WDFW just can not help themselves but to keep F.... with what works. They screw the bow hunters this year. Not like it is not tough enough to kill an elk with archery equip but now we get shorter seasons and they open the best area for the big bull tags to cow and spike at the same time. Pretty sad. Looks like it is time to go pick up the muzzle loader. Better seasons now for elk and better chances to draw a tag. Sad as I love bow hunting elk.
