extend season?

[T-Bone]

The WDFW is seeking public comment on seasons. I sent them an Email requesting a return to the closure of the E. WA pheasant season on the MLK Monday Holiday. In E. WA., I think the different closing dates for pheasant, quail, Huns and chukar are confusing and serve no real biological purpose.

In bad weather years, I would be concerned with extending the season any longer and putting undue pressure on birds who may have a hard time making it through the winter as it is.   We need to be more considerate of the resource, not less.

We used to have a place we would limit out everyday on pheasant in the late season.  Wild roosters are hard to find, but when you found them you were in them and could usually shoot your limit standing in the same place.  Now that place is closed down and you cant hunt it.  Sad but the reason they are hard to find in the late season is they go where there is no pressure.
