Not counting points for turning in poachers, what is the max points this year? Didn't they start the points program in 96 or 97? If so, max points would be 15 or 16 going into this year, Correct?
Yeah, it was '96. The most points you could have in the draw this year is 17.
The 16 you've accumulated and the 1 you gain when you submit this year's application.

I never get to excited, 15 points for quality bull, bull, quality deer, goat, moose, antlerless moose, and sheep and I have never drawn a thing. That's 15 years of not drawing a thing. Good thing I am going to Colorado in October.
That's rough. This is your year for something. I would bet money that you draw a quality deer or a bull tag. What are you putting in for, MF Desert?

Post by: trophyhunt on May 19, 2012, 06:54:16 PM
I know of a guy with 36 points and couldnt draw a tag in the blues ...... :dunno::yeah:I also saw that a guy had 24 points and didn't draw in a unit that had 4 tags, a guy with 1 point drew one of those tags. I have 17 points and have been trying for a blue's tag for many years.... I'm not expecting to draw chit again. If you look at the wdfw web site on harvest reports and find where they show how many guys applied with how many points and really study it, it's get pretty depressing when you have a lot of points. Don't get your hopes up just because you have a few points, like someone said already on this post- if you have 5 to7 points you should be excited. I think the quality tags should be for guys with 8 or more points. :twocents:
Post by: SI Eagle on May 20, 2012, 07:43:50 AM
I do put in for the better elk and deer tags and I actually drew the Multiseason Elk tag (after 5 years) so that allowed me to put in for some eastern washington elk tags that I probably won't draw. Believe me, it is not patience it is a money thing at this point. I think I have spent so much money over the years that I have to keep putting in. I think if I ever draw one for a certain species I will check that one off and never put in again. Cheaper in the long haul to go deer hunting in Idaho then it is to continue to put in for permits here.I never get to excited, 15 points for quality bull, bull, quality deer, goat, moose, antlerless moose, and sheep and I have never drawn a thing. That's 15 years of not drawing a thing. Good thing I am going to Colorado in October.

I'm at 14 points and put in for the blues. My dad and uncle both have 17 points. They put in together for blues as well. No need to tell you guys which spots we put in for!It wasn't the muzzy hunts I hope??? Not that I need to worry about guys with that many points, it's the guys with 4 up to 8 that worry me.

I myself have subsided to the fact that I have crappy luck and wont draw. It doesn't matter how many points I have. I will still not be selected.
it's not that you have bad luck... it's that the WDFW hates you! :chuckle: they never actually put your name in the hat! :yike:

Never dawned on me that I pissed them off with the nasty email I sent them a few years back. I better bake some brownies and drop them off at the Olympia office.

Spending some time hunting for poachers may not be a bad idea. 10 points could go a long ways. And it would get a guy in the woods more often.
I know its the right thing to do but honestly I don't think I will ever get wrapped up in that kind of fiasco ever again... Long story but basically caught guys red handed on private property with a cow elk in a 3pt only unit. Wasted almost a whole day dealing with WSP while trying to keep a close eye on the poachers. Long story short, don't expect squat for points from F&G unless the original suspect is CONVICTED of the crime. We all know how BS the court systems are these days. Just sayin. Not my first time reporting either. Another time witnessed a guy shoot a deer on Federal land with a long gun.... Turned out to be a WSP AND a big shot with Ducks Unlimited... Lets just say those guys take care of their own :bash:
