I believe this state had a rough quota for harlis to maintain sustainable harvest. Manage them under a season structure similar to brant. Handful of days in January would allow folks to collect a beautiful trophy while keeping harvest numbers low.
Talk is if we ever get harlis back it will be draw only.

What about residents only? Would essentially kill the guide business for them

Thanks for the input and insight as to the 'local' ethos.

If not in the Puget Sound/local. Where else? Oregon, etc? Not the end of the world if don't get a hunt in, was just something on our bucket list.

Thanks.

I would actually love to see Harley’s move to a draw. Make people buy a license to apply, pump up those PR dollars for license sales.

Hell, let’s put swans on there too.
What country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants.

No more draws or permits. We already buy 4 licenses to shoot a sea duck.

Swans will never happen in Washington. The "swan lady" has made sure of that. I went to Montana to get mine. As much as I'd like to see it happen here it never will.

Four? Guess I need to read the Regs as I was thinking about going out.
Cuterebra are NOT cute!

Small game + migratory permit + duck stamp + catch card?

Isn't there both a Federal and a State duck stamp?

Thanks.

If you're looking for next year I'd offer to take you out. I have two layaway boats that are painted up and all the decoys/rigging. We can discuss details if you'd like, typically I go out solo. I'm not claiming to be an expert, but I did get 2 white wings monday morning. Trying to close the year out with some surf's but they haven't cooperated the past week.
