Same here... Grandkids live next door, which is awesome, but that also means the wife is firmly planted. lol

I get that 100%
My daughter and grandkids lives in Deer park Wa. Only a 40 minute drive for us now and my wife was freaking out living that far apart. My other daughter lives in Frenchtown, MT. It is what it is.., can’t make everyone happy.

So you are moving to the middle? Sounds perfect... We even offered to sell the place and build a commune in Idaho, still working on it :)

Good luck to you. Yes kinda in the middle. I’d love to live near my daughter in frenchtown as well, but the closest place for work is Missoula which is more liberal than western WA. Only a matter of time fella’s and I’m trying to buy a few years.

I hear ya...we all have our horror stories about the WA draw. I realized not long ago that is likely now I'll go From being a teen to dying in this state and never drawing a quality deer tag. But man, you're moving up in the world. Lot of good hunts ahead and a lot less BS politics. I'm jealous. At any rate, good luck to us all this year on the draw.

Compared to Washington, it's the Free State of Idaho!

I haven’t even put in for hard spots to draw for my deer and still can’t draw. Not expecting anything different this year and if I don’t draw, one final F you to Wa. I literally have Elk in my back yard in ID and excited to finally be a resident and stop paying non resident to ID. Plus the feeling of being a free man from all the gun laws, etc in WA.
Wish you all good luck this year 👍

When I moved to Idaho 3 years ago I left 25 points each for Goat , Moose and Sheep. I was going to keep putting in for Washington but decided what makes me think I could draw now when I havent for 25 years.
Although I havent drawn anything in Idaho either LOL

Thank you. It’s a shame, WA is one of the most beautiful states in the nation. It used to be a great state to hunt and I have taken many trophies here. I can’t take the politics anymore and feel for my fellow hunters that are stuck. I know I can run, but can’t hide moving to ID. Maybe I’ll have at least 10 years of piece before the diseased libs take over.
Good luck again everyone.

Agree 100%, I wish we could win this state back but they will never get rid of mail in voting, the dems have cheating down and you are right, it will spread. My wife is all over moving to Idaho, even MT if we could find the right spot. Gonna retire next May and will be moving by two years out of Wa. I've been looking on zillow for prob 5 years and yet to find my piece of heaven. Grangville to priest river, Troy MT, heck, even looked at the west side of sheridan Wy but that is too far for the wife. Our daughter and son in law will stay in Orting for now, too much money to be made, that is the trap!! Max points on quality and bull elk, 22 points for deer, max for sheep and goat, I'm sure I will be leaving it all behind, hate to leave Wa, but hate communism more. DemoRats just don't see it.
