Antlerless Moose more than once?
« on: May 16, 2025, 11:23:37 AM »
Just curious, has anyone drawn the Antlerless Moose permit more than once here in Washington state?

 My daughter drew a couple years ago. At her young age she has a good chance of drawing again at some point.

Odds of drawing once aren't good.

Not good at all, was just curious if we had anyone that beat those odds.

I wonder how many hunters (if any) have killed all the legal big game animals in Washington: deer: whitetail, mule, blacktail; elk: Rocky Mountain and Roosevelt; bighorn sheep, mountain goat, moose, and black bear.

I have been lucky enough to draw and take both Bull Moose and Antlerless here in Washington.

Just need Rocky MT Elk, and Big Horn to complete that list. On a different note, have plenty of Cow Moose points, but not sure if I'll put in for a tag. The low numbers of Moose in the NE corner and high predator population might just keep putting in for points for a few more years and see if they actually do anything about predators.  :twocents:

I am short the goat which isn’t going to happen since I can’t climb a goat mountain anymore. With 27 points I am not applying this year for the first time in that many years. Everybody elses chances just went up for the 7 tags I guess.

Please keep applying, there will be someone that will help get you in there with horses or something. I’m sure with a tag like that plenty of random strangers would be willing to help out.

My son drew the youth antler less tag twice. When he was 11 and again when he was 13. That was back when WDFW gave out 8 tags just for youth.

If I heard of someone who only needed a goat to complete this I’d try to help too. And I don’t even have the time, but I’d want to make it.  That would be fun just listen to the other stories.

Few comments about no antlerless tags.
I agree 100 percent.
But it's also boils down to the ,if you can't beat them ,then join them.

What I mean is...
The department is giving tags out. For whatever reason that is.
Nothing we can do about that, until they wake up and see what has happened to the moose population. Might as well enjoy the tag allocation.

Good luck to all that drawn and antlerless moose.👍

Yes, but I haven't taken a cougar.  I've taken does and bucks of each deer species, cows and bulls of each elk species, ram and ewe sheep, 3 mountain goats (before they were OIL), bull moose, and a couple black bears.  67 now and I'm still putting in for cow moose and goat, but even with max points for cow moose and 1 shy of max for goat (I drew in 96 when they first started the points gig), I'm guessing my luck in the draws may not hold out before my body doesn't....Still hopeful though....I did draw a Toutle muzzleloader bull permit this year!
