I'm completely stoked. I wish it wasn't full of red tape, but allowing a limited (even though complicated) harvest is a good first step.

But there is a written test, shooting test, and a conservation requirement. Here is a link to the AHE (Advanced Hunter Education) Master program: http://wdfw.wa.gov/enf/huntered/ahe_requirements.htm
