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.

I broke down and bought a DP this year to take the family on a couple of outings to the parks so i got the quiz... Nothing mind blowing in it IMO.

Only the legislature can authorize hunting in State Parks...

I do the opposite, now.  I had to get the DP for DNR land, so on my way by I usually stop at the state park to use the facilities.

And last session there were a few proposals that looked at this via Brian Blake.  A strong survey result asking for hunting or a pilot program could move the needle.

Yep, Ike Kinswa on Mayfield Lake.  Had a nice day boating and fishing, a couple of tasty trout were had for dinner. Better to go out of IK than the county park on the other side of the lake with all the jet skis.

  Had to get a Discover Pass earlier this year when we visited the North Head lighthouse down by Ilwaco. Great Grandpa was a keeper there, so was looking at a bit of family history.
There is no greater respect to have for wildlife than to harvest an animal fairly and use it's flesh to feed your family.  ~me

I know that. I am just saying that allowing hunting in parks will be a longer process then say putting more picnic tables at Sun Lakes.

Age has taught me to pick my battles. With all the other issues that hunters could tackle politically, this just isn't a good one. Anti-hunters would love to open this one up for "debate". They would post pictures of dead bambi's laying in a campground and then some hunter in full camo gutting bambi out in front of the kids.
Just not worth the PR battle.
