WDFW Commission Meeting 11/18 for Spring Bear Policy
« on: November 10, 2022, 11:00:42 AM »
Need to make sure that we are never silent at or before any commission meeting where Spring Bear policy is discussed.

Excerpt from 11/8 news release:

"The next day, Nov. 18, the full Commission will meet in Olympia and via Zoom to discuss development of a spring bear policy. The Commission will also decide on rule making for shoreline armoring, as well as hear briefings and make decisions on petitions to consider rule making for spring bear hunting and black bear timber damage permits. Public comment will not be taken at this meeting, but the public may provide comment ahead of time by visiting the Commission webpage and selecting the subject “Nov. 18, 2022 Meeting” on that page, or by contacting commission@dfw.wa.gov. Comments will be accepted through Wednesday, Nov. 16 at 5 p.m."

Absolutely. Every hunter on here should take a minute and contact/email the commission regarding this as you can rest assured the antis will be all over it.

Post this info to your social media accounts to remind your hunting followers to do the same.

Did the commission change their work statement? I coulda sworn it’s main priority was to improve opportunities? Now it looks a little different.

Meeting during late modern deer. It couldn’t be more obvious that they are the wrong people for the job.

Yeah but there is no public comment during this meeting so it kind of doesn’t matter. I sent a comment in favor of reinstatement
“Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary.”

If you are not willing to die for freedom then take the word out of your vocabulary.

If someone wants to writeup an intelligent brief comment that members can copy and paste into submission box that's pretty helpful. People care, but not everyone has the time to writeup a thoughtful response...

It takes five minutes to write an individual response. If they start receiving the same one over and over, they start ignoring them. Here's what I put in the comments:

"Spring bear should be brought back and expanded. The rising bear population since the banning of dogs and bait in 1996 is out of control (as is the cougar population). Bear/human conflict and sharp decline in ungulate populations are the results. Limiting or eliminating this hunt goes against sensible wildlife conservation principles of carrying capacity, and ungulate numbers are suffering as a result. Allowing political and anti-hunting concerns determine the course of wildlife management in our state will not only eventually hurt wildlife populations, but the elimination of hunting will defund conservation efforts that currently are paid for by hunters with taxation (PR funds), licenses, and the vast efforts of hunter conservation groups like RMEF, DU, and Pheasants Forever, among others. Bring back spring bear. Bring back scientific wildlife management."
"Restricting the rights of law-abiding citizens based on the actions of criminals and madmen will have no positive effect on the future acts of criminals and madmen. It will only serve to reduce individual rights and the very security of our republic." - Pianoman https://linktr.ee/johnlwallace

I haven't seen anything about this from Howl.org who have been a strong proponent of us getting our Spring Bear season back and great way to get the word out. I've fwded all this info to their IG page but if anyone has any other contact info for them, they would be a big help for making sure a lot of pro-hunting comments are made.

Good call Pman. I just remembered that in past threads on similar issues it was said they just count the yays and nays and that's that.

I commented on using science not emotions and feelings for spring  bear season that have healthy populations.

I'll tell ya what this is about....
Right now...
Co-exist anti-hunters want spring bear shut down forever.
There just trying to get something put in that permit numbers or any chance of a season will never happen again.
So they don't have to debate it every year.
Its gone.
I'm over it .
I'm sorry guys,it's a waste of my time to comment,send emails to the Commission,biologists,WDFW.
Squeaking wheel gets round filed anymore.
Welcome to the future,no accountability,no integrity,and most of all no grit.
All hunting in Washington will be permit only soon anyway.
Inslee and Commission.
