I'm not saying we have a great state for hunting, but poor statistics definitely keeps new hunters from exploring our opportunities. This statement cracked me up.It sounds silly, but then name a state where you can buy an OTC tag and hunt whitetail, mule deer, or blacktail over a 3-1/2 week period with a rifle with that single tag.

In MT, you get 10-12 weeks with any legal weapon for example, all for less than WA. $100 less if you buy the multi season.I'm glad to do my part to help you guys out. I understand why you hunt here, we can probably agree to hunt different states and both be happy about it.
Out of curiosity, how much do people actually care about "being able to hunt all 3 species"? Compared to just having a high quality hunt experience for one or two species, how would you stack-rank the ability to drive to the soggy thick forests of Western WA and then hunt mulies in the mountains/east side, and then drive to the border to hunt white tails? Is that a thing people actually do? If so, would you call that a critical piece of your hunting experience?
I guess all the break in’s on vehicles would make me nervous to leave ANYTHING un attended. Both of our trailers were broken into, and they went over a 5’ fence to do it! Hauled a 75 lb forklift batt over it as well! Scouting and camping is great fun. Happy for ya!
