Title: GMU Opening Wa.
Post by: SpicyTacos on March 08, 2015, 10:47:04 AM: Does anyone have a link or know which additional GMUs are proposed for muzzleloader in Washington in 2015? I thought I read that there are 24 GMUs being added. Thanks.

Post by: STIKNSTRINGBOW on March 08, 2015, 11:33:49 AM: It was in the proposed changes, submissions to comment ended on the 24th of Feb, might try the "search" option.
I looked myself, but unable to locate on the WDFW page.
Comments no longer accepted after February 24, 2014.

Patience is a good virtue.

I'm excited to see the regs in April.

Did Dickey get swapped for Goodman?

Post by: bobcat on March 08, 2015, 12:09:55 PM: I forgot Goodman. It's also listed as a new early muzzleloader unit.

So it looks like eastern mule deer muzzleload and eastern muzzleload general elk run the same week now? NICE!! As if back to back wasn't bad enough, now you have to choose one or the other

Post by: RadSav on March 08, 2015, 02:10:59 PM: Sure!!! A year after I get drawn for a multi-elk tag they open the good areas for muzzy elk. Maybe those units will still be open in another 10 years when I draw it again! :chuckle:

That late season muzzy hunt was always a fun time!
