Fair shake? We have the shortest of seasons seeing as we are only allowed archery. There is barely anything beautiful about timberland strewn with logging roads. A permit for access can cost 200 dollars after the 100 dollar combo elk and deer. Kind of makes Idaho and Oregon a bargain at 500 and a better hunt. The only thing making WA good before was the access and the fact that once you're on elk you pretty much stay on elk. While I was in NC recently 6 either sex deer tags, 3 turkey, 2 boar, one bear, all birds, and all fishing/shellfish added up to 65 dollars for multisession. What is going on here!?
