HUNTING -- New! "Washington's 2017 Big Game Hunting Seasons & Regulations" pamphlet has been posted on the state Fish and Wildlife Department website.

This makes it easier for hunters to begin planning hunts and applications for special permits. Hunters have until May 24 to apply for Washington's special permits for deer, elk, mountain goat, moose, bighorn sheep and turkey.
