I’m sure they’ll just raise tag prices again to make up for lost license sales

Just curious if there are any folks on here that had one of the early moose tags and from the beginning when Washington started the permit drawing and their stories.
I was fortunate to draw one in 1993. I was 25 years old. In those days you had send in $150.00 with a return refund if not drawn. (Still wish it was that way)
I remember saving aluminum cans to afford the entry fee. Ha!
I drew the Mt Spokane unit. It sure has changed since I drew that tag. I enjoy reading the OIL stories.
My dad was with me (since passed) I had my bull located from scouting and was done at 7:00am opening morning.

Post Pictures!   :tup:

I will try. All I have is hard copies. I have a video of the hunt my dad took. The old VHS that sat on top of his shoulder. How times have changed.
Regardless it’s a joy to read the OIL tag stories. Would love to hear the story of the first moose tag notched in Washington.
I have a lot of photos like that from the 80s and 90s.  I take a picture of them with my cell phone if I want to post one.  Usually takes me two or three tries to get one without glare on it.   :chuckle:

Strange, they would cut non res tags. Their system is built off the backs of non res hunters, according to Randy Newburg.

If overcrowding is the issue, why don't they do like Washington does: make resident hunters choose between weapon type, gun, bow or muzzleloader, THEN come back and charge residents more money to hunt all three methods.

Instead of making residents choose to hunt either the west or east side of the state, they can make they also  make them choose north and south too. Sounds like an eerily familiar method to disperse hunters in an attempt to avoid overcrowding, yet it is also a money maker!

Most residents always blame nonresidents for the issues whether it be low animal numbers, trespassing, trash, off roading, poaching. I see residents saying they are willing to pay higher tag costs just to eliminate nonresidents. Why is it so hard for game departments to cut antlerless tags (both res and nonres) when the declines start to happen? Or a number of other issues that seem easily resolved with common sense tactics? It's hard to feel sorry for the economic loss when it turns into this.

 I’d hit a lake and make sure everything is in good working order before I hit the Cowlitz, or any other river for that matter! :twocents:

Hearing the economic loss just for the fish and game dept is 1.7 million, not counting the economic loss to rural areas, and the outfitters.

 It’s going to be much higher than that!

 The economic loss is going to huge!

Myself and about 30 other people where I work would shut down the offices for a few minutes and get 10 computers per person going  :chuckle:

Wow, what a joke for everyone else who wasn't gaming the system. Maybe the 'normal Joe' NRs will get a fair shot at a tag for once.  I know of locals who piled on the NR tags here every year for out-of-state friends as well, time to play fair.
