I just spoke to Cody Arocha (sp?) at WDFW licensing division. He confirmed that I can hunt anywhere, with any weapon, any deer and any time between sept 1st and december 31st. The area of the regs you were looking at simply means I could not hunt an area that was not open for either a general season or a special permit season. I can hunt during or outside of those season. If hunting during the season, i needed to use the weapon of that season. He sent this to me so i now have the documentation again. WABONE, I would suggest not accusing people of things when you have a only a fraction of the truth available to you. Not cool.
p.s. 4 gmu's are closed to this hunt; numbers 157, 418, 485 and 522
