| Permit only Elk hunting in WA |

I guess I am comparing it to what I am used to. MT, MO, and ND. Archery season are longer there. Archery success is lower for elk because it is archery, you can't smack things down at 500 yards. The success rate for MT archery is 20% or so, hence the extended season. I don't know what it is here. Not interested in photography, silly. :) |

I voted for "permit only, then I'd get serious". I don't like the idea of having to wear running shoes so I can get my tag on the Elk I shot first. I only buy an elk tag so I can put in for permits now anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a change for me. |

I am for permit only for general elk hunting, and possibly keep those general elk tags spike only. THen also have the draw we currently have for branched antler. I don't even chase spikes anymore, just buy the tag for points and hopefully get drawn for multi so I can fill the frezzer with a cow in the late archery hunt. I think that everyone elk hunt would overall be improved if you were able to take half the people out of each unit, their are so many damn people and most aren't even hunting hard, I know their are areas to get away from people but if your were to decrease the total number of hunters it would make the overall experience that much better. Just my opinion. WACAT |

I like it the way it is with drawing for a branched antler tag, but the only complaint I have is they need to open more units for archery, rifle has all the GMU's open so should muzzleloader and archery. |

shutting it down is not good conservation. Hunting is conservation. Limit tags with a focus on a better cow to bull ratio. |
