50 $*)Q!#@$ percent. Which is why I don't archery hunt anymore. It started as zero percent, then the last 3 elk weren't recovered and I stopped. It might be ethical for some people, but not for me.
WA allows every to elk hunt every year regardless of who you are or where you live.
If you value hunting over harvest, the experience over the result, then no, it's serving it very well. If they managed for success you'd be lucky to draw more than 2-3 elk tags in your life.
I can see where...
Look at how they manage now. It's almost the complete opposite of every other Western state. They promote the ability of everyone to go hunting every year, while significantly hampering the likelihood of success. There's no way we could handle the current resident pressure under anything that...
Wait, did you have to apply for that general tag or do all NRs get the same opportunity as every R to buy a tag OTC every year to hunt elk in WA? F if that doesn't sounds pretty damn democratic.
It actually holds a lot of water, but arguing with an attorney is futile, I've never met one that wasn't convinced they were right about everything under the sun. Though it begs a reminder that 50% of all attorneys are wrong in every situation.
You haven't read many accounts from outfitters? I...
I don't know, but most of what I've seen is that NR were more.
That is clearly the case now, but I've never read anything that articulates that perspective historically, though it could be true. In general, from what I've read, which I'll admit, is rather limited, regulations used to be less...
Idaho did not start limiting the number of non-resident hunters for deer and elk until 1972.

So it's not about who's the best at something, but who's the best while selfishly ignoring their family to pursue their own aspirations? Got it

I've been off the ME bandwagon for a long time now. But I have to admit that Renella, when he's not trying to line his pockets by exploiting a public resource, is a very eloquent speaker for the hunting...
But it happens every year. Every. Single. Year. there is a temperature barrier that sets up at the mouth of the Okanogan. The current water temperature of the Okanogan river is trending almost perfectly with the 20 year the MEAN, the period over which these giant leaps and gains have occurred...
That article is pretty misleading. Yes there is an issue on the Okanogan, which could partially be solved by removing the Eolan dam, but it's also just the nature of the beast, the geograph (and geology) that created prime habitat for sockeye, these large inland lakes connected to low gradient...
