Just wanted to say ,spring bear for the whole state.
What the tribe does are to different topics.
The tribe is not bound by any state law.
If they cooperative in game management with the state that's great ,but at the end of the day doesn't really matter.
And yes because there not bound by state law,the tribe can be an effective predator management tool.
With spring bear a compensation program for timber company's should be set up .
Property damage is property damage.
No different than livestock eaten by wolves they get compensation.
If you fail to manage bears,protect bears,won't allow recreational hunting of bears at the time when damage occurs.
It's time for WDFW to start writing checks.
For every action there is a reaction.
Also want to say the Commission dodging this decision left and right . Is also dodging paying for there decision.
If they vote down spring bear ,a compensation program should be on the agenda the very next day.
