I like how they posted the concerns of people and their responses to it. I did notice that my response to them was not there but I am sure they got alot.

SWEET!  They brought back the Swakane later archery, but the season now runs from nov 21-30 and is 3 point minimum... No more shooting of does and they shortened the season a couple days from December 5th if I remember right.  Smart move on their point imho.  (Remeber I know some of you disagree, and we've had that discussion many times on here.  Please don't try to start arguments...)

They also brought Down the modern firearm special permits in Entiat A from 52 to 30, Swakane A from 38 to 20, and Mission A from 22 to 10.  Another great decision from what I can see...

They've also taken out the Sherman unit from the late special permit hunt.  I don't know anything about that, but figured some here would like it mentioned.

Entiat C (ARCHERY) permits are raised from 17 to 55.  And the Dates are from nov 21-30.

there's some other changes in there as well, but I felt these topics were highlighted on here...

There has been no permit only for the Colockum, no season shutting down, only the True Spike Rule has been implemented and still remains.  We'll see what the season brings....

Looks like they finally are letting archers carry a pistol for protection if they have a cwp.

I don't think you need a concealed weapons permit to carry a handgun while hunting. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

[Armadillo]

only if its concealed right?

Anyone know the reason why you need to have CWP to carry during archery? What is the reasoning behind that? I am all for being able to carry during any season, but don't see why you have to have a CWP?

Looks like they got rid of the Chiliwist late buck tag. I guess I need a new unit to put in for.
