What do you think of the proposed permits (similar to last season)

I bet only 20 guys actually go and get out of their rigs in the archery entiat season and half that actually hike in

Wow  More bull tags for the margaret.

Wow  More bull tags for the margaret.

I know right?  I did hear from most of the guys I talked to with cow tags that they saw tons of bulls.

More bull tags in the blues, a general muzzy season in the blues for deer.

Looks like us bowhunters get switched back to 352 and 356 for early season archery and lose 346 where we were a couple years ago.

I can live with either but hope they stick with one for a while so my scouting year to year pays off.

boy the Archery elk season gets pushed back farther and farther away from the rut. Closes on Sept 14th in 2015. I can remember not even hunting till the 14th!!!!!

Looks like the archery gear will no longer be allowed during muzzy season.  Did I read that right?

I don't think you read that right... This was under the proposed muzzleloader season for deer.

Special Notes: Muzzleloader tag holders can only hunt during muzzleloader seasons and must hunt with muzzleloader equipment (WAC 232-12-051) or archery equipment (WAC 232-12-054).

I like that they gave us archers in the Mason unit a late deer season

[DoubleJ]

I would like them to take some of the 2nd deer modern tags and convert them to archery.  2nd deer archery is basically limited to island hunting on private property.

I noticed the omition in the firearm restriction section.  Did not catch the inclusion in the deer season.  Thanks!

Likes: getting early archery antlerless season back for the bumping and the nile; it should never have been taken away.  They had faulty data.

Dislikes:  First, losing little naches for early archery antlerless; we should have both to disperse the hunters as do other user groups. Second, the early archery elk season starting on the Tuesday after Labor day.  We will continue to fight to get the September 8th to 21st season back; no reason why we have to hunt the pre-rut in the middle of fire season when the 8th to the 21st worked just fine.  Third, season length; we need are day back to get to a full 14 days.  Fourth, lighted nocks for archery; I personally don't think they belong.  We have enough technology as it is.

Wow  More bull tags for the margaret.

I know right?  I did hear from most of the guys I talked to with cow tags that they saw tons of bulls.

I think they figure they might as well reduce the number of bulls in there before it becomes a general season hunt next year.

They did more than remove antlerless from 346 - there is no season in Little Naches at all next year.
