I'd also like to see doing away with drawing for "permits" and shift to drawing for "tags" meaning if you draw a tag that is your season. If you draw a colockum bull tag that's all you get to hunt (can't hunt general season also). Good ideas here, not that I think WA elk hunting is really all that broken)
Well I killed my own argument, just called Wdfw to find out which side has more elk. Talked with a biologist who was nice enough to answer a pile of questions I had. I was right about the population St. Helens and willapa hills alone have more elk then all of eastern Washington that's not counting rainier, Olympic peninsula, or the nooksack.Found out true spike in the clockum is because with the spike only rules no bull elk were living to maturity with spike only.Mature bulls shorten the rut so the cows drop calves closer together . 3pt min is out for the east side . Still like the rest of the plan.
we should go permit only so our tribal brothers will have move trophy bulls to harvest !

So if you draw a special permit you're out of the general hunt? I could get behind that one.
So you could hunt any GMU in the region?
permit only for any bull elk in your region of choice weapon of your choice
