Hunting Washington Forum

One good thing about this new system is, the guy who got in the front of the line and bought licenses and tags for 10 different friends and family members will not have an advantage now. In fact the more friends and family who apply, will lower the chances of that guy will draw. Poetic justice.  The odds of drawing a tag will be way better for those who have been stuck at the back of a 60,000 person line while a few tag hogs scoop everything up. No more getting in the front of the line and getting the tags you want. Now you may not even get a tag let alone the primo tags. And a lot certainly won't get drawn for both deer and elk.

The ONLY way your odds will get better will be if it's not a highly desired unit. Those boys grabbing the panhandle tags for decades aren't gonna put in for anything else IMO. I know the ones here aren't

Pretty sure we had rez folks in a silver truck with white canopy rifle hunting a special draw unit for archery.  The least they could do is wait till the bow hunters are out of there.   

I saw an indian family with a 150+ whitetail AND a MONSTER muley in back of a truck. Two days, 2 rifle kills for them while I carried my bow around lol

another first timer here, Swordtine is in !

Most weyco permit areas have a sxs permit option as well.

I've been looking into that for next year to have better blackie hunting if I don't tag out for mule deer... I had really good places in Mason but moved to Puyallup and the areas I've found in 654, 667, 510 seem to have really low deer numbers... No consistency in seeing deer, or elk, in these areas... Not even on the cams... According to the WDFW that would be correct...   

Very nice!!
