I never thought in a million years I’d see such a big increase in elk permits in the Yakima area, all weapons! It’s been along time since we’ve had this many quality/bull tags. Now let’s see if they actually pass it…

But still nowhere near where they should be.  The huge decreases were done with little biological support.

The herd is doing amazing, bring back the 2015 permit levels!

I think final numbers will be more conservative.

And also the whole state is going to apply for those tags now. Wouldn't surprise me to see draw odds stay much the same.
