Below is for javelina: Legal Methods of Take General Hunt and Youth-Only Hunt: Any firearm, pre-charged pneumatic weapon, crossbow or bow and arrow as prescribed in R12-4-304. HAM: Handguns, muzzleloading rifles, muzzleloading handguns, crossbow, or bow and arrow as prescribed in R12-4-318. Archery-Only Hunt: Bow and arrow as prescribed in R12-4-304 and R12-4-318, and crossbow as prescribed in R12-4-216. Yes true , I was trying say it would be cool if we could use a spear on a pig hunt , I am aware of what weapons we can use and when on each hunt and species. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've wanted to do javelina with a spear for a long time. In this day and age, they'll never go for it though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nateNAU Report post Posted July 27, 2020 How about combining species points and letting you use as many or as few per species as you want? If you wanted to hunt early rifle elk this year you could combine your elk points with your 15 goat points, 20 sheep points 9 deer points 5 javi points and 5 turkey points. It would generate more g and f revenue because people would buy points for every species and would also knock loose a bunch of points across all species.

firstcoueswas80 Report post Posted July 27, 2020 You can get 2 turkey points per year Guy decides to heck with turkey, puts his 18 turkey points in with his muke deer points, all of a sudden he jumps the line to hunt the strip. Say someone for some reason has 8 or what have you javelina points, combined those with a dozen elk points, now he's in the max point pool for the majority of elk hunts.

But that wouldn't put him in the max pool. The guy who sacrifices 15 antelope points 20 sheep points and 20 buffalo points might be max and all of a sudden you have 55 points along with his elk points out of the system. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What if any, are the good ideas? good ideas are some of yours and some others. like cc back up, keyboard redunacy etc etc bad ideas are anything that change the way the points work, f'n with the points, modify the points or add to the points. those are all selfish ideas. The fairest system ever was one with no Bonus points, when G&F started giving bonus points it opened the doors for playing the system. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Flatlander Report post Posted July 28, 2020 Now that I think of it, there is one change that actually would increase draw odds. Make people choose to apply for a single once in a lifetime hunt (either rocky or desert or buffalo) Or apply for anything else. No bonus points for OIL. Thats why ID has the best sheep and moose odds in the country. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
idgaf Report post Posted July 28, 2020 Here's another bad idea. Make the bison hunt one male and one female per lifetime. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
