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.

Commission is a bigger problem then the wdfw as a whole it would be nice to make sure some animals get there share but realistically all need a piece of the pie  we as a whole just need to step up and show up find ways to combat the anti propaganda I know it would hurt but I wish we could get out of gen fund

I like thought you've put into this. But I agree with Russ that changing appropriations needs to go through our state legislators. Maybe you're actively connected to your state rep? A bill could be introduced and if so, an effort launched here on HuntWA to introduce this bill to each of our representatives.  :dunno:

I think before any change like this could be proposed you would have to have an intimate knowledge of how funding works, how the agency does accounting for different projects and how each funding source currently effects the departments budget.  It would be interesting to ask a WDFW manager what they would want/need to see an increase in a certain type of species and work from there.
