Welcome to Washington! It does rain quite a bit but you will get used to it.  Some of the best hunting on the planet is right in your back yard.

Welcome to Washington ( in Dec )! Spokane is an awesome area!

So, after reading through most of the regulation pamphlet, I get the impression that Washington rules and seasons favor rifle hunting. Am I wrong? Please tell me I am.

Hello everyone,

I recently recieved an assignment to Fairchild AFB. I'm extremely excited about it. Me and the family are hoping to find a home, retire and grow some roots in Eastern Washington. I'm an avid bowhunter and love to hunt any and everything that could be shot with a bow. I just thought that I'd drop in and say hello..

You picked (maybe the AF did it) one hell of a place to live. Please excuse WDFW for their ridiculous regs but still a lot of great hunting to be had

I think it is a mix.  Rifle seems to have some good special permits and good blacktail seasons.  Bow and muzzy seem to have the elk--can shoot cows and early season is closer to the rut and late seasons closer to the migrations.

I only bow hunt, so I'm hoping I'll still be able to do a lot of that in Washington. The archery season seem to be short from what I've noticed. The regulations, tags, permits and land access are overwhelming.
