To every member here. If you ever do any real estate down in Utah. Frost Family Real Estate is posting fully against spring bear and comments against hunters. Just a heads up.

Done

Check this out. You notice anything about this person posting twice. First they say hunters are posting death threats. Now they say eliminate hunters for the better of humanity. WHAT!!!!!!?
That sounds like a big threat from an anti hunter to me.

Just to be clear, you're referring to the Humane Society of the United States, not your local humane society. Good post.

Lots of antis posting. Get in there guys and gals.

Why they would allow comment from any Joe Blow without a verified WA residence address is completely illogical. They should also keep it to 1x comment per IP address, sure VPNs and cookie deletion can deter this method, but it would at least limit a lot of the multiple comments. I can only hope they'd filter by email given and limit 1x submittable comment per email address.

Taking comments in this manner makes zero sense other than allowing parties with zero skin in the game to have the same voice as WA residents.

This was brought up in one of the recent commission meetings.  One of the commissioners made the argument that the wildlife belongs to “all Americans” so we should keep listening to out of state special interest groups.

Just out of curiosity I looked up the name of one of the people commenting against. She lives in Canada. She's not even from our country.

can they put up another poll for the antis......  Bears or trees?

Freedom of information act I believe its called, if someone had the time and energy to invest in this route I think it would show us the how and the why of the shake out of an input period.  See them all and see how much they count for, how its scored etc., but I think its high time someone found out how honest and fair these input farces actually are.

I cant imagine 2000 people can get credit for 5000 anti statements anymore than I can imagine 1000 hunters accounting for 4000 pro statements.  There just has to be checks and balances and it most certainly needs to be public information as Im sure it is to whomever inquires in the correct manner, through the correct channels.

And now people are copying the anti comments name with support. This is hilarious.

Ya some comments are out there on both sides.
But most that comment are against all hunting ,and in the spring for sure.
What's next spring turkey gone.
Fall bear season.
These comment periods where always like ,ya will comment and the Commission will just do whatever they thought will do.

NOW it's like millions of comments and not just hunters,or residents,it's everybody that can copy and paste a link.
Some of these Commission members are taking these into account on whether there even gonna have a meeting.

I'm sure theres a clever computer engineer out there that can write script for a bot that posts the same comment over and over between a certain span of time. This "public comment period" is a complete sham.

[hunter399]

What I've noticed is they always change there name.
And comment something different.

They could be bots I don't know.

Ya I want a spring bear season.
Along with all the other seasons.
