Wildlife (WDFW), also authorized the department to purchase 1,275 acres in Chelan County's Stemilt Basin to protect critical wildlife habitat.

And this is exactly where they should put every wolf behind a High Fence and let them eat each other.

On the positive side of things.
I'm throwing my Traditions northwest POS in the garbage and I'm going to go get a new muzzle loader.
I couldn't be happier about the change.  :IBCOOL:
Let me know when and where you plan on doing that and I'll come save that said "POS" from the depths of a landfill.

Ok has anyone looked to see if the proposals that the WDFW wanted comments on changed any? Looks to me like that comment period was a waste of time again

Comments from the public certainly had an effect on the early archery season in region 3. The proposal was to eliminate antlerless elk from that season, but due to feedback from hunters they are allowing antlerless elk hunting for 6 days of the 13 day season. That's the only change in the proposals that I'm aware of.

You don't want it. The firing pin is sticking on it. I sent it back to Traditions and they fixed it. It's doing it again. Pretty dangerous with it being a muzzle break.
Lead em if they're running.

Always used musket caps, would a 209 conversion be worthwhile on the ol bighorn?

Yeah that?? What are the benefits of a 209 primer? I’ve never used one.

I have shot both musket caps and 209s with my Bighorn.  There is no difference ballisticly.

So a citizen commission appointed by Inslee thus likely very liberal decides how wdfw should set policy??  Mining is regulated a lot already yet more coming to help the fish?  Really?  Land buys with precious resources to help spotted owls and wolves?  Really?  No surpise but I am surprised this thread seems to focus on how BOOM our muskets go?  Missing something here? :dunno:
MAGA!  Again..

I don't think it's fair to characterize every commissioner  in that way. There are some that really hug the bunnies, and those that lean tword  more restrictive conservation. It would appear that there are at least a couple that are sportsmen advocates, and some that are like warm.

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 don't know who they are so could be I am totally wrong.  I assume liberalism conservation.  But if this is the summary of work from commission when we all know of huge issues not addressed then I am disappointed again.
