IN 2010 the general season in 578 is 3 point minimum.

i am glad they did this,because on a heavy snow year the elk that come out of the lewisriver unit get slaughtered. but i think they should of just moved the 560 boundry to the glenwood highway,and that would of solved the problem.but that would be to easy and if they had they couldn't soak you for another 6.50. good luck guys i won't be back for about 5yrs give them time to grow.

First, unit 578 is not part of the Yakima herd. The herd in 578 is actually stems from the Mt. St. Helens herd, but that doesn't really matter I guess.  578 has been any elk from about the beginning of time, this area along with 388 (formally 588), 564, etc have always been managed as deer wintering areas and agricultural main stays, which in return they didn't want the elk in these area's, that is the reason for the "any elk " unit's in the past. Now they realize that these areas can hold the deer and elk populations with no problem and as far as agricultural, there has been a decrease in the amount of Ag. and more development. I think the three point or better is great, and as far as the more antlerless permit's that just SMELLS OF MORE REVENUE FOR THE WDFW!
