Archery hunters being phased out...
bobcat:
Archery hunters still have the best units and the best seasons. If you have an archery tag, you don't need a special permit. Just hunt the general seasons. If you don't agree, then buy a rifle tag instead. :dunno:
Crunchy:
I wish they would cut 3-4 from the start of the seaon and put them on the end. Rutt really kicks into gear when the season is bout over. For elk that is.

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.

Not sure why I bother but 71 > 60 and shooting a spike with a bow is just a little bit more difficult. Oh and muzzleloaders cow permits at 25 is greater than zero. I would buy a muzzleloader tag if I could hunt with my bow.

The general archery season for 356 is now spike only because too many cows were being taken yet they are still giving out 40 cow permits? That doesn't add up. Harvesting a spike with a bow is much more difficult than with a rifle or muzzleloader in my opinion.

Agreed Crunchy but as Bobcat points out, most already think our season timing is too good. This is likely to never happen. Also from past conversations with biologists, hunting the last 10 days of September would be too hard on the elk and prohibit proper breeding. However they ignored their own logic by introducing the rifle tag from Sept 20 to the 24th.
