Slee, here in eastern Wa. they do have a 3 pnt min. for all mule deer, and I know in my area the enforce it. Also Starting Dec. 1st there will be cougar hunting with the use of hounds under a new program that the state and local authorities have worked out. Tags will be on a drawing basis. This hunt will run till March and is for the northeastern part of the state, check the WDFW web site for details. The reason for the hunt is because, at least here the WDFW does feel there are too many cats.
