WA Archers, Time to Speak up!

[Rider]

I totaled up the cost of hunting in Washington and wondering what the hell I am thinking.

I'm in 8th - 21st

8th - 21st done~

Optimus, Yes that was how it was before. then they changes to starting the day after labor day so now most years archers never get a change to come even close to hunting an rutting activity. Even with the 8th - 21st, you only get a few days as things start to light up. I believe WA is losing more archers because of this season as well as the way they have raised the prices on everything. Hunters put in for years trying to get drawn for a special permit when they can just go to another state and hunt elk in the rut and greatly increase their chance at success. If WA wants to keep hunters here in WA like they say they do, they need to make it more attractive to stay. Dates of the 8th - 21st would do that!

I submitted for early elk dates. I requested Sept 8th-21st or 15th-30th.. Will submit a few others ideas for deer/elk

[nw_bowhunter]

Also, submitted for the removal of true spike rule and the one I want to see changed the most is the regulations on arrow weight restrictions.

[Styles]

Also submitted to evaluate early archery hunt dates!

I have put in my input for elk season to run september 8th-21st. I also expressed my opion that we need to stop the doe killing in GMU 407,418 and 437. There are not enough deer to contiune with this practice.

You sound very familiar... :-)

Keep hammering on the early elk season.  Its most likely already going to be on the agenda, as the members of the GMAC from the WSAA and WSB have hammered on the WDFW already... :-)  Oh and both of them are members on here.  ANother thing to hammer on is the Later archery deer opportunity in the 200 and 400 GMU's, its something the Archery Coalition is pushing for.  Right now we are limited to a few GMU's and its very overcrowded, that hurts hunter opportunity and the herds.  The survey helps, but emails, phone calls and showing up at the meetings is VER important also.  See you at the meetings.

8-21 Sept fixed is good, I would also vote for moving it back to Oct, as it was years ago.

[tonymiller7]

I also submitted later archery elk.
