Apparently all the emails made a difference on this issue.

Quote

Under Modern Firearm, Late General Season, Eastern Washington White-tailed Deer,
delete GMU 101 from the late modern season. With the change, the line should read 105-124,
any white-tailed buck. This change is in response to public input from archery hunters and
returns the late general modern firearm season in GMUs 105-124 back to status quo.

I see they also added some antlerless archery permits for Entiat and Swakane. 60 for Entiat and 75 for Swakane, Dec 1-8.

Woohoo!

well nothing like stiffer regulations and the state making it hard to hunt in quality areas, oh goody for us

Awesome!!! That saved a bunch of rutting mule deer bucks from being "mistakenly" shot.

They did add a special permit hunt though. That could be a dandy.

No late whitetail hunt in 101 for me...

Time to look else where........

I like the 50 permits for Sherman that they added...also it looks like they lengthened the East Okanogan, West Okanogan and Sinlahekin Whitetail From Nov 1-24...

A whole extra week into the rut...yehaw..

It looks like a Bait and Switch to me? I don't think they added 75 antlerless archery permits to Swakane? Last year it was 3 point minimum or antlerless? They say they will close the late archery hunt and the Archery hunters flip out so they replace the hunt with some doe hunts!!!.............................LOL

I would rather see 135 does shot than 135 small bucks out of those units.

You couldn't shoot a small buck in the Swakane? Three point minimum?

WABONEHNTR · « **Reply #18 on:** February 23, 2009, 08:16:46 PM »

If we are talking the entiat and swakane a 3pt is not nor should it be a big buck. These to units are our trophy quality units and they are not producing like they should. Closing them down would have been great but not possible with the amount of hunters in our state. I would just like to see monster bucks in there again.

danshae · « **Reply #19 on:** February 23, 2009, 10:03:13 PM »

as long as thousands of archers from all throughout the state fill this unit it will continue to diminish.I guarantee their are more deer wounded by archers than killed in this unit!since they opened it for either sex it got even worse for the mortality rate,wounded animals,and population of people.we have entirely to many people in this state to have a unit this small open that time of the year to either sex with an unregulated amount of people!shouldnt worry to much anyhow you have 101 to hunt.as archers you seen to that.

I think we all knew my opinion on this subject already

As I was reading through this thread I was thinking "sumbudy oughta call Teacherman and let him know"... I was starting to think you were out celebrating the news and would be "unavailable" until about noon tomorrow...
