Pay Attention: Inslee Appoints Radicals to WDFW Commission

[KFhunter]

Money talks...

I've always been on the bubble when the conversation comes up but maybe it's time for an all in financial protest.

No one buys license's this year. 

We keep getting played because we appreciate the opportunities they "give" us... which they keep taking away, which will eventually lead to nothing.

 

This is why in the article it say's WDFW is trying to "expand their tent" - which means new revenue streams.   
WDFW knows hunting is, and will continue to decline, the next two 3 year cycles will suck bad, maybe this one too if its kyboshed and resubmitted, if that is possible?

As opportunities continue to dwindle, I get more and more convinced to focus my hunting and fishing out of state.  This seems like just more of the same trend to me.

This ultimately, sadly, is what it comes down to.  If you play in their game you are supporting them and are complicit at some level.  Been out of WA big game for years now.  Sure it is inconvenient, but it feels right.

But they haven't figured out how to pay for it! The WDFW doesnt want to get merged with the Parks but guess what... The state doesnt want to support the parks or the department!

Yup, gonna get real bad as economy bursts, taxes dry up, and money is shifted to homeless and feel good SJW projects.

SCI's Hunter Advocacy Action Center is working on it. Will let you know when it's ready for roll out.  We need to stop this at the Committee level with a Do Not Recommend for both Koontz and Smith.

Sweet, I'm SCI member

For those who may need a clearer explanation (me), one of the new appointees is the executive direction of this organization http://westernwildlife.org/#:~:text=The%20purpose%20of%20Western%20Wildlife%20Outreach%20is%20to%20provide%3A&text=Education%20on%20how%20local%20residents,ideas%2C%20opinions%2C%20and%20concerns.

I'm all for valuing differing input, but this seems concerning (at best).

This is how they will fix the revenue stream, Carnivores, they know that people want to see them, so they will make Washington a vacation destination for ECO-tourism and people will pay to see them. Meanwhile those of us that live here will be shut out of the wilderness to accommodate the Grizzly Bear, and wolves that will decimate all of our ungulates.

Kinda like Jurassic Park...

I think Yellowstone seen a big bump with the wolves in cages and for a while after, but then a decline as the park died. 


I wouldn't mind going back,  I was there just before the wolf introduction.   This time I'd like to hike/camp a ways in and fish, roam and take pics. 
Figure with COVID travel restrictions it would be a good time to go, less hoards of Asians.

Asians? You obviously haven't checked in with your PC advisor. We nolonger label anyone anything.

Venezuela jays attitude towards people like us was on full display last spring when he banned fishing. The writing is on the wall plain as day for anyone willing to look.
