Not sure, It lists a 3 member County Game Commission and the Game Wardens name. It also references some of the Mason County laws. I found it interesting that moose hunting was prohibited in Grays Harbor County during those years.

There were periods of no hunting for things like elk and bear that would last a few years back then.  And when it would open, it would be like a four day season.

Elk hunting was closed until the early 30's.

When I first got my hunting license (early 60s) you could either buy a county license (which was cheaper) or a State license. The county license allowed you to only hunt in the county that issued it.

That is cool. I have been keeping one new reg's since I started hunting and my lic and tags. I have reg's in plastic covers since 1994 to 2014 plus one from my grandpa back in 1980 season. I like to look back at the prices and season changes. It is crazy how some thing change.

Wish I'd of kept my hunting regulation booklets from over the years, very unerving in some cases. they used to be only aboout 20 pages or so to well over 100 now :yike:.
You could get a deer tag for $15.00 and an elk tag for about $25.00 or so.

wow thought I was old lol  never got one untill the 80's just after passing hunter safety. I was 14.
I remember dad took to Grandmas and Granpas that night to celebrate got to drink beer lol.
Oh well still pushing 50 so not that far behind.
Glad you guys got to know a lot cheaper prices than I.
Not sure all this extra money the demand from us has been worth it though. Seems like the more it costs the less you get to go. But whatever still interesting to see how things are/were.

Each county used to have their own game/wildlife commission, they also appointed their own game wardens.

California still has a system like that. Each county has a fish and wildlife commission which serves as an advisory commission to the state fish and wildlife commission. Per law, county fish and wildlife commissions can hire their own game wardens to work for the county although as far as I know none do. So basically you'd have the state fish and wildlife officers, and the county fish and wildlife officers. Counties are also authorized to operate their own fish hatcheries.
