Post by: kramman on June 20, 2010, 04:00:20 AM: man I hear ya loud and clear 8yrs no tags for me.I hate this state{hunting].I didnt put in for montana deer this year I thought with the changes this might finally be my year,boy was I wrong.Ive been getting drawn for Mont. every 2-3yrs.I wouldnt even put in for this state if i did not already have so many points built up.It sucks hearing of people drawing good tags in this state every couple of years while others like us seem to never draw.It really has me bumfu$%ing out.

Post by: Buschingc on June 21, 2010, 03:27:06 AM: God.. I hope it doesnt take 14 years or more.. I've been waiting 7 years and I still havent been drawn for anything.. Not even a damn cow tag.. I could only imagine what you folks are going through.. They should really consider a new drawing system..

Post by: cem3434 on June 21, 2010, 05:36:21 PM: I waited 9 years, but now I put in on party hunts and we drew bull permits, cow permits, buck permits and 2nd deer tags all this year. The biggest problem is all the seasons overlap, so I have some choices to make. I am not a fan of the system for this reason, but I guess having to many permits is a good problem right now.

Post by: Whitenuckles on June 21, 2010, 06:02:02 PM: After 9 years of this BS, I dont know what to think. Over and over again it reassures me that this state only wants your money! I know people that draw a buck or bull tags year after year, how is this possible. I just dont understand how this is fair?

Post by: Alan K on June 21, 2010, 06:40:42 PM: I've got 11 points for the OIL's and Elk's, and 6 for the deer aside from 2nd deer which I drew this year. I still like the draw system, I like to know that when I drop back down to 0 points I'll still have a chance. :twocents:

Post by: Pathfinder101 on June 23, 2010, 12:20:00 AM: I am glad I did put in for MT. At least I have something to look forward to... mule deer and (maybe) speedgoats....
Title: Re: Well now i have 10 pts for deer and elk.
Post by: NRA4LIFE on June 23, 2010, 09:19:08 AM: Nothing more for me to add. I still have never drawn a tag in this state for ANYTHING. Not even a lousy cow tag. At least I drew Montana deer. My buddy drew Peaches Ridge bull so at least one of us got something.

Post by: MuleySniper on June 23, 2010, 12:25:07 PM: Let me guess. One of the 500 guys with ten points that put in for the desert with the remaining 8000 people?
I really don't think points matter anymore for any guarantee. I think they give you an edge and more hope but bottom line is WA state is packed with people and hunters making odds slim no matter what. I think luck is a huge roll. I was lucky pulling Entiat modern with 8 points. I look at the odds and still I am amazed I drew it even with that many points. I'm topped out on the oil points or maybe one behind, I know what you mean though, I get my hopes up every year for one of them but statistically, with the remaining numbers of guys with max points, I still have better chances at Lotto. By the way, this is the first tag Ive drawn in 8 years for any species in this state.

Post by: Vees on June 23, 2010, 11:55:35 PM: I agree with MuleySniper, just too many people in this state! Not sure how much a different draw system would help....won't reduce the number of people applying.

It is just luck of the draw, other than OIL tags, I have been drawn 9 times in 14 years, since they started the point system, 0 out of 15 before points.....

Post by: BillyG on June 24, 2010, 08:59:39 AM: If I follow the States intentions, The most points you could have on the books next season is 5Pt's. Notice at the top of your special draw page on line it states all points used before 2006 will be zero? Then look it the right side of the page, "points used". I believe that means they only plan on giving us credit from 2006 to date? Has anyone hear different? :dunno: :bash:

Post by: WDFW-SUX on June 24, 2010, 09:04:02 AM: Thats not correct. there not doing anything to the points.

Post by: boneaddict on June 24, 2010, 09:06:43 AM: They aren't touching the points.
Title: Re: Well now i have 10 pts for deer and elk.
Post by: boneaddict on June 24, 2010, 09:08:48 AM: ONE CHOICE. That will help the draw system. It will cut back on many of these guys drawing that don't have EVEN HAVE A CLUE where they put in.

Since our points started mounting, that is what we have done for a while now OIL and elk,

Post by: WDFW-SUX on June 24, 2010, 09:15:10 AM: They need to go to OIL or deer elk and only one choice. If they need the money then raise the price of an app.
