There might be a teeny, tiny, itsy-bitsy  improvement in hunting in the works, partly due to the unfairness of the Discover Pass.  Bill 1346 that opens up some State Park land to hunting passed out of the first committee.  It is changed to instruct the State parks to try a pilot program of allowing hunting in four state parks. One of the arguments pushing State Parks to allow some type of hunting somewhere is that 84% of the DP $ goes to parks when hunters buy one to hunt DNR.

Duck hunting on water out front of a park is not really hunting in a park.

The whole reason for the DP is to fund parks and it is wrong to take funds from hunters to pay for parks. Not really a surprise at the degradation of the Pay to Play philosophy that was in Wa state.

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

The whole discover pass thing is *censored* we already shell out enough money as it is.

I recently noticed a fresh dp required sign on a forest service bulliten board on forest service land, I sure wanted to rip it off.  Fricken scums trying to trick people into buying a discover pass so they can park on forest service land. Ridiculous. You need a b.s. in discover pass in order to understand the reasoning behind it :yike:


I have yet to see Anyone enforcing the discover pass.
Easily over a thousand tickets issued every year.

If mr jones catches ya on the athanum without one, you will be ticketed.

You should of removed it, that's straight up lying to get people to buy the pass, some people just don't know much about our public lands and who runs what and will buy on now they see the bogus sign.   :twocents: 

I caught up with my dues for the last three years last year.  :chuckle:

Will the new ones use UV resistant ink?   I know my current pass that expires in August look like a blank piece of plastic stapled to the yellow mirror hanger.
Cut em!

Which I bet is why they changed them up... hard to distinguish a faded WDFW permit from a DP one...

It's also hard  to distinguish a Discover pass from a WDFW pass, they're both yellow and look exactly the same.

From the article:
Quote
The design, which features a green nature scene background, will help differentiate the pass from the yellow hangtag and paper vehicle access pass issued by the state Department of Fish and Wildlife.
