Over $300 bucks for hunting and fishing packages and tags and special hunt apps. Damn

Did you ever notice that at WDFW sites the sign says that Discover Pass required and in smaller print at the bottom of the sign it say "Or wdfw pass." I wonder if that was so that someday they could paint out the wdfw part and require a Discover Pass in addition to any license fee? Nah! They wouldn't do that!!!

Not even sure I will make it to the woods this year.
But I ordered the 4 tag and small game license anyway.
Saved a little bit in case I do get to go.
This state is getting expensive to have a good time in.

It was actually so they could make 1 sign for all state lands and simply add in the WDFW pass sticker to the sign for use on WDFW lands

Does the 38% include the return of the Columbia River endorsement fee. The one that Dimslee had us all grabbing our ankles for ?

Dang! I didn't realize that raffle ticket prices jumped up along with the license increase. That seems kind of lame given they are an optional fundraiser purchase and not required like a license. I'm no big spender in the raffles but do buy some every year. Hopefully those front loaded tickets I bought before the increase pay off! Might be my last chance at this rate!

And they'll keep doing it as long as people keep paying what they are asking.  Only good thing is they make it cost effective to hunt out of state.
