I don't understand why many government agencies discourage the publics use of herbicides and pesticides on our lawns and gardens to protect salmon and Puget Sound water quality but approve the use of much stronger chemicals in the headwaters.
So we should just poison the forests and let them die. Nice! You've made your viewpoint perfectly clear, Idaho. You've made it very clear which side of the issue you support.
FYI even the conservite party is getting on board looking at what's going on.As a matter of FACT Don Benton gave me a letter that I gave to the FPB yesterday also gave a COPY to WDFW and THE GOVENOR
No liberal environmentalist here just a very successful hunter,that's NOT against logging but concerned about toxins being spayed.I would love to take you to my propertys,and show you how timber grows just fine without the chemicals.Ive seen the demise of the states elk herd, with the current practice of if a littles good a lot is better.Get a clue about what's going on and quit surfing trying to antagonize the public,that's trying to raise awareness of the ineptness of the people in charge.If it wasn't for us raising the concern at the WDFW commission meeting in Moses Lake three years ago, they would have done NOTHING.Whats your contribution to the problem,besides over selling tags in the state? That's only added to the problem by running the elk to death, from September 31 until January 31.It used to be elk was done in the second week of November and then 4 days of late buck and HUNTERS were out of the woods.We need common sense seasons not a bunch of STATE employees trying to get retired doing as little as possible.Im for live animal testing to see what going on here.Remember they have only put 54,000 dollars, in to the BIGGEST WILDLIFE problem the states ever had.whats your suggestion I've heard lots of criticism no solution LETS HEAR IT. EAT THE SANDWITCH

EAT THE SANDWITCH So you want to end herbicide use, end hunting seasons because they are too long, end government employment...did I miss anything?Despite your attempts at spreading vasts amounts of misinformation WDFW is on a solid path to handling this disease as best they can while trying to better understand causes and effects on wild elk populations. My solution is to support their efforts and provide rationale feedback on ways they can improve. Your solution seems to be one where you paint yourself as some sort of savior of elk while personally attacking anyone who does not share your view of the problem or potential solutions. It all revolves around you trying to get your 15 minutes of fame. WDFW has 15 independent experts providing guidance on a very complex problem and you do nothing but confuse the public with your lies and misinformation which causes WDFW to have to spend time and money dealing with your garbage. Holding their feet to the fire is one thing...what you are doing is counter-productive and damaging to the states wildlife resources. I could care less how many popularity contests you might win in various settings, the fact is you are a detriment to solving this problem. You are a disgrace to how sportsmen should interact with state wildlife agencies and your total lack of respect for everyone that doesn't share your view point must make it hard for anyone with any real authority to take you seriously.

Belittling the P-man isn't helping your viewpoint, you tried that with me on the wolf section and it didn't work there either. I don't know about everyone else, but I grow tired of how you look down your nose and belittle your fellow hunters when they don't carry your water.
Its obvious that it wouldn't matter what evidence or studies were done. They would not satisfy Idahohunter or WDFW. As long as they can discredit opponents of their agenda they will continue to spew lies.
