Hi. Don't believe anybody on HW except me....... :chuckle:
Uh oh. You are already getting some questionable advice. ;)
Welcome to Washington. NE Washington is a great place to start, and Idaho is just across the border. You are in paradise. If you ever get the chance, spend some time in SE Washington (in the Blue Mountains)--I have heard that there aren't any elk there.

Welcome and thanks for your service. My last gig in the AF was Tinker AFB, OK. My first gig was Fairchild AFB.
My father retired from Tinker back in 87'. It's a great place to live if you love chasing Whitetails. Thank u for your service.

Hello everyone,You picked (maybe the AF did it) one hell of a place to live. Please excuse WDFW for their ridiculous regs but still a lot of great hunting to be had
I recently recieved an assignment to Fairchild AFB. I'm extremely excited about it. Me and the family are hoping to find a home, retire and grow some roots in Eastern Washington. I'm an avid bowhunter and love to hunt any and everything that could be shot with a bow. I just thought that I'd drop in and say hello..

So, after reading through most of the regulation pamphlet, I get the impression that Washington rules and seasons favor rifle hunting. Am I wrong? Please tell me I am.I think it is a mix. Rifle seems to have some good special permits and good blacktail seasons. Bow and muzzy seem to have the elk--can shoot cows and early season is closer to the rut and late seasons closer to the migrations.

I only bow hunt, so I'm hoping I'll still be able to do a lot of that in Washington. The archery season seem to be short from what I've noticed. The regulations, tags, permits and land access are overwhelming.

Post by: JimmyHoffa on November 13, 2014, 07:07:38 PM
You can use bow and arrow in any of the seasons (ex: during muzzle loader or rifle). Can even get a multiseason permit and use the bow in all in the same year. Just have to wear orange if you go in rifle. The other weapons aren't allowed in bow, and rifle isn't allowed in muzzy. So, if season timing seems better for a different weapon, just go that season with your bow.So, after reading through most of the regulation pamphlet, I get the impression that Washington rules and seasons favor rifle hunting.

Good info.
So let me get this straight. If I wanted to hunt different dates then what was designated as archery season, I could choose a rifle transport tag, and hunt the rifle season with a bow (just gotta wear orange)?
The multi-season permit will allow me to hunt through all the seasons (archery, rifle, muzzy) with my bow?

Fairchild AFB. We're looking to buy a home in Cheney.
There are some Muleys in Cheney/Medical Lake that will make your eyes water (except they are in someones garden in the city limits). Send me a PM. I'm retired AF, bowhunter and still work at Fairchild. I may be able to give you some starter advice.
