Well said Billy. Except a few of the MH hunts you will lose your points but those. Like the any elk or 3 point or better hunts where a hunter has the chance of taking a bull.

I would still like to know why the M H gets, to hunt the pumas plains and others don't?
The "Elk area 5063 - Pumice Plain" is entirely within the boundary of the National Volcanic Monument managed by Gifford Pinchot National Forest. So any access issue concerning permission to enter the land is determined by the forest service.Elk in this state are considered to be property of the state whether the elk is on public or private property. Also, hunting in Washington is considered a privilege, not a right. The privilege to hunt is regulated by the WDFW and tribal agencies with treaty rights as an exception to state regulations.The entire Elk area 5063 - Pumice Plain is between the tourist viewpoint at Johnston Ridge and the volcano. What I recall about this area is that the plain is in full public view. So the situation here is that we have a hunt happening at one of the states top tourist destinations... an elk being loaded up for the ride home in the same parking lot. Whether having a MH certification or not, good idea to promote a positive image of hunting when you hunt in a theatre like this.
I didn't realize that enrolling in the MH program automatically proves your ethics and makes you a higher caliber individual than myself.
