WDFW seeks comments, schedules meetings
on 2015-17 hunting season proposals
OLYMPIA – The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is seeking comments on proposed alternatives for 2015-17 hunting seasons, and has scheduled several meetings this month to discuss the proposals with the public.
The alternatives will be posted by Aug. 18 on WDFW’s website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations/seasonsetting/ , where people can also provide comments. The Game Management Plan and scoping criteria for the 2015-17 season-setting process is available on the website as well.
WDFW is accepting comments on the alternatives through Sept. 20.
The department has also scheduled a series of public meetings in August to discuss the alternatives. The meetings will run from 7-9 p.m. and are scheduled for:
Aug. 19 – Spokane: Centerplace Regional Events Center, 2426 N Discovery Place, Spokane Valley, Great Room.
Aug. 20 – Moses Lake: Big Bend Community College ATEC Building, 7611 Bolling St. NE, Moses Lake, Masto Conference Center.
Aug. 21 – Ellensburg: CWU Campus 400 E University Way, Ellensburg, Wellington’s Event Center.
Aug. 26 – Everett: Holiday Inn Downtown, 3105 Pine St., Everett, Everett Ball Room 2.
Aug. 27 – Tacoma: Pacific Grill Event Center, 1530 Pacific Ave., Tacoma, Chinook/Klickitat Conference Room.
Aug. 28 – Vancouver: Heathman Lodge, 7801 NE Greenwood Dr., Vancouver, Pacific Ballroom.
Issues currently under consideration by the department for upcoming seasons include:
Setting spring and fall black bear seasons.
Early archery elk seasons.
Modern firearm mule deer seasons.
Hunting equipment, including non-toxic ammunition, expandable broadheads and crossbows.
Special permit drawings.
Baiting big game.
Dave Ware, WDFW game program manager, said comments received from the public will be used to develop specific recommendations for 2015-17 hunting seasons, which will be available for further review in January.
Final recommendations will be presented to the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission for adoption next spring.

It is better to be consistently incorrect than inconsistently correct...

Sarcasm: The ability to insult stupid people without them realizing it. 

My level of sarcasm depends on your level of stupidity...

Sarcasm makes smart people laugh and stupid people mad.

I wish wa would set the dates and leave them the same every year.  I don't get why they think it always has to start on Saturdays with most hunts?

They have the opening dates on Saturday because that's what most people want.

If they start it on the 8th every year, there are still two weekends of hunting just like there are now (for elk). Elk does not start on weekends now...

They open early archery elk the day after Labor day to not conflict with labor day campers. September 8-21 accomplishes this and you still get two weekends to hunt.
