The first Moose tags.
« on: Today at 10:01:18 AM »
Just curious if there are any folks on here that had one of the early moose tags and from the beginning when Washington started the permit drawing and their stories.
I was fortunate to draw one in 1993. I was 25 years old. In those days you had send in $150.00 with a return refund if not drawn. (Still wish it was that way)
I remember saving aluminum cans to afford the entry fee. Ha!
I drew the Mt Spokane unit. It sure has changed since I drew that tag. I enjoy reading the OIL stories.
My dad was with me (since passed) I had my bull located from scouting and was done at 7:00am opening morning.

Well that sucks!! Was that a Selkirk or Mt Spokane moose? I can’t remember between the two which offered the first tag. Did he at at least get pics? 
It would be cool to see the first moose tag notched in Washington.

I think it was, I believe it was 1 permit and I thought it was 1990. That was a long time ago so my brain might be a bit off.
$5 is a lot of money if you ain't got it
