robodad:
having to cram all your hunting (Deer and Elk) into 7 days ??
wastickslinger:
That is why I do archery elk and muzz deer or vice versa every year. I don't like to do both muzzleload because for the most part the seasons completely overlap. There are a few units open late but not many.

On the otherhand, those guys who only get a few days off a year get to hunt for both deer and elk during the same week. 

Sagedawg:
I dont mind it to much. A few of the areas I hunt have elk running around on them and if one presents a shot Ill take it. The only bad thing is if you get an elk down you spend alot of time packing out so you deer hunting suffers or vice versa.

I've heard from several people that Muzzleloaders get all these great seasons, but that isn't happening in Eastern Washington. Maybe someone who hunts the West side can chime in with their opportunities. It's great being able to hunt both deer and elk at the same time but it sure goes by quick.
PolarBear:
I usually only get to hunt 4 days max a year for deer and 4 max for elk.  I'm use to it and have found out how to make the most of it and make it pay off.  I use to hunt deer for 2-3 weeks straight with limited results.  I do much better if I know my time is short and have to make every minute count.  It keeps me from getting lazy or hunting half-assed.
