I wonder how many hunters (if any) have killed all the legal big game animals in Washington: deer: whitetail, mule, blacktail; elk: Rocky Mountain and Roosevelt; bighorn sheep, mountain goat, moose, and black bear.

I am short the goat which isn’t going to happen since I can’t climb a goat mountain anymore. With 27 points I am not applying this year for the first time in that many years. Everybody elses chances just went up for the 7 tags I guess.


Please keep applying, there will be someone that will help get you in there with horses or something. I’m sure with a tag like that plenty of random strangers would be willing to help out.
Thanks for the encouragement BB. I will give it one more shot. Sorry Blanchard.

My son drew the youth antler less tag twice. When he was 11 and again when he was 13. That was back when WDFW gave out 8 tags just for youth.

Don't worry guys ,I'm in the antlerless moose draw ,with like 3 points.
Ya moose population is down, way I see it ,they give out tags.
Somebody gets drawn, someone will harvest.
Why not me.

Doesn't cougar make the list?

Not me, I’ve never applied. Never had the urge to want to kill a cow moose

No kidding and there shouldn’t be a single cow moose tag given out given the state of predation here in WA

THIS! 100%

If I heard of someone who only needed a goat to complete this I’d try to help too. And I don’t even have the time, but I’d want to make it.  That would be fun just listen to the other stories.

Few comments about no antlerless tags.
I agree 100 percent.
But it's also boils down to the ,if you can't beat them ,then join them.

What I mean is...
The department is giving tags out. For whatever reason that is.
Nothing we can do about that, until they wake up and see what has happened to the moose population. Might as well enjoy the tag allocation.

Good luck to all that drawn and antlerless moose.👍

Yes, but I haven't taken a cougar.  I've taken does and bucks of each deer species, cows and bulls of each elk species, ram and ewe sheep, 3 mountain goats (before they were OIL), bull moose, and a couple black bears.  67 now and I'm still putting in for cow moose and goat, but even with max points for cow moose and 1 shy of max for goat (I drew in 96 when they first started the points gig), I'm guessing my luck in the draws may not hold out before my body doesn't....Still hopeful though....I did draw a Toutle muzzleloader bull permit this year!
