They would love to end feeding stations.  Careful what you ask for,  this could be fast tracked and the biggest loser will be hunters.  Talk about willingness to cut off your nose to spite your face.

You can bet they would love to end winter feeding programs like they have attacked them in other states like Wyoming. There is a lot of unknowns with regards to CWD. They will claim that predators can't spread the transmission. Not sure where the proposed band started. Doubtful much enforcement will occur.

I am not asking for them to end feed stations. That is a little mistaken to what my sarcasm is referencing. What I am referring to is agendas against hunters and fisherman. Seems very fishy to me that all these lawsuits hit wdfw in regards to getting rid of resources for fisheries and such. But our wdfw tries their best to outlaw things such as baiting, fisheries, spring bear, cougar restrictions, poor management of ungulates, poor management of our state lands, etc with the list going on and on. Even the miss use of our discover pass. As we are paying them to use our funds against us in access restrictions and loss of resources within what the discover pass is used for. If they get enough backlash they will go a different route and they will have a lawsuit or something appear to then get rid of such thing. Then later on have to cut herd numbers in regards to better suit the landscape and protect agriculture lands. And use the cut in population of elk to further outlaw hunting. They have plan A. Then they have the alphabet of backup plans to cut our ability to hunt and fish. I am kind of rambling about an agenda as a whole.

What I see them doing is outlaw baiting as they are doing step one. First strike against hunters. Step two they will end feed stations in one way or another and or Step 3 they will up permit levels like crazy and make hunters feel they are getting more opportunities but then lower elk numbers and go to permit only and have over the counter opportunities taken away. Then we will all be back on here years later arguing about the loss of opportunity a couple years after one thinks the state was giving them more opportunities with original permits when the quotas went higher.

They are cutting us down one step at a time. Repeatedly. It is agenda driven. Not conspiracy but facts. Our commission blatantly puts that out there that they don’t care about scientific management but emotional based decisions.

Sounds brilliant!

It wouldn't end hunting, they're not going to stop even though they say it's "being looked at". It would show WDFW hunters are standing up and drawing attention to the ridiculous state wide bans and passed agendas that are taking away hunting opportunities and methods of hunting. The bait ban proposal itself stated that jurisdictional bans would suffice. I'm a non-res and willing to stand up for hunters, simply taking it in the rear year after year like hunters are doing is just DUMB. The "open to the public" meetings in WA have very little attendance from hunters yet they'll whine on the internet about WDFW lol. Keep letting the DEMS dictate hunting and in a few years it'll be too late to be heard.
