@GurrCentral, any comments :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:
Once upon a time a 17yr old young man drew a coveted WA sheep tag with 3 points.....he is still grateful for all of the knowledge and help he acquired from a few guys crazy about bighorns! At the top of that list is some yahoo who goes by the name of DOUBLELUNG!! HAHA

I feel for the fellas with tons of points that don't get drawn year after year, but it's pretty damn cool to have a shot just starting to get in. I'd not put in if there wasn't any chance at all for 15+ years.

They should just run a traditional lottery for OIL tags.
Post by: Jpmiller on May 26, 2017, 04:40:50 PM
My son drew Mt goat with 3 points a few years ago....... and then got his points restored due to a wdfw ruling.
What is the story on this dan-o

I think if they kept the app fee the same but had to front the 300+ dollars or so for the tag if drawn and get a refund it would drop applicants but wdfw would lose a bunch of money so wont ever happen... I have 20 points at age 29 and most likely will never draw any oil permit before my hunting career is over, but i do like the fact everyone has a chance.
CCH
At your age and your points, I am pretty confident you will at least draw 1 OIL tag before you're too old to hunt, whatever age that is😆
Post by: crabcreekhunter on May 27, 2017, 08:56:31 PM
I hope your right, have one less for goat and under ten for moose which i have less desire to hunt. All ya can do is play the game!I think if they kept the app fee the same but had to front the 300+ dollars or so for the tag if drawn and get a refund it would drop applicants but wdfw would lose a bunch of money so wont ever happen...

This was not a youth tag.

Aaron drew with 6 points and scored on the current World Record Cali.
And the perfect storm! That record will stand for a loooooooong time!

My dad and I drew as partners with Zero points.
Of course back then there were no points.
Perhaps those were the good old days of WA hunting.
Around 85' I think.

The next year they went to the point system and made it a OIL tag and every year since then I have put in for another goat tag.
