Are they going to notify WDFW so they can add it to the list of corrections for this years book?

If not, could be a potential headache for someone otherwise until or if it got straightened out.
Yes, USFS is following up with WDFW>

I missed the part about the leases how long are the leases going to be good for? If a group leases one of the areas will they be guaranteed to keep it as long as they pay the same price year after year or will each area go up for re-bid every year?

We've lost 50% of the elk herd in the past three years, spraying continues and we have another 440 cow tags offered between Winston, Toutle and Margaret in 2014 plus early and late archery season.  So there probably won't be any elk left, if there is even a season, there next year :(  But to answer your question I do not know for sure.  The way I read the information online it sounds as though it will go up for auction each year.

They will want to put each lease back up for bids every year so they can get the highest possible price. Of course if there are no elk left, the price will most likely go down. Hmm...  Maybe they'd be better off doing the leases for three years, or five, that way they can get people locked in to a lease with nothing but sick elk, or no elk at all.

Could be a good thing if they raise enough money on the leases.  Might make them think twice about spraying every creature on earth with poison.

Sorry, I had to laugh when I was typing that one too :chuckle:  In my best Judy Tenuta voice, "Yeah, that could happen!"

My family's unsprayed clear cut is surrounded by a Weyco lease.  Wonder where those elk go to eat.
