All I know is WDFW is standing right on the line right now between hunters and anti-hunters.
Basically just bouncing back and fourth.
Ready to milk that cash cow till it's powder milk.
I'm ready to admit it's not that great of an idea.
Thinking about it ,it's not gonna stop them from pissing our money down the drain.
Example:
Moose money,let's say they took the extra money and put water troughs in every region at springs on public ground.
To combat climate change ,which really is just drought conditions.
Well something like that helps all wildlife,not just permit species,predators,birds,you name it.
I just thought maybe it would force them to use the money for projects that could help all wildlife,while directly helping permit species.
Like just a few years ago they spent some crazy money on a wolf conflict specialist. Maybe that was our moose permit money,they could of done that meeting in a zoom setting and just muted people and saved a lot of money.
Bottom line though.
I do trust the work they do to protect Washington resources.
But trusting them to do the right thing with my money.
Are two very different things.
WDFW is like two sides of a coin,and has been for awhile.
A lot of people there support hunting,and A lot don't.
Keep ungulate population below objective,is slowly killing hunting. The ones that don't support are just there incognito mode.
When I've purposed rule changes in the past that could of benefited future of hunting and wss turned down.
Ya my trust is limited at best.
