If you could have a dream Washington tag...
« on: April 18, 2010, 08:55:07 PM »
This is a totally hypothetical hunt... This time of year all the hunting i can do is dream hunting. My practical dream hunt would be a nooksack bull tag but if i could get a "dream" hunt it would be an August hunt for mulies in the Pasayten. Im just curious what impractical dream hunts other people have.

I'll take the mountain goat. Would prefer something up around Mt Gardner or Mount Baker. Just would be happy to knock down a nice billy and preferrably with the longbow.

I have been doing a lot of research on Idaho and its crazy how many more tags they have for moose, sheep and goat compared to washington. They do have a quarter of the population but we have more "protected" area... we shouldn't have less then a tenth of their number of moose tags, less then have of their sheep tags and just over a third of their total number of goat tags. thats just crazy to me.

Oh and the new multi species tags are looking awesome but 16 to 20 bucks for a raffle is crazy to me.

It isn't? What other reason would there be? Moose haven't been hunted to extinction in most of the state that I know of. I assume where there are no moose it IS due to a lack of habitat. But that is just an assumption. I really don't know. Do you?

I dont know enough about moose or the history of moose in washington to answer that question but when i look at moose habitat in other states and bc it appears that we have the habitat maybe just not the means to bring them to huntable levels like idaho.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Governor's/Legislature's tag.  I would like to legally hunt down the witch and her cronies who are destroying this state and it's economy!  Either that or a 5 year tag that allows me to take one of every big game species (and one of each sub-species protected or not) in this state.
