Your first screenshot there is 2022 regulations.
Oh that would make sense. I am looking at the e-regulations, not sure why it pulled up 2022.

I think your only safe bet is to just not try for colockum… 🤷♂️Your first screenshot there is 2022 regulations.

I heard somewhere 2054 is where you want to go. ;)2054 is for lazy hunters and road hunters. Probably the easiest elk unit in the state. No much elevation change, so you don't even need to get into shape to hunt it. And roads everywhere through that unit.

I have also heard they have really well appointed Motel rooms to rent too, not to mention the myriad of dining options.

I thought those were the years you were predicting you would draw... 2057 or 2058...

Probably a bit more accurate

So true!! My odds with 28 points for the clock archery tag is around 15%, sure it’s better than most, but 15% after 28 years! Points are waaaaaaay over rated! The young people on here should not live (hunt) on the point system, just go hunt and use the point system as a bonus!
Exactly why I hunt and apply in just about every other western state. WA is just a backup plan if lightning strikes in the draws.

I sure hope for everybody's sake you draw this year so we don't have to hear about 29... :chuckle:

hey now, I’m much better than I was a few years ago when I couldn’t believe I didn’t draw with 13-15 points!! 😁. I hate to say this, but I have 28 points in “bull” and “quality” , so you are stuck with me at least another year!! Lol!So true!!

Are you sure your odds are 15%? Sounds very optimistic to me.

I had a gentleman from here who I call "the rain man" , lol, he's a numbers guy and I asked him to run me some numbers. Now that percentage can go 1-2% either way and it's from last years numbers, number of applicants, number of tags and I think he also looks up the other competition to see their points. It's not perfect but at least gives me an idea.So true!! My odds with 28 points for the clock archery tag is around 15%, sure it’s better than most, but 15% after 28 years!

784 names in the hat! :yike: :yike: :yike: I'd feel more positive about it if they didn't have an infinity of numbers to assign... I would think if the pool of numbers to pull from was the total number of names in the hat, the odds might be better?? but I'm not a numbers guy.
You really only have 1 name in the hat for the draw that’s why the odds stink. But you have 784 more chances of that 1 being a lower number than any one else.

oh yeah, I’m very familiar with how it works. Just need one low number!! :brew:784 names in the hat! :yike: :yike: :yike: I'd feel more positive about it if they didn't have an infinity of numbers to assign...

Agree, I don’t expect to draw that’s for sure.But you should definitely go eastside archery and give it a shot….(so you’re not applying for the same thing as me :chuckle:)

We’re not going down this road.
Now unlocked. Keep the native hunting controversy stuff out of this thread. The topic of this thread is regarding Colockum special permit questions.
Note to all. The ban hammer will drop in a hurry on this if it goes the wrong way.

yes and no, the biggest problem was it’s not the subject this thread was started for. But yeah, if we started a thread on the truths of what has happened, it would turn into a bashing, which I see as fair, call a spade a spade. So we’d need a different topic, but not sure it would last long.So telling the truth about:hello: I’m just here because it’s kind of my job. :chuckle:and I’m here to make sure you don’t fall asleep on the job!

It's a thread jack. That's all it is. Don't make it out to be more than what it is. A member started a thread with some questions regarding confusion with the reg's and permits. Let's leave that be the topic of this thread. If you want to discuss tribal hunting, start a new thread. Be truthful, act like adults and keep it respectful and the discussion can run it's course. If it goes south, it'll get locked and or nuked too.
