STATEWIDE bear reg proposal 🤞

[Bango skank]

Anxious to hear what the temper of the discussion was at the meeting if anybody knows

[KB88]

Any updates after the meeting?

I haven't heard back from the guy I know that went but looking at the Commission meeting agenda and the summary of the rule change they are not going to vote on whether to adopt the change until June 28 during a conference call meeting.

The commission agenda showed june 14th at 1:40pm was the time they would be discussing the bear regs.  Anybody feel like getting on the wdfw website and watching that part of the video? Im on the ocean on crappy satellite internet, so i cant watch it.

I looked and don’t see minutes or audio yet. Maybe I’m looking in the wrong spot?

Might be a couple days before its posted.  They live stream them, but dont necessarily have the videos uploaded right away.

Well, at least this gives me a date that I can use to tell Little Pathfinder "Stop asking me until after the 28th."  I'm not kidding, he asked me like 5 times this weekend if they changed the rule yet...

They posted the video. 5+ hours of video. Trying to find the bear part, will post back if I do. If someone else finds it please post what time in the video it happens.

Video 1
1:12 - old lady claims increasing bear hunting is without science, then claims people who don’t hunt will fund the dept if informed of wildlife areas and birdwatching. She of course has no “science” to back up her claims.

1:25:30 - a guy drops some science on predator/prey interactions. Study showed lions responsible for 49% of fawn predation.

I have scanned most of it with no real substance on bear hunting, I can’t watch anymore of this nonsense, new respect for members of the commission. 5 hours of incredibly boring, slow procedure filled with people complaining. Ugh 

[HoytHunter24]

Starts at 4 hours 13 minutes.

End 4 hours and 36 minutes.

It sounds like it was just a proposal and asked for comments. No decision to be made yet. Sounded like most support it except for the bear-loving hippie that was there.

Dont understand your "just a proposal" comment.  What do you think the point of a proposal is? They are making the final decision next week, and if approved it goes into effect this season.

Sounds like what H-W moderators have to put up with

Thanks for posting the times.  I am optimistic.  Didn't hear anything that might kill the proposal.  Sounded to me like WDFW "wants" to do it.
