Washington Administrative Code › Title 220 - Fish and Wildlife, Department of › WILDLIFE › Chapter 220-415 - Wildlife-Hunting-Big game › Section 220-415-060 - 2024 Elk special permits

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
It is unlawful to fail to comply with the bag, possession,
				  and season limits described below. A violation of this section is punishable
				  under RCW  77.15.410 Unlawful hunting of big game-Penalty.
Special Elk Permit Hunting Seasons (Open to Permit
				  Holders Only)
Hunters must purchase an elk hunting license prior to
				  purchasing a permit application. Hunters may only apply for permits consistent
				  with the tag required for the hunt choice; however, Multiple Season Permit
				  holders may apply for Eastern or Western Washington archery, muzzle-loader, or
				  modern firearm permit hunts. Applicants must have purchased the proper tag for
				  these hunts. The elk tag prefixes required to apply for each hunt are shown in
				  the following table. Hunters drawn for a special permit hunt must comply with
				  weapon restrictions, dates, and other conditions listed for the hunt. Hunters
				  drawn for a special permit designated
"Any tag"
under the
"Weapon/Tag"
restriction must use equipment consistent with the
				  requirements of their transport tag and license.
Bag Limit:
One (1) elk per hunter during the
				  license year except where otherwise permitted by department rule, even if
				  permits are drawn for more than one elk hunt category. Any combination of
				  seasons, tags, and permits set by the department will not exceed a maximum of
				  two (2) elk per hunter during the license year.
