As long as nothing crazy comes up at work I will be making the trek over the mountain to be there for At least Friday. I will be the guy in the camo hat and hunter orange vest… hopefully along with a few thousand others

Leave it to the government to decide issues about hunting during hunting season
No coincidence there huh ?

I'm planning on going. I'll be the one that is out of 2023 bear tags.
Everyone lives off the land.  Some of us simply have more fun doing it.

I will be in attendance, I have also just sat down for about 30 minutes and typed out a email straight to the fish and game commission. I hope they will read it. Pretty sad when you spend all that time to write out your thoughts and know in the back of your mind that it's probably going to be ignored.

I have sent one every day and will
It makes a guy want to cry emailing one’s thoughts like that

Also I thought it was interesting and funny that when the website pulled up and the options came up. I wanted to email the “report a violation “ department
Seemed appropriate

“At the commissioner’s August meeting, they also discussed their plan and desire to end all bear and mountain lion hunting in the state as early as April of 2024.”
What was said specifically?  I’ve never heard any of the commissioners say this.

Same here.... the majority are still sitting on their hands... can't believe people are ignorant enough to think it can't happen. Still seeing and hearing people everyday say "they can't do that"... well guess what..  :(

To quote Commissioner Melanie Rowland at an August 2023 meeting of the WDFW Commission, “…{hunters} should be getting nervous.”
