Let The Methow Herd Destruction Begin

[MtnMuley]

WDFW cancelled their annual round table meeting with us locals here this year.  Reason: Lack of Funding

 Well that's not a complete shock, after all, they have the WAG to allocate a significant amount of resources to now.

Yes, that article made it into the local paper this week and has the whole community talking.  With the dept. being at an all time low with it's patrons, I just hope our wildlife doesn't pay the big price for their idiocracy.

Give them time!! They have to issue the doe tags after the does have been bred and then the hunters can come in and shoot a pregnant doe that still has a yearling hanging off its tit. Then the yearling dies because it hasn't learned to survive a winter. Thus they kill 3 for the price of one.

You might want to study up on your physiology and endocrinology if you think the does are betting bred while they are still lactating.  The young are weaned and functional ruminants prior to the breeding season.

I heard they are already offering tags to anyone who put in for antlerless tags for those units. I'm pretty sure someone on here posted that they received a letter from the game department offering the opportunity.

 Can anyone confirm this?

Confirm I had put in for second deer in area 2016 and got notified 100 extra tags available for those who had put in on the draw.

 Second deer is different than Methow unit specific doe tags they handed out like crack last year.

This could have been what I read.

My daughter got their special letter last year and then drew another doe tag this year. 2nd year hunting for her. Because she got 1 last year they want her to get 1 this year

 There are those of us that apply/buy doe tags every year, just to burn them and allow one more doe to make it through.

Whitetail is only deer we are after not a mule deer. We are not saving the whitetails. I'm tired of seeing so many whitetail mixed in with the mule deer.

  My wife and I both had them last year and this year. We did not go last year when we found out they were killing off so many deer. Probably wont go this year either?
