Ok so the new reg's are on line now... Just to clarify, there are 425 modern tags, 475 archery tags, and only 90 muzzy tags. Wtf is the deal with the muzzy tags? WDFW never ceases to amaze me in the way they do things, it doesn't  make sense the way they broke the permits down, maybe i'm missing something  ?

Looks to me like there isn't really a general muzzy season in 328 or 329, just in 335.  My guess is they have more rifle and archery guys hunting general seasons in those three gmus and that is why they get the majority of the permits, but who knows why they do what they do.  They did over double the old number of permits for each user group.

I knew I was missing something and that makes perfect sense, thanks for the explanation.

It is a mathematical equation to do this, it is double and triple checked by members of the resource allocation committee.  It is all based on numbers of hunters and success rate.

Why not give the youth 50 tags and a week to themselves to hunt cow and have a opportunity to harvest there first big game animal ?

That's the best idea in the World!!!!!!  They should also make the Youth Deer tags a week to themselves too!!!!

More  youth oppurtunity to build future hunters and for the state more money great idea too bad they don't do it.

You know what pisses me off about all those permits in my back yard? It's not how many are available.  It's the fact that no permits were allocated for youth , disabled, or seniors.  WHY?

Point is, there are I believe 2 choices in E WA for youth elk permits. Give the Eastern kids some choices.

Agreed there should be more youth elk oppurtunities

[kevinlisa06]

Personally I don't think that The state of Wa really cares about the kids hunting since they don't care for hunting but that's just my opinion. Isn't there away to get hunters on the game commission and get rid of the idiots that are ruining this state for sportsman.

Game department would loose a lot of money if theyade them all youth tags.  Youth apps are half the price as adult apps
