Perfect example of the lies they are willing to tell to get their way.

We all need to be sharing this information with everyone we know . Fishing will be next.
And talking about it every chance we get.

I also think we should show support for the director.

Just saw on the news that the governor ordered a human resource investigation into the 4 commissioners. If what the Sportsman's Alliance says is correct I believe the governor will sacrifice these 4 to make it look like he is doing what is right and to hopefully keep the media from looking deeper. Sideshow Bob is actually much more savvy than Inslee was and is a master of hiding stuff and distancing himself from controversy.

At the end of the day I think liberals are happy to take hunting rights when nobody is watching but if they are exposed for using corruption to take those rights it could cause the public to take notice to what has been going on. And I personally believe that neither the state or the tribes want the truth being discussed in the open where people are paying attention.

Pretty simple these days, if it wears a D, its corrupt.

The tribes are often in our corner, especially with regard to the makeup of the commission and activism. For example, were it not for the Colville and Yaks, we'd likely have twice as many wolves in eastern and NE WA than we do already.

Exactly. The tribes don’t want some of the truth out in the open about who’s killing wolves and seals. And the state doesn’t want it out there that they know who’s doing this while they stay quiet about it. The public would be up in arms in no time if it was known that tribes are killing bears and cougars year around with hounds. It’s bad PR for their casinos and that is why their hunting and fishing is kept so tight lipped.

I hope it happens, I don’t know how the Commission can move forward with any credibility with the foul four sitting there. All they have to do is recruit one vote and they get their way every time.

I would like to think Ferguson will dump them but I will wait to see. I think he might just admonish them and have them finish their term and then not reinstate them.

But if the deletion of emails proves out I hope he bits the bullet and dumps them.

I think we will really be  in Trouble if they drive the Director out. He has stood up to some of their crazy stuff where he could, takes bid Gomas  to stand up to your boss.

I also think the tribes have acted behind the scenes to bring this to a head. And Ferguson doesn’t need the tribes sueing.

The other point is it is a good move highlighting the folks who fund organizations like WA Wildlife First. Most donors do not want to be outed for ending hunting and fishing. And drying up their funding is most likely the best way to dissolve them.

I read a comment some where that WA Wildlife First had funding problems and may go away, I hope that’s true. Their entire mission is to remodel the WDFW.

If  Ferguson dumps these foul four. WA Wildlife First is going to have a hard time I would guess.


The investigation could show that the fowl four were feeding intel to WA Wildlife First and they use that information to sue the state repeatedly over wolves. Ferguson dose t strike me as a governor who cares to much for getting sued at every turn as that eats up a lot of budget.

Fingers crossed.

My wish list is

Dump the foul four
Re-visit Spring Bear
And lay down some ground rules for future commissioners .

This just says the WDFW didn’t do anything wrong. The fingers are now solely on the 4 commission members and I believe it was after this ruling by the judge that the director sent the letter to the governor requesting the investigation into the foul 4. Not sure about the exact timeframe or motives behind the moves though.

Even if these 4 are booted for wrong doing I don’t have a lot of confidence in the governor adding members that would do what us as hunters would like to see.
