Archery hunters being phased out...

(1/14) > >>

dreamingbig:
As we all know, GMU 356 has been switched to a spike only unit for early archery.  Now on top of that the amount of bull permits was slashed to 60 for this year!

While upsetting, it would be a lot more tolerable if the other user groups felt the same.  However there are now more opportunities for muzzleloader and modern firearm than archery.  Please explain???

Modern firearm has a spike only season, plus 55 bull tags, 1 special rut tag and 15 anterless tags; total special permit is 71

Muzzleloader has a spike only season, plus 10 bull tags and 25 anterless tags; total special permit is 35.

Where are the Archery anterless permit opportunities?  I understand that rifle and muzzleloader hunters are probably high fiving each other but bowhunters better take notice.  This is just the beginning!

WDFW-SUX:
they dont want to disturb the rifle hunters in september with all of us stick flingers...

DRENALINJUNKIE:
I just read about the new changes...Have you looked at the deer seasons?  We are getting it from every direction.  They are cutting tags for archery everywhere.  Whats the Deal.

hirshey:
Is my math incorrect or is 60 not greater than 35?  :chuckle:

I know perhaps an antlerless tag or two would be grand... but still sounds like there are opportunites to be had. I think there will always be a place for archers here in WA.

nw_bowhunter:
In general I noticed less archery special permits in the 2010 regs. It seems like there was not a lot of areas to apply for...
