Directs the commission to establish an annual big game special hunting season, as defined in RCW 77.32.007, which shall be known as the "active duty special hunt." The commission shall grant permits for the hunt only to individuals who can demonstrate absence from the most recent big game hunting seasons for deer or elk due to active duty in the United States armed forces, national guard, or the reserves.

Provides that the season may be no longer than seven days and is limited to game management units, as that term is defined in chapter 232-28 WAC as existing on the effective date of this act, that provided deer and elk hunting opportunities during the previous general hunting season.
