Are you going?

[Ric0]

I'm planning on going in October. I took those days off work for hunting season. This is more important to me. I will gladly miss a few days of hunting one season if that means I get to hunt the next 3 years.

I mentioned this to some guys at a pheasant release site. They heard about the bear/cougar situation, but didn't seem to understand how important this is. I reminded them  about hound hunting and trapping. Hopefully, they contact everyone they know to get into action!

I’ll be going. I’m not sure how much it will matter, but I can’t do nothing and expect anything to be ok going forward.

If anybody is on the fence about traveling because of the cost, I live 90 min from Olympia and have 2 rooms that aren’t used. We can even carpool.

Despite all of the talk going on here, almost none of my buddies or family that hunt know anything about this until I mention it to them. I would venture to guess that 10-20% of WA hunters are vaguely aware of this situation at best.

Agree 100%, people who participate in these forums and actually know whats going on are a very small percentage.... I am preaching every chance I get and the amount of side-ways looks I get are unbelievable...

Is there opportunity for public comment at this meeting?  Or is going just a solidarity/increased presence thing?

Add in to that the amount of people that will refute that anything like this could ever happen.  Once you show them proof, and they still don't believe it.  I know hunters are a fickle group, but I am in awe at the amount of people that are blissfully ignorant to what is going on with our hunting rights and heritage.  However, I will continue to try to keep as many people informed as I can.
