Hunting Washington Forum

The first moose permits were issued in Washington in 1977 in which 3 tags were issued in the Selkirk unit. That's been nearly 50 years ago now.

Wow, I was way off.

We have a small Shiras moose rack that my late grandpa killed sometime while my dad was in Vietnam. He never remembers hearin the story, or at least everything he had going on during the war pushed it out of his mind if he did, and my aunt who is the only one young enough to still be home remembers them going on a deer hunting trip that she thought was in eastern Washington
and coming back with lots of animals, including the moose. We always assume somehow he had got a Washington moose tag, but maybe they went up into Canada?

The whitetail rut in part of the blues seems to just being getting going last week when I was hunting. Still a lot of does with fawns and silo does with no bucks or bucks chasing them. Seemed really odd.

Yeah, I’m just looking for something that is gonna be able to survive the thick of it but still get good quality pictures in the rain as we all know it dumps over there

Welders, framers, mechanics and other folks with skills all get paid by people to do work outside of their regular weekly schedule and nobody throws a fit. Whats the difference besides wearing a badge?

The wardens are in state owned vehicles not their personal vehicle so that's a problem when doing their side work.

And a lot of times that is figured into the dollar amount being paid by the company hiring them. Meaning the fish and game officer could be receiving a set amount or his/her overtime rate, so let’s just say they’re making $90 an hour to patrol the properties. Then the state tacks on another say $35 an hour for the benefits portion, which can include the wear and tear on the vehicles. Obviously WDFW overtime would take precedence over this off duty work, but I’m going to assume with all our budget issues in the state, OT may be a little tight.
