Not sure what that program was called or if it still is in place or what you have to do to qualify to get the one year exemption. But if you can do that you could apply for multi season now then get your hunter ed done later this year.Sounds fishy.. anyone?It's legit.I've done it with 2 kids in the past. I sign as their leader or mentor or escort or whatever they call it. I had to stay within X distance of them and they could get hunting license and hunt. The 1st kid I went with, his dad was in Iraq and couldn't get him into hunters ed in time. He came home from overseas in September and I had the kid all dialed in and ready to hunt come October. I just had to be with him at all times. Whoever is the leader has to have had a hunting license for the last 3 consecutive years. His dad didn't buy a license the year he was in Iraq so I did it for them.

I'm not sure you really need to worry about deer and elk points for this year. You're only going to be archery hunting anyway, so drawing a permit isn't critical, unless you want to hunt bull elk on the east side. But it sounds like you'll be staying close to home. You'll be fine with just the general season hunts. Not that you don't want to start building some points. But I wouldn't go too much out of your way to try to do so.
Interesting, Ive never heard of this, but then again it would have to be a fellow bowhunter as I cant play with guns anymore. Ill have to look into it alittle. Anyone know the specific name or RCW in relation?
A hunter with the deferral option is not eligible to apply for special permits.

But how does that affect completing the second part of hunter's ed. Don't they gather a bunch of people up at a gun range and make you shoot?

You are not required to shoot a firearm to pass hunter education.

It's policy. If an instructor incorrectly requires firearm handling or shooting, I would suggest contacting WDFW in Olympia.
