Lowedog, I like the points you made in your post!  Spot on!  Alot of great Idea's on here.  Another option I was thinking would be to open the season earlier for a general hunt just like Wyoming say Sept 15th and run it for two weeks.  Then permit only later on, with limited tags.  This state has extreme potential, but needs to start at the top!

SO ............What are we going to do about it?
We can blog about it, complain about it and wish that things were better OR we can let the WDFW know what we are seeing in the field and ask for changes.

I would like to see fewer special permit in all of the Chelan County units south of Lake Chelan.  The fires made great forage habitat for winter range but escape cover is very limited.  The winter range hunts in November and December need to be greatly reduced.  The Swakane unit archery hunt should either be permit only or areas open to archery hunters needs to be expanded to reduce the pressure on that herd. 
DO SOMETHING, These people need to hear from us:

Region 2 Director is Dennis Beich, 1550 Alder Street NW, Ephrata, WA 98823   phone (509) 754-4624

Region 2 WDFW Wenatchee Office, 3806 Chelan Hwy North, Wenatchee, WA 98801-9607  (509) 662-0452

WDFW Director, Dr. Jeff Koenings, 600 Capitol Way N, Olympia WA 98501-1091  e-mail Director@dfw.wa.gov

e-mail each of the 9 commissioners at Commission@dfw.gov
Jerry Gutzwiler form Wenatchee is the Commission Chair

They really do listen and most of them do care.

Muleracks, thanks for the links. I will send mail tonight. I agree we need to spread the archery units out.
