Bump'un and Nile Muzzy hunters
« on: January 30, 2013, 06:05:08 AM »
WDFW is proposing changes to the harvest opportunities for Arrow throwers in the Bump'un and Nile.

http://wdfw.wa.gov/about/regulations/2013/wsr_13-03-152.pdf

To surmise, currently arrow throwers can harvest Spikes only (in the Bump'un and Nile) and draw fer 50 antlerless tags in each unit.
Proposed change is:
Allow Arrow throwers to harvest either a Spike or Antlerless.   :yike:  :bdid: for us.
 
This will increase the antlerless harvest tremendously in both Units thus decrease'un we Coal burners who are lucky enough to get a cow tag.
 
If'un the Game biologist feel there are too many cows in these 2 units and want to thin'um out, ........ wouldn't it be fair to all types of hunters to increase tags fer everyone instead of allow'un the Arrow throwers all da glory?

So it's just going back to what it was 4 years ago? I think it's probably a good thing. This should help to distribute the archery hunters a little more evenly.

The WDFW is probably thinking we might as well harvest some cows, if not, the Yakamas will kill them anyway.

Archers got railroaded out of Goose Prairie four years ago and this change really just restores our lost opportunity.  :tup: Bout time!

I hope that they dont open it back up for antlerless general hunt. Its one of the few units a guy can draw a bull tag in and not have hoards of people running all over the place. :twocents:

The little Naches will no longer have a general season, and we will be back to hunting the bumping and Nile for cows and spike.

You're right! I hadn't noticed that. No general archery season in 346!

Big change there, this will create some controversy.

Guys grumbled last time when they opened 346 so I am sure some will grumble when they close it and make it permit only again.

People will always complain no matter what the changes are. The WDFW has an impossible job of trying to make everyone happy.

The only thing that we can count on from year to year is that nothing ever stays the same. And that is true with all things in life.

Im starting to lobby tbe commission on equanamity between ml and ar. Compared to ml, ar is much more liberal and generous across the state. When i started ml we had an 11 day season and much more opps for antlerless and more gmus. Now were down to 7 days and spike onlys, while ar sits on a 15 day season and 3 pt or antlerless in numerous elk rich units denied to ml. This disparity in opps  to me is no longer tolerable or justified.  When ar's now brag about harvesting animals at 70yds and are taking shots out to 100 well, its obvious that the technology has now reached a par with ml. My proposals will be to restrict ar to the same lenght of hunts as ml and to give ml the exact same gmus and harvest opps as current ar seasons. My proposals will also involve shortening the mod season to a 7 day hunt only. We ml pay the same money and we are now demanding the same opportunities.

I don't understand the strife between certain groups of hunters. The way I see it, is if you don't care for the muzzleloader seasons, or it just doesn't synch with your schedule one year, then buy an archery tag or a modern tag.

Just because you own a muzzleloader doesn't mean you have to hunt with it every year. If you just don't like the short season, but still want to use your muzzleloader, you also have the option of hunting modern season with your muzzleloader.
