With all that said, I just spent $111 on applications. I think the only one I didn't buy was the antlerless deer application and fall turkey application. Got the goat and sheep for point only, in hopes of drawing it down the road. Then of course the normal quality, buck and second deer. Quality, bull and antlerless elk and of course antlerless and any moose.
Let the dreams begin!! :drool: :drool:

It's a real bummer, I applied for absolutely everything for myself and my family, but I between the poor management, lack of science based decisions, willingness to throw hunters and fishermen under the bus and huge reduction of tags and finally seeing the dismal odds, I can't justify it anymore.
Best of luck to those that apply, hope you draw and shoot a monster.

Not applying for anything this year and not buying big game tags in WA. For the money saved just from my application, I can go on a WY antelope hunt. It's a combination of sending a message and making the best use of my limited hunting budget.

Email the commission and the director explaining to them why you are no longer going to put money in their pockets. They need to be getting lots of letters like that. I sent one last night.
