Pretty sad when my odds of drawing a non resident new mexico elk tag is higher than my odds of drawing a eastside Washington tag.

In a matter of just the last two or so years the East side elk have been reduced by more than half and its only going to get worse. Hardly any to no calf survival for reasons we can all argue about for days. We had 5 Quality bull tags in 2006 in Dayton and then again I drew the tag this last year with 13 points. The difference between the elk numbers of 2006 and 2019 were night and day. Saw 40-50 cows after hunting a week and a half of hitting it hard hunting the entire unit and not one had a calf with it. Big bulls will just about be totally gone in the Dayton area in 2-6 years from now. Spike hunting will be awful this next year up there with no calf survival last year.
Unable to bait bears, unable to use hounds hunting cats, uncontrolled trophy and meat hunting by natives, poor management by WDFW, and then introduction of wolves that are twice the size of the old native wolves and letting their packs grow to out of control sizes and numbers. This is an equation for disaster for sure! Sad part is that we are nowhere near as bad as it is going to get here in Washington. It is going to continue to get much worse. Top it all off with a liberal majority who could care less about the sportsman/outdoors-man and will completely shut out any kind of real science, game management, and common sense. Not good guys and gals! Not good at all.Back in the 70's, 80's, and 90's you could barely see it all coming. The snowball starts out small but when it gets going it grows at a rapid speed! Just look at the last 10 years! Actually look at the last 5 years!!! BLUE MOUNTAIN ELK HERD CUT IN HALF IN JUST 2 YEARS PEOPLE!!!! NOT A CALF TO BE SEEN!!!! Just wait for CWD to finish it all off! It will be here shortly!When its all over and done the Lib's will tell us all it is because of Global Warming and Climate Change and tell us its our fault! Us evil sportsmen are to blame!

Here’s the directors emailI am not sure he cares what the hunters think. He listens to the fish crowd and the wolf lovers.The fish crowd ? Hope you mean the commercial fish crowd. They have ran the salmon and steelhead into the ground much like the deer, elk, moose Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Never thought about vinegar and beers.......you might be onto something
Didn't know libs was an insult, but as far as I'm concerned, they are insulting as hell trying to take away our freedoms so openly. No disrespect to you at all Karl.

No disrespect to you at all Karl. if course it's an insult. Do you see anyone using "libs" in a positive manner? No. No you don't. Reverse the rolls Jerry. Put yourself in a place where you would be getting emails arguing against your line of thinking. If an email comes right out of the gate with "I can't believe you morons are trying to do xyz". You are gonna delete the hell out of it right out of the gate and be on the offensive from the first sentence. Articulately argued topics backed up with factual information is the the only thing that will change a person's mind

This covers it, you can’t argue this for one second, if you think you can, your a liberal. Haven’t read something that makes more sense than this in a very long time. We all should copy and paste this and Email it to the director of fish and game. I am!
People are insulted by everything now days. Flying an American flag on your porch insults half these people.
I would disagree that Wik built the blues herd.Pat Fowler built the blues heard and it's been downhill since he retired.
