So few permits is taking its toll  :twocents:

I would say so many categories is taking its toll.

The ability to apply for too many categories is the problem if you ask me.

Well, yeah!

That combined with lower numbers adds up to really bad odds for draws that used to be somewhat reasonable.

Would love to see 1 app per species, 4 choices. Old days I would do a quality 1 and 2 then anterless/buck/bull type 3 and 4.

There is an open comment period up for suggestions for next hunting cycle regs. Make that comment known or any suggestions for draws.

It would be nice if they added some more hunts for the categories. Bull elk has 2 choices for archery. Pretty ridiculous.

Congrats, Tbar. That’s a great tag.
Thanks! We're excited, it's going to be so cool with a tag in hand.  Hopefully we'll get to soak it in and get a little weather.

This is the attitude more should have.   :tup: :tup: :tup:  My hunting buddy and I are super excited to set up the wall tent for 12-14 days and hunt elk with my son.  He is the one that drew the youth tag and it will be his first elk (assuming we find one) and we are just super happy to spend that time in the woods (and wall tent) on a fun hunt.  Trophy is all in the eye of the beholder....and I'm sure my son will be on cloud nine if he is afforded the opportunity to drop the hammer a big fat cow. 

You guys sound like you will have a great hunt.  Good friends spending time in the woods is priceless.

Bethel archery bull tag and a late archery cow tag for me, Ritzville rifle tag for the wife, and a Beezley youth any deer tag for my son. Slightly disappointed that my 20 quality deer points got me nothing but super pumped with what we did get!

I didn’t get drawn for anything in Washington but, I did get a Montana antlerless B tag. Maybe I’ll get a anterless Antelope too.

Pearrygin for me and one of my closest friends.  Looking forward to a quality time more than antler size.  Very excited and blessed to have the opportunity.

Awesome! Should provide some unique opportunities and lots of quality time!
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

 4 family members in all categories with loads of points in each and didn’t draw a one…don’t think you are alone!
