I can tell you right now that where I live WDF$Wolves have bought up many of the old ranches, plenty of WDFW and federal land to hunt on but wolves and cougars etc. have limited hunting in a huge way, ask any of the locals that get out and they will tell you what little deer are left, is in their backyard.
I spent a good part of last week cutting firewood on the N. and South summit, never saw one deer in all the country I drove through. I did talk to two different muzzleloader hunters, one said he saw one huge wolf and the other said he saw 8 possibly 9 wolves.
Access don't mean chit if there is no game in the country you are trying access. Probably nice for the bird watchers.
Maybe we should get into WDFW poisoning lakes that were once the best fishing around, now, Not so Much.
Some of the Fake environmental folks have infiltrated most of WDFW and we are seeing the results, management for non-consumption-no hunting in WA is the future goal.
