Washington State hunters should be able to hunt the whole state during any elk season, not just half of it.

wrong....
You like crowds, don't you?
Every Tom Dick and Harry would be putting in for Eastside permits and when they don't draw they'll be hunting the west side.
I'll stick to playing the game of chance in order to avoid giant unbearable crowds.
Or you could pay up and get the multi-season tags.

Agreed. All it would do is create concentrations of hunters and over-crowding issues (not to mention tougher draw odds for eastside tags).

You are so right. This the only state I have hunted in that you have to claim which part of the state you want to hunt
So I take it you haven't hunted in Oregon? They have FIVE general season elk tags you have to choose from. Three areas, with two of those areas having "first season" tag, and a "second season" tag.
They have:
Coast First Season
Coast Second Season
Cascade
Rocky Mtn Elk First Season
Rocky Mtn Elk Second Season
This is for rifle hunts. I'm not sure what they have for bow hunting but you get the idea. I remember when Washington only had one elk tag and you could hunt anywhere in the state. But that was when we had a lot less people.

I agree with you guys about what the crowds would be like but also feel I'm a citizen of this state.... the whole state. Not just half of it. If I pay taxes for the whole state I should be able to hunt the whole state.
You can hunt the whole state, just not in the same year. :twocents:

No offense, but based on another thread you started or posted in you might consider hunting elk somewhere other than the Colockum. That seems to me to be kinda like hunting that Vail tree farm then complaining about the crowd. There's a lot of places to hunt deer and elk where there's a lot of animals and not a lot of people.

I have no sympathy for this complaint. We on the east side have been putting up with the west side ways, with the big city's agenda's due to strength in population, and taking state tax dollars for your big west side projects from the beginning. One of thousands of examples is.....thanks to the west side grand do gooders the entire state is not allowed to have gun racks in the back window of our 4X4's and yes that applies to you the wheat farmer. NO SYMPATHY. I move we start a grass roots effort to have the Idaho stateline moved west to Ellensburg.
Actually you should say westside LIBERALS! I for one vote 100% conservative. So I vote the Same as you and am stuck with the same liberal BS.... how is It my fault?

What does any of your post have to do with what side of the state you go elk hunting on?
I don't have any sympathy either. I just get in my truck and drive to your side of the state to hunt.

I agree and will be the first to admit there are many exceptions like you that understand and are good folks.
Not that if you disagree you are bad it is just not a advantageous view point for the east side due to the agriculture and different culture charateristics that the Cascade mountain range influences.
It is a majority issue as I think we can both agree on.

ummm really I see gun racks in rigs all the time even here on the westside what law is this you speak of? :dunno:
and Idaho seems all well and good until you live there and have to deal with some of the crap that just does not make any sense.....and as mentioned not sure what this has to do with picking a side to hunt elk :dunno:

I think a few years back they tried to pass that law but I didn't think it passed...

We on the westside have the same problem. Hunters from the eastside coming over here to hunt OUR bull elk. They give this lame excuse that they are getting tired of hunting spikes. :rolleyes::yeah: :lol4:
