It's fairly fresh news. I have not heard a peep and the best way to get information may or may not be to call WDFW. My guess is that it might take them a while to put in the pieces and communicate how this is going to be carried out; e.g. next year?

I've also seen a lot of hunters in the field who shouldn't be trusted with a slingshot . As far as someone losing there hunting privileges this seems very slim to me. Your right it's a good idea for some, but a bad idea for most.

WHat do you mean about the defferal fee? I believe most Hunters Ed classes are free! I do believe some do charge but that is only up to the certain class. We do not charge for our classes but we do accept donations that we use towards misc. supplies and covering venue rents. etc. etc.

I am still not sure how I feel about this bill. My knee jerk reaction is that its bad for safety! but I do believe it will be good to get more involved. If there was some way they could have done it a bit opposite, like offer first time license buyers that have successfully completed their hunter safety course a half price license or something to that tune. Some kind of break but not jeopordizing safety. Just kinda thinking outloud............

Fletch:
I feel the same way as Otto1, Im a little worried about the safety implications...hunter ed deferral for an adult is a little different than one for a youth.  Get them through a class and then give them a price break...or limit the deferral to over 18...maybe that is what the law says I havent read the whole thing...just my .02
