It was a vote, 5 for the status quo and 4 against. They will be looking at the baiting issue again, they just decided they're not quite ready yet. They talked about researching the baiting laws in other western states to determine what might work and what might not work. It does sound like the main concern is outfitters who put out extremely large amounts of bait. One commissioner commented that perhaps they could look into regulating outfitters in some way.

What alternative did the 4 vote for?

They didn't. It was 5 for status quo and that was the end of it.

Its funny to me that only people who hunt like mtnmuley or buckfvr are actual hunters.

Why should hunters band together, improve harvest opertunies, improve access, etc when its so easy to stand on a soap box judge the rule makers and everyone else?

Really? Apparently you are too narrow minded to see what's going on. The antler restriction has benefited the herd, so why change it?

I see whats going on. The antler restriction was meant to provide a boost in whitetail numbers, which it did, and now that boost has run its course so WDFW is removing the restriction.

People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

We still have considerably less deer than we had prior to the back to back bad winters of 2007 and 08.........We will always remain 1 bad winter away from square one.

No one is looking ahead at what a major herd changing event will mean to this area.  You think 4pt was bad..................

We have extreme predator problems, and now everyone who comes here gets to kill a baby deer.......wonderful.  There is no surplus here.....if anything, we are nearing balance.  If you believe wdfw, you will believe anything.

The State has an extreme predator problem!!!! And it's not only Bears, Cats or Wolves but unregulated hunting and poaching by humans as well   :twocents:

Yes. That wasn't really up for debate.

How's about you start another thread. This thread is for updates coming from the meeting, not debate. I'm not against having the debate, it's just making this thread bounce all over the place!!
