End of Western WA Pheasant Release Program
pianoman9701:
Gentry, they have to. HSUS and other radical animal rights groups don't send money to politicians who support wildlife conservation. And the people who vote for these politicians have no idea how declining support of hunting and fishing will hurt wildlife.

My attempt at reading the writing on the wall:
There's zero support (city/county/state) to keep the farm. They all want it gone.
Best case scenario it gets relocated, but that will take years to become really viable even if they can find the $$$. If they can't find the $$$ for an existing farm, finding the $$$ to rebuild at a new location seems far fetched to me.
I hope I'm 1000% wrong.

Right there with you.
Want to bet there's already a deal in the works for the farm property?
Chesterdog:
WDFW - We want to invest $160,000.00 between 2021 and 2022 on improvements to the Snoqualimie Wildlife area.
"Approximately 100 hazard trees were removed from Cherry Valley and Crescent Lake Units during the 2021-2022
timeframe, improving public and staff safety. Approximately 6 miles of degraded interior roads
were improved on the Stillwater, Cherry Valley, Crescent Lake, Ebey Island, and Corson units,
providing improved public access and access for ongoing management"
Hunters - Cool! We're on board!
WDFW 2026 - We aren't releasing pheasants anymore, so these are now basically bike trails for non-hunters.
Hunters - WTF?
(West siders lost the Skagit Island unit recently as well. At what point do we push back? WDFW has a commitment to provide access to hunters on this side of the pass as well, and the opposite is happening.)
Chesterdog:
If we're forced to beg for crumbs, can we get these signs removed that kill duck hunting at these sites at the very least?
