My 2c is find out what and where it is legal, and what oppurtunities you will have to use it. No reason to have it but taking it anyway could be frowned upon.
Also i thought WA you need a permit if from a different state?

Bush turkeys?
When I was up there the blackfella's called the bustard a "bush turkey", but they're protected, or were back in the '90's.
Biggest feral problem where I was was donkey herds. The were culling them by helicopter back then.

I think all animals are protected. Even non-natives need to be declared feral or given pest status before we can shoot them.
