Hunting guides do not need to be licensed or registered, right? Why not just pay your friend a buck to be your "guide?"
I'm not worried, I'm mad! Mad that someone at the WDFW would provide a wrong answer on something that's just common sense. I'm pretty sure no game warden would say calling elk is illegal.
What kind of license does a guide need?
Here is the Email...Im not liking this at all and all of us need to change this...Dear Mr. Maybee, Thank you for contacting the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife. Your friend is correct. If you are only watching or guiding, you do not need a hunting license. However, if you are directly assisting and participating (such as driving game or packing hunting weapons), you will need the appropriate hunting license. Calling elk for a friend is directly assisting and participating in the hunt. In this case, both would need the appropriate elk license and tag. Best regards, Wildlife Program Customer Service(360) 902-2515 Two things come to mind. If you have a partner that submits and draws the same permit. You call and he tags out..He now cant help you?? No returning the favor because legally he doesnt hold a permit any longer. BS. Another is better start applying with a partner because you wont legally be able to have help.

The only thing you need is a business license, and if your smart you'll be bonded and insured.
