forgive me if this is a repeat. Just noticed this on line
WDFW Big Game Hunting Seasons and Regulations Pamphlet Errata
The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife has made several corrections and
clarifications to the recently released 2009 Big Game Hunting Seasons and Regulations
pamphlet.
Corrections announced on May 13, 2009
General Cougar Seasons (page 50)
o The comma between GMUs 328 and 368 for the South Cascades, Blue Mountains,
Kittitas-Yakima, Spokane Hunt Zone should be replaced with a dash. GMUs 328 through
368 are open for the general cougar season.
Modern Firearm General Deer Season (page 17)
o Under the Late Modern Firearm Western Washington Black-tailed Deer Season, GMU
410 is incorrectly listed twice (any buck & any deer) within the Nov. 19-22 timeframe.
Any deer may be hunted in GMU 410 from Nov. 19-22.
Elk Areas (pages 32 & 81)
o The legal description for Elk Area 5056 Grays River Valley (Wahkiakum County) was
inadvertently left off page 81. The description should read: On or within 3/4 mile of
agricultural land in the Grays River Valley within the following sections: T10N, R7W,
Sections 8, 9, 17, 18 and T10N, R8W, Sections 13, 23, 24, 26.
o Elk Area 4041 Grandy Creek (Skagit County) is shown on the map on page 32. There is
no season or description for this area. That area should be labeled 4941 Skagit River.
There were no changes to the boundary of 4941 this year.
o GMU boundaries and legal descriptions were included in the pamphlet for Elk Areas
6061 and 6068; there are no seasons in either of these GMUs this year.
Elk Special Permits (pages 42, 43, 45, 46)
o Footnote e is missing from the Mudflow permit hunts (Hunt Choices Numbers: 2150,
2151, 2259, 2260, 2337, 2338, 2600, 2706, and 2707). Footnote e refers people to see
the following website before applying for these hunts for important hunt information and
restrictions: wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/special-permits_raffles
Landowner Hunting Permit Program Permit Hunts for Deer (page 28)
o The blue note at the bottom of the table incorrectly references page 102 for information
regarding public raffle opportunities. The correct page for more information is page 4.
Bighorn Sheep Unit Map (page 53)
o The Wenaha Sheep Unit (11) boundary is that part of GMU 169 within Crooked Creek
drainage. The map on page 53 shows the hunt unit within the rest of GMU 169, not the
portion within Crooked Creek.
Disabled Hunter License Fee Clarification (page 12)

veteran with 30% service connected disability; resident veteran 65 years of age or older
