They're almost impossible to draw but if you put the archery or muzzleloader Peaches Ridge hunt for your 2nd choice it won't hurt to have one of the others as a first choice.

I was about to start a topic figured I'd look here first. Why do the wet side archery permits suck so bad ? Is the toutle quality tag any good ? I'll probably still put in but not many choices.
Well, there's not as many elk as there used to be, in most of the areas. But I still think most of the permits in the quality category are good hunts. They're just not good if all you care about is killing a bull that will make the book. For me, I don't care so much about that aspect of it, if I see a lot of bulls and have a lot of shot opportunities, and see few hunters, that's a quality hunt in my mind.

Thanks bobcat . I agree after looking into the WA hunts for quality they aren't bad at all. I would love to shoot a smaller class bull. The number of tags for WA is far less than other quality maybey that's why it looked so bad at first glance. I would rather points for a good ea permit anyways.

Now getting drawn in a whole other thing but at least I can try :tup:
I guess I will put in for Peaches first but have no idea about my second choice.. Goose Prairie or Observatory...
Any thoughts???
I hunt with my dad who is 72, he's good for a couple miles in to hunt if I can find good trails or old gated roads so that has to be part of making my choices for permints.
