Well, you heard right! Someone's been holding out on us. Here it is:
http://wdfw.wa.gov/about/regulations/2016/wsr_16-04-126.pdf
From the proposed regulations:
WAC 232-12-287 Possession of dead wildlife.
Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules:
Currently there is no legal way to salvage and possess deer, elk, or moose that have been killed by a motor vehicle. Per a request by the Fish and Wildlife Commission, the Department has investigated a strategy that would allow salvage and possession of those animals. The proposed amendments to WAC 232-12-287 would facilitate the legal salvage of road-killed deer and elk.
Reasons supporting proposal: This proposal would allow citizens to salvage meat from a deer or elk that has been killed in a vehicle collision.
Finally, Washington might get some common sense. Idaho has done this for ages.

Hope no one saw that Archery Teanaway tag in September! That will be an amazing hunt!That's actually a reduction of sorts to the pressure in the Teanaway. 335 used to be included with the Colockum tags. Now it is carved out with only one tag allocated. They also did away with the late archery tag.

Last year there were 8 archery tags that let you hunt it in September and 11 archery tags for November/December. Now there is just one archery tag, period, and it's in September. :twocents:I just would love to hunt in September as opposed to November.Hope no one saw that Archery Teanaway tag in September!

Why would they drop it down to one Sept tag and no late archery tags? Plenty of elk to support more tags.They tend to not follow reason or common sense. I have heard everything from Native Americans taking to many too the presence of wolves. Could also be the liberal anti Hunter bias in the area which is rather high.
