Im not sold on how good this is. Most bills dont seem to account for the actual impact or unintended consequences  it may create.

Do you think this will actually effect the make up of the WDFW Comission? Do you think it will change the legislative or legal checks and balances? I fear this is a feel good measure that has not been fully vetted.
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I don't disagree with you. Mainly posted it because many on here have been pushing for such an amendment.

I don't think anybody is under the illusion that it will immediately fix anything or have a drastic impact. If you listen to the lobbyists who have pushed similar bills through in other states they'll tell you the same thing. It's more-so intended as just another small tool in the belt for future litigations to point to as opportunity continues to be taken from sportsmen.

Also, I think the time of sitting on our hands for fear of "maybe" making things worse has long passed in WA. We can't continue to ride a sinking ship to the bottom just because we might make the leak worse unintentionally.  :twocents:

I agree :yeah:
I believe it won't change anything in management.
But will insure that hunting and fishing can't be completely removed.

Something is better than nothing but I’m not holding my breath that it will pass or even if it makes it out of committee.

I think this year is a "short" session so I will be surprised to see it get much traction this year without the words homeless, fentanyl or affordable housing attached to the title.

I'm curious to see if this goes anywhere, have my doubts but trying to stay hopeful.  As others have said, this won't fix all our problems but it's a step in the right direction.

Supported and thanks for posting! I actually came to this section looking to see if anyone was talking about it. Glad we’re rallying this community to speak up.

The upcoming sportsmen's show in Puyallup would be a great place to rally major support for something such as this. It would be hard to find a more direct target audience anywhere else in the state. Just an idea!
