They're also moving the baiting discussion to tomorrow when there will be 9 commissioners. There are only 8 today.

Thrilla in Manila??  Any knock-downs?

Whats the word on moving Margret into general season and losing the monument area to Loowit?

For general archery?

Were the Deer and Elk seasons approved?

The elk seasons were. But the deer is put off until tomorrow due to the tie vote, which is because the 4 point minimum for GMU's 117 & 121 was included in that.

There's no doubt everything they had proposed in regards to the general and special permit deer seasons will be approved.

It's just the 4 point rule that could go either way.

I believe commissioner Jay Kehne of Omak will be the one to break the tie vote tomorrow morning. Does anyone have an opinion on how he might vote?

I wasn't planning on attending the meeting tomorrow, but now I have to.  :bash:

Curious how the vote will turn out on the baiting issue.

That one's even more complicated because there are 4 options instead of just 2.

Well its a hard call but Id like to think anyone who hails from conservation northwest would be dead set AGAINST letting people kill baby deer ie 18 month old and younger bucks with their milk teeth.  I mean c'mon guys.....do you really want to hunt any buck where the majority of whitetails killed are nothing more than 18 month old four points ????  These young 4Xs are still with the does.......sure as heck aint hunting.

I had that thought as well, but also thought he might be against "trophy hunting," which means he would vote for going back to "any buck."

I live right smack in the middle of it in 121 and you cant find a single person here who doesnt notice the improvement, and wouldnt like to see it continue.  Its wdfw that has their minds made up and have for some time now.....they want it gone.  Same for baiting.  All for no good reasons.  People here are not happy.   :twocents:

It sounds like they're recommending doing away with the restriction in order to increase opportunity, and the justification is that the surrounding units that don't have the 4 point minimum restriction, are showing the same improvement in buck numbers, overall deer numbers, and fawn recruitment. Seems reasonable to me, but I don't hunt there so I really don't care which way it goes.
