It seems to me it would be huntable in accordance of the regulations for that unit. I haven't looked at the regs. but deer season on Whidbey would be the same as deer on the mainland for general following the private land permission included. Wouldn't elk be? The elk that showed up in north Whatcom Co this fall were hunted under the regs for the area and one was shot during muzzy season.
I agree.

“There’s always that worry that a bad apple is going to try to take an easy stab,” Downes said. “That being said, there is no legal season for elk hunting on Whidbey Island and it would be unlawful for anyone to harvest it.”

It may be huntable. But could you imagine being the person that harvested it? Probably be about as popular as the guy that got that octopus up by Seattle last year. people would make it really hard for a person to enjoy harvesting that elk!
I'd find a way to enjoy it.

"I thought that I just read an article about a guy who accidentally shot an elk while deer hunting back east and it wasn't a problem because elk were not suppose to be in the state and there was no season for them."
I believe what you are referring to here happens in W. VA with the elk that have been reintroduced into Kentucky. The animals cross state lines and they are killed because of W. VAs position on them. I think that position is idiotic and W. VA should participate in the expansion of the KY herd since elk did roam those lands in the past.
It would be great if WDFW would bring a few cows here to WI to keep this guy company. They should also take some and put on the other islands so in the future when the herds are decimated by the predator population they can return them to the east side.
