Good. I don’t want people bashing her based on the way she gave her answer.

If you look elsewhere in the video. she tears in to the commission pretty good and tells them they should be ashamed of letting their feelings and opinions override the science.  I'm sure she is about as fed up as we are.  The way Baker asked her the question about spring bear hunts being a "social" hunt makes me wanna puke.  Baker knew damn good and well what the answer was, and her smugness when Stephanie had to answer it was a huge slap in the face. 

Do you remember roughly where at in the video she tears into the commission?

"just give it time"  as he's on his way out and has overstayed his term.

How's he going to fix it if he's on borrowed time? 


He sold us down the river

"TRUST THE SCIENCE" party openly votes against....science.  Weird

summary - he's on his way out and took the path of least resistance, he's past his term and serving at the sole discretion of Inslee and could be booted at any moment

but give him time and he'll sort this all out for the future

If anyone would like to express their discontent with the spring bear cancelling the wdfw number is:

360-902-2200

And the directors email is:
Kelly.Susewind@dfw.wa.gov

Keep it respectful and express your concerns. There is more going on here than meets the eye but we need to apply pressure.
I think it would be great if we caused some noise on Monday morning about this topic.

Are you saying apply pressure to the director?

What happens to all our points? Here’s an idea. Let’s boycott buying tags. If the WDFW can’t work for us let’s stop giving them our money. Truth be told I’m working hard to move out of this state so it’s easier for me to say than most.

I know this is one year "pause" .
I think it will be gone forever .
Just my opinion ,I'm sure you guys don't wanna hear that.
Alot of you guys know how hard it is to bring something back after its gone.
WDFW the department is just worried about lience sales cause spring bear kicks off the year. And most people just buy there big game package,and then put in for spring bear.
I don't believe for a minute that the department cares about hunters or deer and elk population. It's all about the money and getting you locked in early in the year.

@saylean
Not sure applying pressure to your this in alignment is fruitful but if you more then please share.  There is definitely questions to be asked but I felt like the director was very clear in opposition as well as expressing disgust with the way this item played out.

If I was a betting man, I'd bet that there will be little to no noticeable dip in permit app sales because of this. Everyone has far too much perceived investment in their points. Nobody is willing to sit out unfortunately.
