I guess people on this forum are just more worried about pictures of buck and not thinking about the youth Hunters and how Washington hunting seasons keep getting shorter and the regulations keep getting more and more ridiculous where if you look at Montana's regulations or Idaho's regulations Oregon's regulations they're not nearly full of this much BS has Washington state is look up Idaho hunting season deer hunting season goes for a couple months in your tears can coincide if you buy hey archery tag you can still hunt with Muzzleloader and modern firearm during the propriate times of the year that you take Washington State Muzzleloader season October 1st to October 9th one week now I know I can not be the only person in Washington State there is willing to call this BS out for what it isFirst off Welcome to the site. Second off you ain't gonna make any friend talkin crap on everyone on the forum. Should have just asked for a little help. Good luck.

Well first of all, I learned how to hunt by killing a buck, so I'm pretty sure it's possible. Secondly, it's called hunting, not killing, third of all, there are lots of rules because they are trying to manage a population, not just let open slaughter happen to whomever needs to kill something. Granted, I don't agree half the time with their management......probably shouldn't go postal on everyone on the forum. Good luck
X 2 WOW! You need to chill out and take it to the WDFW. Your first post was at 7:44PM and 45 mins later you are calling everyone on the forum out.
I agree that WA has some very screwy management at times that I disagree with but for the most part they do a great job. I would love to see more youth opportunities but at the same time they have to manage the population.
We have lots of great youth hunts out there, do your scouting and take advantage of it. I spend way more time hunting with kids than I do for myself anymore and just being out there with them and enjoying this great state is what it is all about. Filling their tags is a bonus!

I'm not saying there's anything wrong with posting pictures of big bucks or books that have been harvested this year so far what I'm saying is that people should be more inclined to show their support with the up-and-coming youth Hunters and I would congratulate everybody that has got a buck so far this year during archery season congratulations I'm just asking for this forum to show a little more support for our youth because I don't care if I get a deer at all I'm out there to take my son out to get his first deer and to see you then Washington state does nothing besides keep trying to shut down hunting for all of Washington State and no one can say that they don't because I remember when I was younger first starting out hunting there wasn't nearly the regulations for stipulation or backdoor deals that fish and game do with all of the political crap I remember it when you could just go out by your tag go hunting drop the deer or an elk or whatever you would like those to her before and it was just nothing besides you and the thrill of the hunt Washington state has pretty much made it so hunting is no longer fun or entertaining or something you can do to feed your family that is all I'm trying to say
This has to be the longest post without any punctuation that I've ever seen. Congrats.

This is America, and you do have free speech protected from government censorship. But this is a privately owned and operated website. Using some tact is helpful in both free speech and private applications.
Many of us scratch our heads about WDFW policies, but attacking forum members doesn't get you anywhere. I'm a pretty quiet member, I don't post much and I don't think this page or anyone on it needs me to come to their defense. But I think you are way off base here and chose not to ask for "real help" and then lashed out at the many good people who are more than happy to help new hunters. Poor form.
Also there is a youth forum.

That will be the first one to say that I am sorry if I offended anybody but I did think that this was America and I was allowed to speak my mind and I'm not being sarcastic or a smart-ass about it
Not on this site with all the PC police and regulations experts.

To answer your question about why they changed the season from any deer to any buck would be because the area got hit hard with blue tongue last year. Deer numbers are down and need a break to come up. I agree that they should've adjusted for a youth only muzzy season any deer up there.
:yeah:
That's the same bs I was just reading on the wdfw Web site and if anybody knows the areas up there like the 111 to 113 the 108 and 105 nose there's more days there are bucks up there that's what the whole reason I went back to shooting muzzleloader was because it was still either sex and that way my kids could just learn how to take an animal down and not have to worry about if it's got horns or not
Well part of hunting is learning how to identify animals, what species they are, and if they are legal or not. :

And there is tons of support for youth hunters on this site, you just haven't been a member long enough to see it in action. People sponsor youth hunts, contests, give away hunting clothes for free that thier kids have out grown, offer up private ground free to youth to hunt on, offer up areas that are known to hold deer for youth, plus much much more.
Have you thought about, or put your kids in for an antlerless permits, if not I highly recommend it, it worked well for all three of my kids. :tup:
Please take time to get to know the forum before bashing it

Any buck, and still people cry. Feel entitled to "success" i guess. Nevermind the blue tongue or our predator issues, if ya buy a deer tag youre entitled to kill a deer right?not asking for my son to have instant success teaching him how to track deer and how to learn their patterns has been great letting him have his hopes up and turn around and now he has to try and find a buck and learn it pattern within the next couple weeks when he's already spent so much time and energy makes me feel bad for him I'm not saying that he's entitled to kill whatever he feels like I'm saying that he's worked his ass off to learn everything he can and for them to change it from any deer to anybody makes him think that we should even go hunting now after all the work that he's put into it just to turn around and be able to Harvest the dough that he's been putting a pattern to like I said earlier I could care less if I kill one or not I'm more out there to help my son and have him share in the joy of harvesting a deer

124 has a LOT of deer. It is a daily occurrence for me to see deer while driving or walking around my neighborhood. It also does stink that most of it is private but I tell you what, that IEP pass is pretty much a no brainer for my family. The family pass is only $65 (ask the guys from the west side how much they have to pay to play on some of the timber lands there) and this allows you to take your whole family (wife and kids) out in the woods. You also can take something like 5 cord of wood, pick berries and my favorite find a Christmas tree (which now a days cost about the same at a grocery store lot).
I'm a west side hunter. I believe it's upward of 300 dollars for a certain timber pass. 385 dollars maybe? I'm not certain but a family pass for 65 dollars sounds like a steal to me...

Drive south an hour instead of north an hour and there is plenty of opportunity to harvest a doe (GMU 127, 142, 145).
And don't forget 139 for late season. Knock on farm doors (in advance of season) and emphasize that it is for your son, and that it is a bit of a one-time deal, since regulations have changed temporarily in your usual hunt. I think there are good folks out there that will be responsive.
(soap-box warning)
I think it may be a great lesson for your son to learn that game animal numbers (and the rules by which we hunt them) are subject to disease, hard winters, predation, changes in forage, and so much else. For you, it is an opportunity to mentor him not just on how to hunt, but how to have a positive attitude towards the challenges of the hunt, especially from year to year. As he learns about all this, he will turn out not just to be a skilled hunter, but importantly, a hunter-conservationist. Deer in the truck, or not, that is a win, for him and for the resource. Good luck to you and your boy.
