Congrats on the pic Bone. Glad to see someone's hard work put to good use. I'm still not understanding why they completely F'd up cougar hunting.

How about ONE Goat permit for Naches Pass!?!?!? BS 

2009 Mountain Goat Season Changes:
The Department recently completed a mountain goat research project throughout the Cascade Mountain range. We now have a better understanding about the
size and location of mountain goat populations, intermixing between sub-populations, and sustainable harvest levels for each. We are now applying that new
information to our mountain goat harvest strategies by managing hunted mountain goat populations as a collection of smaller sub-populations, where nanny groups
may be fairly distinct, but billies have a greater potential to intermix. Ideally, harvest will be well distributed throughout a population, so no sub-populations are over
harvested. As a precautionary step, the Director may open or close specific sub-populations, or reduce permit levels slightly, to protect from over harvest. Also,
selected hunters will now receive a map of their hunt area boundary with their permit.

Congrats Bone.

THANKS everyone!   Haven't even had a chance to see them.  I got the notification last night that I got it.  I was hoping for one of my muledeer shots, but I guess they liked that one better.  I'm pretty STOKED.

[rasbo]

did anyone else notice they raised the grouse limit by one and they are gonna start limiting shot size for turkeys starting in the fall? just thought that was kinda odd.
