Washington Hunters...Multiple season permits.....
what do you think of thier latest attempt to get MORE money from us with another permit drawing fee of $5.48 , and then another $164..25 if you get drawn If they're after money....they should SKIP the drawing and make it available to everyone!!!Got my mailer on it yesterday, must be applied for by April 9.
Other than that I see only about $20 worth of expanded opportunity to still kill only one animal. Hopefully we are smart enough to pass on this one.

Received that same reminder. For a quick moment I thought it fell out of the funnies. After reading I just laughed and put it in the garbage.

I threw mine away as well. Our Dept. of Fish & Wildlife is a joke. They'll do anything for money. Just another way to make some money is how I see it. I sure hope no one falls into thisscheme so that the DFWwill just not even try it next year.

RE: Washington Hunters...Multiple season permits.....
I would apply for it if I had the money. I would love to be able to hunt both the muzzleloader and rifle elk seasons. For those of you who think it's a bad idea, don't blame the Fish & Wildlife Dept. They are simply trying to give hunters what they want. This is one of the things people keep asking for...the option of hunting all the seasons like they used to do. Problem is they just can't do that anymore because there is too many people. So they sort of compromised, with this permit. There are only 1500 for deer, and 500 for elk. And sure the cost is a little high, but if you think of the cost of gas, and non-resident deer and elk tags, if you choose to go out of state, $165 really isn't that much. Just think, you could hunt elk for 2 weeks in Sept. with a bow, then a week in early Oct. with muzzleloader, a week or two with rifle in Oct/Nov, and finally 2 or 3 more weeks in Nov/Dec with a bow or muzzleloader, depending on the unit you want to hunt. I think $165 is a bargain for all that hunting time.
