Sorry for not knowing and for not getting it up sooner. Not your fault at all Dale, nor did I mean to come off that way. I appreciate you posting as soon as you found out. My beef is with the WDFW did this. I was also a part in the pilot program and was fortunate to draw several times. My name/Wild ID is also on the list. Maybe they did put me in the drawing without me knowing, but if they did, you surely would have figured they would have let you know through email or by phone. I just hope several hounders were actually drawn and they take care of this over population problem. I will bitch to the extreme if I ever find out that any "hugger" was drawn to take a slot away from somebody deserving!

All valid questions, phool. Seems to be a lot in the "gray" with this issue as with most WDFW issues.

LMAO True! I feel deeply sorry for every WDFW enforcement officer that has to constantly "try " to enforce many of these thoughtless new rule changes and pilot programs that "upper management" decides on, and repeatedly hear the criticism from the public as they're always the easy targets to point the finger at.
I saw that yesterday, mule. I was wondering how they were going to do the "draw" for those with hounds.......
Tell them to save there gas trust me!!
