Colockum Cows
« on: April 14, 2014, 10:39:35 AM »
Over 1000 permits for antlerless? Wow that's a lot. I havent hunted up the sense the true spike think, is the herd that good? Or trying to make the bull to cow ratio look better than it is?

I don't understand why they didn't switch it back to cows also during the early general archery hunt.  They gave out a ton of permits for that early hunt last year and I can't imagine that just going to a general hunt would have that big of an impact.  My guess is that when they went to spikes only in the early season it reduced pressure in the area by having some hunters change GMU's and hunt areas open for both.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

If they did that then they couldn't get the increased revenue from the applications for the tags.  :twocents:

One of these days I will remember to put on my revenue generating thinking cap instead of my common sense cap when discussing WDFW policy.

This link isn't to the regs but it is to the news release from today. Explains what they decided on at the meeting last Friday and Saturday.

It was already in the proposal.  I don't have it handy but heavily weighted to MF.  One number I know off hand is that little naches cow permits for MF were proposed to double to 500 from 250.  Zero for archery.  Don't give me that late season malarkey either. ;)
