It might improve your odds if they narrowed it down to 1 choice instead of 4.   Basically the first 12 people of 9000 get their tags. :(

here here.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

I don't think you should be able to accrue points for those species, but make it so you don't lose the ones you got when you make the switch.

I don't know, if you aren't able to accrue points you get so far behind everyone else that your chances of getting drawn at a later date essentially disappear.  I don't think WDFW would ever be able to sell it to a majority of hunters if you weren't also able to accrue points. 

On another note, did anyone notice any significant changes in the regs?  I did a quick read through, but I don't see anything ground breakingly new this year.  (other than the fact that archery elk opens on a Monday for some stupid reason.)

It has been the 8th for sometime. I am actually glad that it opens on a monday because that means there will be less people in the woods to compete with. It all works out though, we still get two weekends to hunt for those that are weekend warriors or can't get time off during the week.

Allocating 10% of the special permit tags to non residents is a must. They should not be considered to have the same chance to draw as a resident. Others states do it.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Thats the nice thing about Idaho.....NO points. 
Thats what Utah does...infact they take it a step further an dyou have to choose if you want elk or deer.

I could not agree more.  Point systems are one of the evils of the world. 

I really like the Idaho and NM system :dunno:

I don't agree.  I like the idea of points.  Without points you don't get any closer to getting drawn the longer you apply.  I think if anything, I like Colorado's system best.  I would like to see WA draw by going half preference points (preferably - if not preference points, than at least bonus points.)  And then the other half at random.  Also limiting the number of non-resident tags, and number of premiere species you can draw for.

Here is some anectodotal evidence for you.........
No points in NM.  Put in for the most sought after unit and hunt in the state, and drew first year.
No points in Idaho for Moose.  Put in for the first year and drew.
No points in Idaho for Moose, put Dad in and he drew the first year............

Points in Montana...........No draws except for this year finally drew deer and elk with FOUR points
Points in Wyoming...........None  $$$$
Points in Nevada............None  $$$
Points in Utah...............None $$
Points in Arizona...........None $$$$
Points in Colorado.........None $
Points in Oregon...........None $
each dollar sign represents the cost to apply and to get that point.
