nvmuley,
I could be wrong but when I talked to the commissioner a couple weeks ago it sounded like the commission wasn't going to be making any decisions about what type of bonus point system any time soon. The commission met last week to go over the big game seasons for this fall.
chasemike,
I could be wrong but doubt it. As far as I know there will be no bonus points awarded to this years unsuccessful applicants.
Deerlove,
I also have some mixed feelings about a bonus point system but still feel strongly that a bonus point system isn't in my best interest. I've put in for deer, elk and antelope for the last eight years without drawing a tag (besides X tags).
Bonus point systems encourage more people to apply every year which will decrease my chance of drawing a tag. Those that faithfully apply every year are going to have better odds of drawing without a bonus point system. If I couldn't buy an over the counter tag for deer and elk, I would be all for a bonus point system.
