Title: Check the online regs
Post by: Rainier10 on September 20, 2022, 10:12:55 AM: Hard copy regulations show archery deer in 163,178 and a bunch of other units open 9/1-9/15 but online shows it open until 9/25. 9/25 overlaps with the muzzy season in those same unit which opens on 9/24. I just got off the phone with WDFW and was told online is correct and there is a two day muzzy overlap.

First photo is online second is paper regs.

Post by: Rainier10 on September 20, 2022, 10:56:19 AM: I told a guy my daughter was muzzy hunting this weekend and he said it’s still archery season. I said no it’s not, the game department shortened the season and closed archery on the 15th. He texted me photo of web regs and I texted him photo of paper regs. I followed up with if you are right then there is an onverlap with muzzy season and that vacant be right.

In the end I was wrong on all counts. >:(

Hopefully this will save some arguments this weekend in the field when a guy is stalking a muley with a bow and a muzzy guy dumps it from 150 yards away.

Hard copy regulations show archery deer in 163,178 and a bunch of other units open 9/1-9/15 but online shows it open until 9/25. 9/25 overlaps with the muzzy season in those same unit which opens on 9/24. I just got off the phone with WDFW and was told online is correct and there is a two day muzzy overlap.

First photo is online second is paper regs.
So 251 is also open for archery til the 25 according to the online regs. So I have missed 5 days I could of been still hunting cause a miss print

beyond irritating. But not surprising with wdfw. It's always a question with them. What's next. Especially after this whole multi season debacle.
