I have always argued that fishing more than paid for my hunting, but it’s no longer worth it to me in WA. First year I won’t be elk hunting in WA. You left off several other state options to choose from.Yeah it only gave me 5 options

It’s too cheap an application to not apply in wa.

That is where they have you by the nuts. Get hooked on the "prize" and feel like you can't leave until you cash out. I am in a similar boat with 13 quality deer but luckily I burned my quality elk last year and won't be applying again. :IBCOOL:

You can still put in for the moon shot in WA if you want, but it's a sucker's bet.

Hunted outa state on and off for last 30 years, hunted WA every year up til about 3 years ago now only hunt WA if I draw something. General WA season with hoofrot just doesn't excite me when I can goto Idaho, Montana, Colorado or BC.How is BC as far as cost and ease of getting a tag ?

Canada requires a guide for NR big game hunts. Drives up the cost. Not a DIY hunt.

I started hunting in Washington in 1954. Last year I hunted some in Washington and some in Idaho. This year I will Hunt 100% in Idaho.
That many years of experience speaks volumes to me. Only hunted WA for 4 years now and starting to stretch the legs to other states beginning this year. Working on choosing between ID or OR tags to start the new adventures.

WA will be pretty good again if everyone goes to idaho :chuckle:It's not just about the amount of people it also has to do with the people in charge of the F&G departments. Considering WA policy is to hire guys that were incompetent at there jobs in ID and giving them higher positions, I think it'd take a few decades of changes for WA to catch up with ID.

Washington is always a filler state for me. I’ll hunt my multi-season deer tag around my out of state hunts.

I'm surprised how few are going to Wyoming.
I live 2 hours south and tried for elk, but no such luck.

Probably because they don’t have OTC tags.
