Look at the Senior elk category. Only two hunts are listed in the entire category, so they made those available to any senior with a westside elk tag (both are on the westside.) Just think how bad the odds will be on those!
Same thing with moose. Only two options in the youth category, two options in the senior category, 1 option in the disabled hunter category, and two in the antlerless category. WHY did they make a "category" for only 1 or 2 hunts? :bash:
There should be two categories for each species: buck/bull and antlerless. That's it. The disabled, senior, and youth tags are antlerless hunts anyway and could have been included with all the other antlerless hunts, in the antlerless category.

It will take me some time to use my points wisely.. Im going to need to change my weapon several times to get the hunts I want..
It sure seems like they pimped out the elk on those September rifle hunts just so they could create a "Quality" permit application doesn't it.....$$$$$$$$$$ :bs:

I put in for muzzy elk on the east side again this year and thought this new permit system would suck but now i know it really sucks. Of course the quality tag has some great options- but then when you go to decide on the bull tag you have two choices, Two! Of course you have to buy the app for it to keep adding to your points, but couldn't they have thrown out a few more choices for our 6 bucks! The two options were alkali and a teanaway late hunt, don't know about the teanaway hunt but i wouldn't put my 15 points on the alkali hunt. I spent 59 extra dollars this year just on the special permit apps!! :bdid:
My old man and I drew the late muzzy teanaway hunt a few years back. We hunted our tails off and both ended up with empty tags. We did pass up on some cows as we were holding out for a decent bull but we fought the weather the whole time. The first two days of the hunt were in the 50's and from there on out it got really really cold and snowed like mad. One day it was actually -14 when we got out of my truck. By the final day or two of the hunt, there was probably two feet of snow on the ground where we had wanted to hunt and it limited our locations. There are tons of elk in the unit and I would love to try that hunt again but from our experience there is def better choices! :dunno:

-Having only 2 choices in that pool is good! Even better if it was just 1!
I don't think you understand. You can apply for up to 4 choices in that category. But, if you have an eastside muzzleloader elk tag, they only offer two hunts on the eastside for muzzleloaders in the bull elk category. How is that a good thing?

I understand perfectly! And like I said I wish there was only one hunt in this catagory, Alkali, just one hunt to choose from, or even better and just dump this entire pool! Think about why bud!-Having only 2 choices in that pool is good! Even better if it was just 1!
