LCW - like you, no way I could get three weeks to hunt. My thinking with these permits (had I been able to apply) was that it would essentially allow me to hunt whenever I found a couple days free - between the three weapon classes, there is bound to be something open at any given time August - December. But if you limit yourself to one weapon class, you have to be able to hunt when that season is open. I hunt rifle deer in north central WA - my season this year is down to 9 days!
