I see the point that you are trying to make, but I hate that my chances at getting drawn for the doe hunts would drop heavily. Right now, I'm going on the doe hunt every other year (and sometimes consecutive years).
It will stop being a doe hunt and turn into a scouting trip. At least now most of the people going on the doe hunt are actually trying to kill deer.
That being said, I agree that it's pretty rough for the folks that hold out for the buck hunt for a pretty ridiculous length of time. That's the main reason that I don't apply.
What you propose also means that the odds of being drawn for the PI buck hunt will drop heavily from there on out, because there will be no true sacrifice for waiting on the draw - there would be no reason NOT to do it.

I like it the way it is. Some people are willing to sacrifice and some aren't. The chances of getting drawn for the buck hunt would then go way up bc no one would have to give anything up so more people would put in.

I wish PI was its own Quota hunt and applying for it, did not count me out of other hunts around the state, but it does. Every year I put in for PI just to accumulate points.
