Subalpine muley and blacktail hunting in the north Cascades is definitely a unique and underrated experience! What I really appreciated is that most of the "outdoorsy" crowd in WA were hikers and salmon anglers - if you hunt big game or fish for regular freshwater fish, you basically get the whole mountain range to yourself. I think in 4 seasons of hunting in the 20-teens I came across maybe 10 other hunters in the field, inclduing at trailheads and stuff. Maybe a few fly anglers over the years? I love MT but jeez these rivers and mountains are crowded up full of doofuses.

Coming back into town on Sundays 100% made it all not worth it, in the end. 6 hours from Stevens Pass to Monroe is just not an acceptable way to live.

Uhh, the internet and a credit card for ammo.

Is a gun purchase any different in Washington compared to other western states?

Basically the process at least for me in recent years was fill out a bunch of paperwork, pass a background check and wait a couple weeks. Starting May 2027 there’s going to be a permit to purchase. I don’t know all the details of that new process yet to be honest.
