Ok so I have a confession to make. Every year that I go I buy doe tags and eat them. Just to save a few. :peep: |

When we went we’d always buy a doe tag too. Already there and made the investment might as well make it worth our trip. But there were tons and tons of deer where we were at. I don’t think I’d do it with as bad as people are making it sound now. --- Quote from: MADMAX on December 06, 2025, 05:48:36 PM ---We hunted there for 10 days mid November. I saw no overcrowding where I was at. We were in the south east corner. Saw plenty of deer. I agree with what’s been said on the doe tags. Limit the b tags to Whitetail Then probably increase the price from 50 bucks to 150 bucks for non-residents --- End quote --- Are they only $50 now? I thought they were around $75 when we used to buy them but I haven’t been back since 2019 --- End quote --- Nope your right, $75 I dont buy them |

With limiting the NR tags they are also reducing the number of tags someone can have from 8 to 3 so that will actually help. Not that a lot of people shoot 8 deer but some people do. For each doe shot in November that’s 3 less deer in June if that does survives winter. 🤷♂️ |

Maybe I just missed it, but is the reduction just in the category of “Deer Combo” or are they going to prorate it out across all NR draws ie: landowner sponsor, come home to hunt, etc? What this creates could be a return to applying for the Big Game Combo, then electing to put in for an Elk unit that only has minimal NR tags so when you don’t draw your elk you get refunded that portion and retain your deer tag. There are many things that can be done to improve numbers, but it boils down to residents not liking out of staters (and we here in Washington are their least favorite) and the ever growing political stance of concentrating on how to get re-elected rather than solving issue. |

I don't think they would cut come home to hunt as it was created for the legislator's kids to be able to come home and hunt with their parents. |
