I know this is a very old thread. However, I am from Texas. I am looking into Hunting Elk in WA next winter. Is there any suggestions any of you can give me to help me secure a permit and a good area to hunt. I have a friend who lives in the Spokane Area. I am looking in that part. I just don't know how all the rules apply. Its just been a dream of mine to take down an elk since I was a kid. I want to take my father there for his retirement trip/party.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I think we will use Muzzleloaders or High powered rifle unless you suggest differently.
