Points keep track of calendar years nothing more.
Well, then you've shifted gears onto a different discussion then. The discussion I've been having isn't based on longevity, it's based solely on the number of points one has. You could have two 70 year olds, one with 30 points and one with 2 points. And throw in a 12 year old with 0, a 15 year old with 3, and a 25 year old with 14 points. Longevity has nothing to do with their ability to get a tag.
And yet you'll still find people complaining about that.
Ok how were those points acquired?
Ya, go out and try to put an offer in on that multimillion dollar house. You won't even make it through the front door to even look at the house without a pre-approval. But you're right........it is a little different. You can still "apply" for that 30 point unit even if you don't have what it takes to actually get it. LOL.
The only people complaining are the entitled old guys that used to be able to play it every Friday before it got popular.
Premium Deer Hunt Tags•Ninety percent (90%) of the individual zone or hunt tag quota shall be awarded using a Preference Point this is from Big Game Digest. It should be 50-50 just to be fair, but you wont hear too much about fairness coming from those with max points.
Why not remove points and get rid of the issue all together?
But there is not a law that says I cant get that house. If they want to accept my 100,000 offer on a multi million dollar house, I can get it. There is not an artificial system that says I cant. Nobody is telling me I don't deserve that house because I don't have what they have. There is not a system that equal distributes capital each year to anyone that can make an offer on a house.
Ya, and those that can't afford to play it.......why? Because they don't have enough capital....LOL.
And there's no law saying that you can't get that tag........landowner tags are available........if you have the CAPITAL.
No one is saying there aren’t opportunities, most of everyone on here is saying the system does not work for the current amount of applicants and tags. The system may have worked flawlessly 20 years ago but not today. Is that really hard to understand?
Points and capital are not the same thing. You can build capital daily and it doesn’t matter your age or how long you’ve been in the game, you can’t do that with points. You can only get one per year, stop trying to compare something that is vastly different.
Ya, that's definitely an option. But there are also options within that as well. They could go to all lottery, they could get rid of all OTC tags which restricts even more people, or they could even sell the tags to whomever puts in the highest offer just like homes. But no matter what they do, there is a 100% chance that those that complain will still complain.
Homes are privately owned, but who owns the animals that are hunted? People always complain about things, however, there is less to complain about if everyone is presented with the same opportunity.
You can golf 18 holes at Torrey Pines for $28... if you can't afford that you can't afford to golf. Just like how some people can't afford the $7 application fee in Colorado but that sort of capital is drastically different than preference points. Trying to compare the two is silly.
