It appears they replaced the additional space dedicated to those who have accomplished both slams since it's inception with an ad for the NWTF. That was the one page dedicated to Washington turkey hunters, you know, the ones that actually pay the freight. What a waste. :twocents:

I agree with Wacent, it's the only page actually dedicated to Washington hunters, and not just any hunter, the ones that have achieved what most haven't or only dream about. I believe ALL the slam winners should be recognized!

If they say if space related they could either add a page or delete some other non essential text. :twocents:

Ya me and the bro in law was talking about that this weekend. I thought the youth hunt has been the weekend before the general opener?

Who cares? That's why....

I've completed it but didn't know how to apply and didn't care enough to figure it out. I bet there are quite a few like myself in this category. :dunno:
