Rumor has it they are now taking public comment from 8-9am this Saturday for spring bear.
If you can, follow the link and sign up! I think we had too many pro hunters the last time and certain commissioners didn’t like it.

Get signed up!
Open public input are agenda items 2, 13

@Alan K have Jason S. or Megan weighed in on this? I feel like it would be of interest?

I would rather gouge my eye out with a dull stick than read 908 pages of comments...

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Comments are now closed.  At least it was when I just tried to access the comment section.

Alas, I won't be able to testify this weekend.  I hope some of you guys and gals are able to!

Was listening to an older Elk Talk podcast yesterday on a drive and they mentioned the spring bear issue. Randy talked about how impressed he was with Washington sportsman coming out and making our voices heard. I would have to agree. Well done gents

This comment on the website:  Stop the bear hunt. It's a sickening practice, carried out by the worst members of society who are essentially cowards. Nothing to do with conservation. The Pittman Robertson Act funds conservation. These weekend "hunters" are just thrill seekers.

The PRA is funded by tax on guns, ammo, and archery equipment. https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R45667.pdf.

How do the anti-hunters think the PRA "funds conservation?" We fund the PRA, thus, we fund conservation. The lunacy is deep.

Pretty sure she did.  So it appears the anti's have enough comments now to appease the anti-hunting commissioners.  >:(

 :yeah:  I'll be your martyr.  I have speed read thru over 40%, pausing at a few of the more diabolical comments of the opposition.  I am encouraged by the number of comments from all over the USA.  We might not have gone global like the opposition, but supporters have heard and responded in force.   :tup: :tup:

It's been closed since the 12th or whenever they said it would close. Maybe they're still accepting/reading emailed comments.  :dunno:
