Thanks for the alert!

Really hard to get excited anymore about draws....

So politically correct they can't even put a harvest picture on the cover...

"Here is what hunting in Washington looks like now, just go volunteer to fix fence on a ranch with no deer"

Just what I was thinking, odd cover.  But, I kinda think it's cool.

If they were going to highlight a RMEF project on the cover they could have at least had him where a hat with their logo on it.

No more Manson Sheep

[Ridgerunner]

Don't look at what the goat odds are going to be......plus loss of a few sheep tags, slim pickings for OIL this year.

I see the cougar caps suck.
Few areas probably won't even open.
Added a few more GMU for the bear test.
i can't tell for sure ,moose permits look different to me.

Bios state the Yakima elk herd is exceeding abundance objectives and meeting bull:cow ratios so of course they reduce Quality archery tags yet again, why wouldn't they? 

[str8meat]

How in gods green earth do they think the goose prairie archery hunting gmu can only handle 2 archery bulls to be taken. Do the bios even do anything or are they still blaming covid? I do believe they have caught the stupid.

They don’t think it can handle 2 bulls being taken by archers. Typically archery is calculated at about a 50% success rate so if they take 2 this year there probably won’t be a season next year…
