Washington deer seasons, 2026-27

Washington’s 2026-27 deer seasons run September 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026, and what is open on a given day depends on the game management unit your stand is in. Drop a pin above and this app reads the game management unit off it, then answers the rest from there — the dates, the legal arms, the bag limits and the shooting hours, transcribed page by page from the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife digest. It is a planning aid, not the law: check the digest before you hunt.
