What to Expect in the 2025 Season September, 2025 Washington Department of fish and Wildlife
Harvest remained low in 2024, an expected trend given the large-scale epizootic hemorrhagic disease (EHD). Bluetongue outbreak throughout eastern Washington in 2021. Some GMUs seemed to be hitharder than others, including GMUs 121 and 117 being the hardest hit by the outbreak. However, the 2024/25 winter was mild in the valley bottoms, and over-winter survival was likely high. Therefore, if no large-scale disease outbreaks occur prior to the hunting seasons in 2025, we expect the harvest trend to keep slowly increasing and to observe a moderate increase to harvest again this season. In 2025, hunters of any user group or weapon type will not be able to harvest a doe. This regulation change was enacted in 2019 to protect the reproductive component of the population.
