It is important that archery hunters are well represented at the final Washington Fish & Wildlife Commission meeting of the 2009-2011 Season-setting process. It is this Friday and Saturday, April 3 & 4, 2009, in Olympia. Saturday’s meeting begins at 8:30AM and it is the one at which we’ll learn of the commission’s decisions on the deer seasons and elk seasons. Please use the link below if you wish to read the schedule. I suggest you arrive early and witness the whole meeting because it will be informative from start to finish. The deer and elk are on the agenda for just after lunch, at 1:00, but they could deviate from that if they get ahead of or behind schedule.
http://wdfw.wa.gov/commission/meetings/2009/04/agenda_apr0309.htmlPublic testimony on agenda items is discouraged. The purpose for showing up is not to speak but to sign in so that it appears on the record that archers followed through. It will make a strong and lasting impression on the commission if we back up the tremendous showing in Ellensburg earlier this month by coming out to hear their decisions this weekend. Please, will you make every attempt to be there?
Thank you to all who have been a part of this process. You made a difference in the outcome.
Good hunting,
Dale Sharp, for the Washington Archery Coalition
