The email the replied to me with this morning.

My guess is that it was delegated to the Director like last year. 

What was were changed last year? I didn't think the Director had the authority to do that.

There are updates to tag numbers every year. The commission can delegate their authority to the Director.

Maybe our concern is about different things. There are WACS proposed to be changed in the Hunting Season Proposals. That is my focus and I don't think the Director can change them unilaterally.

I believe he just did it this Fall with the Multi-Season permit WAC. He held a public hearing in November, and I don’t think it ever went back to the commission.

Edit: hearing was October 24th, not November.

I didn't follow that so won't dispute you but it seems like at some point the Commission would have to at the very least cede him that authority or what is the point of the Commission? I have not seen where they have done that with these WACs.

I agree, the commission would have to delegate that to him. I have gone back to the last few meetings to try and find where they may have done that, but couldn’t find anything. I even asked it in the email I sent, but they didn’t answer it.

They created another pool of 100 multi-season deer tags that could be issued, at no cost, to people who submitted their deer for CWD sampling.
