Free: Contests & Raffles.
The Seattle Gun Rights Examiner talks about how, and looks back over a history of game management that has trimmed some 170,000 hunters from Washington's ranks since 1981.
Make that a nickels worth of opinion. The reason we are losing hunters so fast and so consistently is not the hunting regs (which I'll agree with everyone are silly) it's because even though our numbers keep declining they keep cramming us into fewer and fewer GMUs. I hear this lame @$$ excuse from hunters all the time, We're the smallest state with the most people. What do you guys think overcrowding and pressure would be like if the opened up the fricken state and allowed us all to find our own elbow room. Make me 10 times happier. I'd much rather chase a few elk with no hunters then a bunch of elk with a bunch of hunters!
