Pro-Hunting Petition to The State Government. Sign here!

[Wahotaho]

Ever since initiative 665 was passed in 1996 banning the aid of dogs while hunting cougars, bears, coyotes and bobcats wildlife officials, landowners and hunters say that we’re dealing with the consequences.

All of these animals have been known to attack humans and livestock, and until 1996 there have been very few dangerous incidents from cougars, bears, coyotes and bobcats.  Since then, dangerous incidents have more than doubled.

The reason that hunters like to use dogs to hunt these animals is because they are all very ellusive and hard to find. Ever since initiative 665 there has been a very steep decline in the harvests of cougars, bears, bobcats and coyotes.

This petition requests that initiative 665 be repealed so that all of us can feel safer in the Evergreen State.

This guy just doesn't get it. A one sentence letter to your political rep will get no where

              not tryin to be a grammar nazi, but if this is being sent into government officials, lets fix a couple things.     1:  elusive, not illusive.    2: "and hard to find" not "and hard find"     3: (and im not positive about this one) Evergreen State , not Ever Green State

also, in addition to dogs, why not speak up about bringing back bear baiting?  very few people have bear dogs, but your average hunter can easily lure them with bait which would result in more of a harvest increase than hound hunting

                 at least hes taking some initiative and sending a letter.  better than just whining on a forum in my eyes

One should tread lightly on this topic. Very slowly the WDFW has been allowing some hound hunting( at least for cougars). We will probably never get back to where we were, but the last thing we want to do is alert King County and have the uneducated city dwellers put us back to square one. It may best(albeit slow) to petition WDFW and continue the back door effort vice involving the legislature.
