9/23/17 Hunting and Fishing Day in Washington

Trappers are mentioned in the Proclamation.

So many negative comments.  Give the governor his due: He signed the proclamation, and I think that's wonderful.  Does it mean anything at all?  Not sure, but it is nice to see this.

Agreed.  It means something, let's not complain about it.

Yes trappers are mentioned  in the write-up but did Gov. Inslee declare that September 23 is Hunting, Fishing and Trapping Day? Nope. The PC crowd would freak.  Nor was it done on a national level. When Inslee spends revenues not from hunters, fishermen and trappers to advertise and thank us all for our dollars that have done so much for wildlife in this state then I might say you are welcome Gov. Until that happens it is all about the money. Sponsors on the national level all stand to gain financially. I have no problem with that but lets be honest about what is going on here. Its not about thanking us for our forced support.

It means absolutely nothing... unless it fell on a Monday and we got the day off to hunt and fish.

Maybe next year they can suspend the Pittman-Robertson Wildlife Restoration Act Tax of 10-11 percent on ammo and firearms and the state sales tax of about 10 percent for at least a week.

Or for 1 day we can hunt our number one choice on our special elk hunt application that we didn't draw.
