IMO a 5 year waiting period for deer and elk is a bit excessive. Does the waiting period accomplish what it is designed to do?
From the guide book.
"Waiting periods keep successful applicants out of the drawing for a few years and give other hunters a better chance at drawing a permit."
They should change the wording of that definition from "a few years" to "many years", 5 is more than a few.
From the guide book.
"If you obtain a CWMU, conservation, expo or landowner permit from a private individual or organization—for deer, elk or pronghorn—you won’t be subject to a waiting period."
Why does money or good expo luck exempt you from the waiting period if it was designed to give other hunters a better chance at drawing a permit?
I drew a LE Deer permit this year at 47 years old. I got into the point game a little late and didn't start applying until my early 30's. This is the only LE permit I've ever drawn. The reality of not being able to apply for 5 years along with the number of points it requires, or will require to draw another LE Deer tag puts me in my 70's.![Crying :cry: :cry:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
