Tons of info on the net. I'm with ya on hunting elk in Wa. I put in for special permits, but also put in for elk in Oregon, Wyoming, and a few others. I manage to draw a decent tag about every 3 years. There are late season cow tags to be had if you just want meat. Not to many folks want to travel for cows, but I like elk meat, and plan on doing a cow hunt out of state this Dec.
