TUK,
Our house is all tore apart with some remodeling being done so I'm not sure where my regs are.

But, I don't think you are missing anything. This is only my second year big gamehunting in WA. But the way I understand it is there is no general season. A unit might be open early or late, or both, just have to look at the book. If you want to hunt the late hunt, you have to look at a different area.

That is the way it works for me. There is only one area open in the late hunt and it really isn't where I want to hunt.
