WDFW publishes big game hunting seasons and rules errata
OLYMPIA – The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) has made corrections to the 2004-2005 Big Game Hunting Seasons and Rules Pamphlet. Hunters should update their copies of the hunting pamphlet and note any changes that may affect their choices when applying for special permits. The pamphlet went into effect May 15. WDFW will provide additional updates and corrections as needed. Corrections and frequently asked questions are also posted on the WDFW’s website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/ on the Internet. Page 29
Hunt choice 1102 Cheney B is redundant with a general season opportunity during the same time period. There is no reason for hunters to apply when they can hunt general season. Pages 35 to 37

Puyallup Game Management Unit (GMU) 652 should not be listed under late season overlaps. Page 38
