You can hunt with any weapon during the time frame unless there is an open season in the unit you are hunting, and then you have to use the weapon type that is in that particular season.
Haven't heard that part before, that sucks!

I don't think thats accurate.
You can definitely use a rifle during archery seasons with a raffle tag if you want to.

I was wondering about that part too. It doesn't say that in the regulation pamphlet.

ADD maybe, I don't know.
sorry I missed that.

I thought that it was any legal weapon during that weapons particular time frame.. meaning you could go during archery with a bow, then again during rifle with rifle, etc. Sounds though like you could have bow, rifle, and muzzleloaders all in the GMU at the same time. how many tags are given out for that GMU?

Those raffles sound like a poor mans govenors tag!
That is exactly what it is. As far as I can come up with, there is no difference except the price tag. You can hunt the Entiat with a rifle from Sept 1 till Dec. 31 if you wanted to.
Literally.

That is correct! Mule_Deer_Crazy won the raffle several years ago and kindly abstained from smoking a buck in the Entiat during the late archery season - but had he done so, he would have been entirely within his rights. Something for archers to consider when bashing on rifle hunters ...Those raffles sound like a poor mans govenors tag!

wow! that is alot of info. the tag cant be used in permit only units ........
yes it can.
Post by: bobcat on May 18, 2010, 10:56:56 PM
Of course the only one worth trying with that tag would be Desert. You could get in there the day after the Desert rifle permit season ends on November 7th. Hunt that for about a week, and then head up to Chelan or Okanogan, and hunt some of the units that don't have a late archery season, like Pearrygin and Chewuch.
Man that would be great to hunt a unit that has absolutely nobody else hunting it, AND while the deer are rutting. Shoot, I think I just talked myself into buying a few raffle tickets.
And I was going to try to give the WDFW as little money as possible this year. :bash:

I am pretty sure if I drew that tag I would probably lose my job because I would be gone Nov 1st-Dec 31st.
you think it would take that long?
Post by: jackelope on May 19, 2010, 09:23:28 AM
The only permit only units are Desert, Quilomene, and Alkali and I don't see anything that says a guy can't hunt those units with the mule deer raffle tag. It says "GMU's open to mule deer hunting."

You could hunt the Desert 9/1 if you wanted to. You could also hunt the units with a late archery season during the late archery season if you wanted to.
:dunno:

My reasoning was that with that tag I would try to hunt units at times when there is no other season going on. To me that would be the best way to take full advantage of that opportunity.
