What to expect?: Expect to pay too much money for hunting an animal that the state doesn't manage. The fee is a usage tax and does not contribute to improving the herd, nor their habitat. (IMHO) I digress.....
Go to Walmart or any sporting goods store. Tell them you want a Modern Firearm (MF) Deer Tag. Show your hunter education card if necessary, which may not be necessary. Once it is on file in the computer system, you're good for the rest of your life, so if the Hunter Ed. people registered you with the state, then you're in the database. All that is left to do is pay the fee which covers you for the entire state. Once you figure out where in the state you want to hunt, check the regs for the dates that you can hunt during the MF season for the GMU you chose. On the Westside, the dates for Blacktail Deer are generally all the same, with a couple minor exceptions. Carry the transport tag with you whenever you hunt, and attach it to a kill as you take possession of it, prior to dragging it out or field dressing the animal.
