Me too.  Readying my little tag parade for the WDFW Monkey...

I'm in, and my oldest daughter. It's interesting to look back a couple years and see the number of applications we submitted compared to this year. In 2021, it was 24 applications, 2022 was 16 applications. This year only 6. That's 4 for me and 2 for my daughter.

$585 later, my son and I are all submitted. Hurts the pocket book alot more when ya draw a multi season elk tag and your kiddo is no longer youth...

[Farmer72]

I am finally in. As usual I don't expect to draw but since I put in for Oregon with a good chance to draw there, I could draw here also. Might be a hard sell with the boss to take off 5 or more weeks from work if I do.

I think you used up your WA luck in 2021

That is a very valid statement.

Those multi season tags are definitely a hit to the pocketbook but not as bad as multi state hunting.

Hunting archery deer and pheasants in Washington, deer in Idaho again, killed a real nice whitetail last year in Idaho and going back, hopefully get a chance at another wall hanger, one of the best hunts I’ve been on. Permit applications submitted, not gonna hold my breath but fingers crossed. I did buy an elk tag again because of putting in for permits, haven’t actually went elk hunting in years, quit going after the elk populations went down and stopped seeing them like we used too. I just buy one for special permits. Going in this year with 11 points quality elk, 10 for any ram, 15 for any antlered moose and 13 for goat.

9 apps bought, 7 submitted, 2 points only. Strangely less optimistic this year than any time before. I am expecting an OTC weekend warrior type of season. Good luck all! Let the waiting commence!

I need a selected in my life right now.
I got @$!# going on in my life right now.
I could sure some luck . That's all I know.
I'm not gonna count on though ,be the biggest let down if I did.

[finnman]

Never done it so I can’t speak to it for real, but drawing a special permit must be like a hit of crack! Last time I drew a great tag I was on cloud nine! Lol! You love that feeling, and then afterward you miss it so bad you need it back! But alas, in WA it could take decades to draw another special Permit!
Between WA and OR, my wife and I have like 32 permits submitted! I want that feeling back but now I have fallen so far down….I don’t dare think that way! I don’t want that big let down again! Lol!
