Spring Bear Petition

[Rob]

Here is the letter I sent:

I understand there is a petition to establish a spring 2022 bear season to be voted on during the Jan 21 2022 commission meeting.  I strongly request that this is taken up and re-assessed.  It appears that the cancelation of this season was made in haste, and based on feelings rather than data.

As an active Hunters Education Instructor  and Master Hunter I have been giving back to the WDFW and hunting community for many years and this is the first time I have taken the time to reach out in this manner.  I am hopeful that this wrong can be righted and with that decision a some restoration of faith in Fish and Wildlife leadership by the hunting community.

Comments sent to the Commission. Here is what I said.

"I understand there is a petition to establish a 2022 Spring Bear Special Permit Season and to be voted on during the Jan 21, 2022, commission meeting.  I strongly request that this is re-assessed and voted in favor of a 2022 Special Permit Spring Bear Season. I have been a licensed hunter for 20 years in Washington and given many dollars in the form of tags, licenses, special permits, raffles, and discover passes. It would be a disservice to ALL of our state’s great sportsmen and sportswomen to take away yet another hunting and fishing opportunity. Your own commission even states that this decision was not made of science or by biologist recommendations. WDFW is agreeing and siding with people who are NOT sportsmen and sportswomen and who, for the majority, have NOT contributed to WDFW funds in anyway. Some of which are not even from the State of Washington.
Please unsuspend and vote in favor of the 2022 Spring Bear Special Permit."


Everyone should take 5 mins to do this. You can even copy and paste mine.

I seen this on FB tonight and didn't see anyone talking about it here so wanted to share.

At tonight's WDFW public meeting the WDFW Director stated that there is a petition to establish a spring 2022 bear season to be voted on during the Jan 21 2022 commission meeting and that it is imperative to let the commissioners know your position or they may not take up the petition.

Here is a link to contact the commission: https://wdfw.wa.gov/about/commission/contact Hope this helps.

Anyone  know what day this was stated or which topic they were speaking about?

The last commission meeting was the Dec 2-4 so it would have to be a different one.
