Well dose t look like Hunter Ed classes will be a option.Received this today. Jan UlijohnWDFW - Hunter Education(360) 902-8112 Mailing AddressPOB 43200Olympia WA 98504-3200 From: Whipple, David A (DFW) Sent: Friday, November 9, 2018 3:16 PMTo: Ulijohn, Jan (DFW) <Jan.Ulijohn@dfw.wa.gov>Subject: Initiative 1639 Dear Hunter Education Instructors, You likely know Initiative 1639 was approved by the majority of Washington voters during the recent election. You also likely have questions about WDFW’s perspective on whether our hunter education curriculum meets the required elements of the firearm safety training program. I want to let you know that, as you might expect, WDFW does not believe the hunter education curriculum meets the initiative’s required training elements. In addition, we will not be actively seeking to modify our curriculum to meet the required training elements in the initiative. Among the reasons not to modify our curriculum to meet the initiative’s requirements, is that has been estimated an average of 260,000 background checks are conducted each year in Washington for the purchase of long guns. It is unknown how many of those purchases would meet the definition of a “semiautomatic assault rifle” under the initiative, and thus require completion of training. However, even if that percentage is very small, and the initiative were to have a significant negative effect on the number of semiautomatic assault rifles purchased, the hunter education program could not accommodate that additional demand. We’ll be discussing this further with the Instructor Advisory Committee at our December 1 meeting. Please help make sure your fellow teaching team instructors receive this information, especially those who do not have access to a computer. I’ll share any other important information in the future via the instructor website. Attached are two documents:· A copy of Initiative 1639· A brief summary of the initiative, which includes an assessment of how the required training relates to the hunter education curriculum. Thank you all for your incredible service to the hunting heritage. I also want to thank our many veterans for serving our country. I wish you all a very Happy Veteran’s Day, and also a Happy Thanksgiving. Sincerely,Dave

Ive said it for years, hunters are our own worst enemy when it comes to gun rights. Im willing to bet theres some old timer that still holds the "you don't need 30 rds to hunt a deer" that had a part in making that decision. I would have accommodated the new law in some way, shape or form just to stick in in the eye of the over reaching government while also adding more hunters to the mix.
