Thanks, pressure on the commission is in order.  We can deal in emotion too.  Any pictures or video of wolves digging out a sow with a bunch of newborns?  How a bout a blackie with a screaming calf roaring a way from an enraged cow.  Maybe a bunch of cows in July without a calf in sight.  Remind them WA has ten times as many bears as cougars.  Using their own rules against them would be good.  Maybe reading RCWs at the next commission gathering.

Hi guys, it’s me on the podcast. I’m still learning all about the situation but I can tell you, truthfully, we MUST start paying very close attention to this commission on all aspects of work. There are issues I’m aware of that I cannot discuss as of yet that would concern most of you. Ive requested through the freedom of information act emails, text messages and online comments. Once received I’ll do a file dump here.

We need to get rid of Lorna Smith and outshine the anti hunters. We must get vocal, active, annoying. They are coming for your passion. Don’t let them win without a fight. I’m nothing special, just an average joe, but I’ll be damned if I let this continue unchecked.

Hi Saylean,

Thanks for being on the podcast.

Appreciate you and the guys on P N Wild discussing the topics.

Yes, there are behind the scenes things happening regarding Black Bears in this State, things going on that are not good for Wildlife Conservation.

Appreciate you keeping us updated on things we can do, action steps we can participate in, to help with this issue.

I listened to it. (Podcast)
I also spend a few hour yesterday listening to commission meeting leading up to this vote.
Very informative .
One thing all of us hunters should be able to agree on.
If you hunt bear or not.
That this is an all out attack on our hunting privaleges.
No way this issue should even been voted on,There rule change processes that are in place for this. The commission is asking for information that would normally be available in a new management plan,which is the time for rule changes.
Our bear population is not in a condition that would warrant an emergency closure of any season currently.
WDFW would also agree that our bear population is stable currently and has relayed that info to the commission.

I know Alot of you are mad about the spring bear season.
It is just purely a recreational hunt now and has been for awhile. The number of permits and harvest is not enough to effect bear population or mitigate bear tree damage.
With that said ....
There is a time and place for rule changes,this was not either of those.
We went from a reduction of like 8 permits to a whole season on pause in the blink of an eye ,with no substantial scientific reasoning .
Is just an all out attack on us hunters ,and we need to stand up to that.

Lots of armchair quarterbacking and shock in the podcast. @SpecialT warned repeatedly on this forum about the real threat of this.  Hunters in general responses were dismal, the effort it takes to post on this forum could have made the difference with the swing vote.  We as hunters are reactivate not proactive, until this changes look forward to more losses unless we wake up and show up. Also concentrating on the ancillary elements discounts your position going into the discussion.  If you are going to push back it needs a strong foundation and some unity amongst users.

@Saylean
It's poor form to attack or inundate your allies, like Kelly Sueswind with emails when they could be directed towards more effective players.  Kelly's frustrations were plenty evident during the meetings.

Kelly isn’t a main focus, Lorna Smith is. I understand he is on our side regarding this. In the initial day or so after that announcement of the cancellation I wanted people to make noise and contact the wdfw. Kelly is top dog so start there. The commission has no online social media presence, wdfw does.

My focus is removing Lorna Smith from the commission and continued pressure to reinstate the spring season coupled with much more interaction from the hunting and fishing community, which I cannot do alone and need every single one of you to step up and get active.
I’ve signed up to speak during their next meeting, everyone else on here should to.

Appreciate all the efforts, I’ve signed, emailed and called. Had a great conversation with a lady from Wdfw who is behind our fight, but she can’t do anything from her position, told me to tell us to get noisy!
