ThAnks thinking I'm going to do something different this year after 30 years of bow hunting

Based on the proposed regulations, definitely the 4th thru the 10th.

You will be in for a shock when you see how few units are open.

[MarkyMark]

Yes. Disappointing.

What units are not going to be opened this year? Or where can I find out? I havent seen the new regulations anywhere yet.

All the same units are open this year as last year (as far as I know).

It's just that muzzleloader season has always had the fewest units open, but there are also less muzzleloader hunters than archery or modern.

  the draws are bad also.  they don't even have a draw for 65+ elk.  I might go elk modern.  then I see where all the master tags go and get angered.   mike w

As bad as I shot today at the range w my muzzy, I might have to go with modern this year!! Couldn't even hit the target at 200 yards. Had in the past, not sure what's up. Probably just me.

Wow, are they trying to get rid of half the herd around yakima? That's so many more cow tags!

Sure doesnt seem like fewer rifle and archery hunters. Pretty crowded anymore.
