Washington Deer+Elk License 2022 purchase? confused

Postby huzkers89 » 12 22, 2021 •  [Post 1]

Anyone got insight on the Washington State - Deer + Elk License
License Year 2022 (Valid April 1, 2022 – March 31, 2023) $739.00 (non-resident)


Is this an Application or an actual OTC License?

I know you have to select East or West and specify weapon (which would be archery) but it looks like you can purchase this now so I'm a little confused, having never hunted Washington.

thanks for any insight or thoughts

.. confused.

Are the OTC tags worth it?
Some places like Idaho you gotta have horses and/or outfitters to get in to locations or just be a serious backpacker/camper in.. thanks again.

Id say, for the most part, its not worth non resident prices to hunt deer and elk here. Our game management sucks. However our bear hunting is fantastic and i would certainly recommend that to non residents. I believe it would cost a non res $222 to hunt bear here. Our season opens august 1st, were crawling with bears, and you can buy two tags if you want.

I would agree with wawhitey. Our deer and elk hunting is OK, but not great or even good by most Western states standards. Our bear hunting is phenomenal though.
