WDFW’s Eastern Region (100 Series GMUs)

you are required to test for chronic wasting disease

A reminder that if you harvest or salvage a deer, elk, or moose in WDFW’s Eastern Region (100 series GMUs) you are required to have it tested for chronic wasting disease. A common question we get about CWD is how long will it take to get test results back? Results can be found by entering your WILD ID or Salvage Permit ID in the test results lookup tool. Samples take on average 4-6 weeks to be shipped to a lab, tested, and receive results. If your animal tests positive for CWD, WDFW will notify you and help dispose of any meat you do not wish to consume.
We’ve also been asked if meat processors will be notified if your harvested animal tests positive. No, under WDFW rules, the hunter is responsible for CWD test results, and there is no automatic notification to meat processors. Ideally, hunters are advised to wait for a negative test result before processing meat if possible.
There is extensive information and answers to many more CWD questions on WDFW’s website at wdfw.wa.gov/cwd.

Highlights Of Our History

Celebrating Over 100 Years Of Work

Organized in 1919 by a few individuals who liked to hunt and fish, the Kittitas County Field & Stream Club worked for effective habitat preservation and wildlife management. In the early years, we held bird dog trials, sent delegates to the Game Commission, hosted wildlife meetings and were active in state and national wildlife groups. In 1946, the Club incorporated and elected to concentrate efforts within Kittitas County. Today, the Club is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization promoting effective conservation and good sportsmanship, supporting education to prevent pollution, and working to improve and increase outdoor recreation opportunities, especially hunting and fishing. Find us on Facebook and Instagram and check out our calendar for what’s happening today.

Education

Education

Some of the ways we educate is through teaching classes for K.E.E.N. and 5th Grade Camp for the Ellensburg School District. We also offer hunter education courses that go over firearms and outdoor safety, wildlife management, and hunter responsibility.

Conservation

Conservation

Club members work year-round to preserve and improve recreational opportunities throughout Kittitas County. We believe that recreation and conservation are inextricably linked. After all, without land and wildlife, their is no outdoor recreation!

Recreation

Recreation

Kittitas Field and Stream Club is for everyone interested in the outdoors: hunters, anglers, hikers, rafters, horse riders, RVers, snowshoers, and birders. We are all about improving the Kittitas County outdoor lifestyle in all seasons.

Hunter Education

Anyone born after January 1, 1972, must pass a WDFW Hunter Education course to hunt in Washington State. All of our instructors are certified by WDFW. Each class has four evenings of classroom instruction (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday) & Range Day is approximately 4 hours long on Saturday. Students must attend each class. On Range day, your Field Skills Evaluation includes a trail walk, shooting a shotgun & .243 rifle, and reciting the 10 Firearm Safety Rules. It is all right to bring food & drinks to class.
