Seasons would also be more crowded, which is already a problem under the current system.

Too many people for what we have for game. As much as I would love to do it, it would be bad management.
:yeah:

it would be a slaughter.
i would think it would be better to see LESS multi-season tags sold at the same price. weed out those who draw it and don't buy it because they don't want to pay for it.

do you think that would still be the case if we dropped the drawings for all the extra tags ? my thought is that it would give you more time to get your animal not more animals.
How about instead of getting rid of the special permit hunts, they get rid of the general seasons? That's what they need to do in my opinion, at least for mule deer and elk in eastern wa.

We can not increase pressure or wildlife numbers will suffer even more, which means if a person could hunt all three seasons, they would have to be short seasons, or draw hunts.
Our wildlife can not withstand a free-for-all, there are tradeoffs either way you look at it.

I think it would make it so they weren't taking the first legal animal they saw allowing the animal's to reach maturity. I know i would pass on a lot more animals if i had more opportunity to pick and choose without feeling like it might be my only chance for the year.
I am with superdown........
I would not feel so rushed to shoot the first leagal animal i see. It would give you more time to hunt for the animal you desire, but maybe put some added restrictions, or draw only for the whole state. Those that are drawn to hunt, can hunt all seasons with proper weapons.

More time to get your animal would significantly increase the total harvest. A lot of guys don't get "their" one animal now, so any additional days in the field will only increase the harvest rates.+1

I disagree. Being able to buy over the counter tags is the main reason I hunt here in Washington. It's nice to know that I can go big game hunting every year without having to draw tags. I think a lot of people would quit hunting locally if we got rid of general seasons.do you think that would still be the case if we dropped the drawings for all the extra tags ? my thought is that it would give you more time to get your animal not more animals.

I agree with the thought as well that you'd have less crowding b/c not everyone woudl have to cram their hunting into the one or two weekends they have free during the season specified for their tag. It may actually engcourage some hunters to get our there and learn a new skill too which is good for the sport, but thats just a bi-product .

Going to draw only hunting would give some awesome hunting opportunities BUT I like being able to go hunting every year not every couple of years!!!! and I dont think the state would ever do it because they would not make as much money as they do now...........

As stated above, the current "special permit: multi season hunt" is too expensive. Its almost punative to get drawn.
