Title: Hunting regs/ draw dates
Post by: Optimusprime on April 10, 2018, 02:36:06 PM: Anyone know when the new regs come out? Also, I never pay attention to the special draws but when do you typically put in for those?

Has anyone experienced any PR campaign by the WDFW with the private landowners in the NE corner of the state????

If they are worried about to many Doe's, work to getting some of the "no hunting" signs down!

Put in with someone that has lower points than you do. My dad has yet to draw and I only have bout 8 points so we’re going to try that hope it works since he will be 69 this year
