who has hunted in washington state

im new to washington state and would like to now what units are great for elk hunting i was thinking of the tranaway unit in eastern washington or the 500s units

Try the unit to the east. I think it's called Idaho. lol

Suggest you call the regions fish and game dept or DNR.

Here's a thread with a guy that knows a lot about western Washington. He is real tight with MP. :)

Other than guided Roosy hunts, you never hear about WA being listed in the conversation with other elk states. It's unfortunate because the state's size and elk population have a lot of potential, but the management practices and the ridiculous rule of having to buy a general tag before you can enter the elk draw (even for NRs) really takes it off the counter.

WA's sheep/moose/goat app fees make MT's new application/BP fees look like chump change.

And you can no longer apply online for their raffles.

WA is missing out on a lot of NR money.

No, they're not. They have enough demand from resident hunters and a more limited amount of resource than you think.

Guys are waiting 5-15 years for a branched antler elk permit right now. Why would they want more competition and a longer wait?

If you want raffle tickets, mail me a check and I'll mail you tickets.
