Just got an email.   Recreation, hunting and fushing leaders are invited to another meeting with WDFW April 29th to talk about how to go about re opening opportunities.  More to follow.   I take a lot of what you all say here to heart.   It helps in a lot of what i will discuss with them again.

What's to talk about? This is just a delaying tactic. If you go demand they open the hunting and fishing that day. No more delays and demand the Director of the WDFW grow a pair and join those two Sheriffs. You can cite the current research that contends that it is almost impossible to become infected outdoors. Then you can also give them the research that contends that this virus is already more widely spread and thus more people have had it .  This lowers the death rate to flu numbers. Time to stop the insanity.

5:34 and it is a pretty select amount of people.  Same people that were invited to the first meeting should have gotten the email.

My thoughts from the first meeting was no way it was going to open up.  Now i think that pressure is being gelt from the public, outdoor advocacy groups like us at the NWTF.  It is possible.  It does revolve around the governors order.  To have this follow up meeting is a good sign though.

They closed razor clam to prevent people from surging to the beaches and buying all the groceries from the small towns. People still surged to the beaches and bought all the groceries. The only change they introduced was no one could clam and that wasn't the goal. Even knowing this they closed all fishing and hunting and justified it with the same flawed argument they already proved wrong. Open hunting and fishing and stop treating us like dumb children. No county restrictions, no onerous limitations or phased openings. We are adults and deserve to be treated as thus.

They should’ve been thinking of ways to open up hunting/fishing all along. Instead there has to be another meting. Exactly.....a stall tactic. By the time they open anything up we’ll barely have a damn season. So frustrated with them.

I hope they open it up more than I can say! If they open up turkey and people that own gas stations, stores, or anyone that doesnt want us over there can put a sign out front saying they don’t want our business  and we can just go to the next spot that does.

Good news! One more arrow in the quiver of studies that demonstrate being outdoors is much safer than being locked up.  One more study that points to how mistaken Jay is for closing hunting and fishing.
