Bean counter http://apps.leg.wa.gov/WAC/default.aspx?cite=232-12&full=true.  Very bottom of the page. washington state law RCW 232-12-840. Also with liver cancer along with many other cancers there are stages. My father was a stage two. He possibly now is a three. Stage four is bed ridden and near the end. He is unable to have a transplant and unable to have treatment like chemo due to the fact that he has cirrohsis as well. This makes it terminal. I dont know how he came across this tag  I didnt ask him, I assumed it was in the regulations packet but it wasnt or at least i havnt been able to locate it. I understand the doubt. Neither of us have heard of this tag either.

Me neither. Also the dudes first post. Think well hear back from him? Smells of to me.  I lost a relative to liver.cancer this year and by the time it was terminal she would have been in no ability to hunt. I would guess this is a I didnt scout enough type of post.

Great post.

Wow, WDFW may have a soul?

 I hope this isn't some scam, but I am a sucker. I truly hope that this is true (telling the truth) and as such will extend my help to the family if I can.

It's a legit program. Several tags get issued every year for terminally ill individuals.

Don't feel like you have to just because a couple richard craniums question you in this matter.  Screw 'em!!
Bust of luck to you and your Dad on a successful hunt and more importantly the quality memories you will carry with you of this opportunity for the two of you.

His first post made you think  BS,  and your 1856th post made me think,   *censored*

I have heard of this tag in other states but did not know it exhisted in WA. state.

I feel Bobcats question was legit and and asked correctly but the other comment was way off base 


Keep us up todate on his tag. I wish I could help more but I gave the best info I could and I have an elk to kill next week 

Good Luck
