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.

Is a gun purchase any different in Washington compared to other western states?The image.
Uhh, the internet and a credit card for ammo.

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.

What are the red flowers/bushes in your first picture?

It's always felt fairly easy. Far easier than getting a suppressor. Ammo isn't a big deal, but I don't hoard it either, just get a couple of boxes when I need it.
Vaccinium uliginosum, a variety of huckleberry referred to as bog blueberry

Jesus I thought illinois was bad but then again we can't even have a suppresor here.
You don't have to live in the worst areas of WA to have them control the state. If you like those rules/laws, that's up to you. Some ignore it ... some move ... maybe the rules/laws don't affect them.
Btw, Montana isn't the same since the areas who have a lot of left pollcies aren't a big enough block to control the entire state. Well, at least not yet.

I figured they were some sort of huckleberry. That vibrant red is beautiful.

When they're thick the bears are thick on them. But the last two years have been scarce
