Am I reading this wrong???

[Lowedog]

So...when I bought my deer, elk, bear, cougar combo along with my multi elk tag this morning why didn't it ask me if I wanted east or west?

[billythekidrock]

Probably because you got the Multi. 

[Elkstuffer]

The column "Tag required to apply" designates the type of hunting implement.  "F" is modern firearm, "M" is muzzleloader, and "A" is archery. "E" is Eastern Washington, "W" is Western Washington.   "EA" means "Eastern Archery", "WF" means "Western Modern", and so forth.  When you purchase an elk tag, you must specific (a) Eastern or Western, and (b) Modern, Muzzleloader, or Archery.  You are then limited to which permit hunts you can utilize.

These are the only initials I know right now: FU WDFW WTF R U thinking?

If I was a vendor, I would be really pissed off at this crap. To damned complicated. If you hit a sales counter to buy something like this, the vendor gets squat for all their hassle.

Wildlife staff should have to sell to the public. Then, they would make the regs alot easier to understand and tags/permits quicker to purchase.

I agree. The limited training that one employee receives (and then has to share with other employees) is not enough to keep up with the changes. I feel bad for the kid behind the counter.

I remember one year I had to fill out the paper ap for the clerk. It was a "sporting goods" store in the old South Sound mall that sold bikes and tents and for some reason hunting licenses.

You don't have to choose east/west with the multi season elk, you can hunt both.  That is one of the things that makes this tag so cool.

No. This year you have to choose North side or South side. Just kidding. It definately would not suprise me though.

Well said!

I hope 50% of the people can't understand it is that my odds will increase.    It made perfect sense to me the first time I read it.

I'll wait to cuss after the draw   Compress it into one rant

[sneakyjake]

Are they going to draw the tags in the order of the categories?  So if I get drawn on the quality, I drop out for the others and gain points for them and only lose my quality points?

[bobcat]

The order doesn't matter. You can draw a permit in all the categories you apply in.
