:49:07 AM: Took 6 points to draw a bull tag, still waiting for the deer and everything else.
Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: WDFW-SUX on February 18, 2009, 10:54:28 AM: Ive got 10 deer points and have never drawn.........I have applied for archery and modern permits in the past.

Im now holding out for one specific unit even if it takes another 20 years.

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on February 27, 2009, 10:02:56 AM: I've put in for: Green River A, Mission, Alkali, LT Murray and a couple others over 8 years, no dice. I'll need venison bad enough next year I may put in for a doe tag :dunno:
Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: huntnphool on February 27, 2009, 04:36:37 PM: Wow guys. I have drawn Toutle archery bull tags twice, three late buck tags and a moose tag since it started, looking forward to one of those raffle tags this year to go along with them. I have also drawn 9 of the last 12 years for Montana Combo as well, and many more before that I just didn't keep track until the Washington point system started.
Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: Slayock on March 06, 2009, 08:55:43 PM: I drew that late whitetail tag two years in a row and my dad has gotten in 4 out of 6 years. I guy I worked with drew it 9 out of 11 years. It wierd how it works because some of my friends have 12 points now.
Title: Re: How many points per draw?
Post by: skybusterbo on March 07, 2009, 09:46:04 AM: I missed this poll somehow. To late to vote. Anyway, I have 10 points for deer and elk. Have not drawn anything in this great state of ours. :'(
