Soo to sort this out as I was a bit confused as well... BUT did my homework soo this is what I found out?
2 beardless (means HENS or young birds undeveloped), then (2) Cocks, a bearded Turkey which can be a young boy or and olde' Cock with a hanging feathered Beard off it's neck base. Soo thge bottum line is {4} bird per tag from Sept. to Dec. 31st. WOW WE did not have this oppotunity back then...

Back when? I shot my first turkey in this state when the annual harvest was about 100 birds...now it is about 5000.
It is 2 beardless and 2 of either sex fir the fall season in 101-154 and 162-186 GMU's.  Male turkey's are called toms :chuckle:

Just to be clear you need a tag for each bird. It’s not 4birds per tag. You can harvest a total of 7 turkeys a year in Washington, although very difficult, and you would require 7 tags to do so.
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

If you are not willing to die for freedom then take the word out of your vocabulary.

Also if you did not fill your spring tag it is still good for the fall.

So it would cost you about $140 in tags to shoot all them turkeys? Cheaper to buy butterballs.

I realize that. But 20 a tag for turkey? Make it a little more affordable and a lot more people would buy multiple tags.

I keep my fingers crossed they'll develop a bundle one day with a wad of tags at a discount rate. I'm sure it will happen right after they establish a wolf hunting season.

I think my buddy pays $6.50 in MT, but then again there is so much more opportunity here I see why we have to pay more.   :dunno:
