Already bought all my tags for this year, better buy early before the 15% increase goes into effect...

When is that?

Or buy in another state.  I'm not sending WDFW my hunting money this year, if a bunch of people did the same they might understand the message.

Glad to see the Olympic tags gone... IMO it was stupid to have those as a separate category. I hope WDFW can move 50-100 more goats this year.

Sad to see the decline of the Yakima Elk herd. permits are down 70% in 2 years?

July 1, 2019 at the earliest, if approved by the legislature.

Permits need cut.  Cut drastically.   That would be sound wildlife management.   The increase is what is hard to swallow.    When the product doesnt match the price, you have to do what you do in the store.

Patiently waiting for Montana to open up the sale of their licenses for deer and elk.

You know as well as I do that this isn't going to happen. There could be many different GMU with absolutely no animals in them yet they would still try to sell special permits for it. $$$$$$$

[Colville]

Actually, they can probably increase tags.  The animal count will get so low in places that adding hunters wont' increase the number we take, so as it get's worse we can have more opportunity.

I think it's great .Some of those permits should of never been given out in the first place.Some should be eliminated all together.But it's a start .In northeast washington between wolves and doe permits there is nothing left .

[Mr Mykiss]

They should give doe/cow tags predominantly to the youth/disabled/seniors...or not give em at all.

I think the latter part is the right choice.
