Not applying for anything this year and not buying big game tags in WA. For the money saved just from my application, I can go on a WY antelope hunt. It's a combination of sending a message and making the best use of my limited hunting budget.It's a real bummer, I applied for absolutely everything for myself and my family, but I between the poor management, lack of science based decisions, willingness to throw hunters and fishermen under the bus and huge reduction of tags and finally seeing the dismal odds, I can't justify it anymore.Best of luck to those that apply, hope you draw and shoot a monster.

They need to be getting lots of letters like that. I sent one last night.
