Here we go! The Wildlife Commission is set to delay bear hunting in the recently released WDFW Game Management Plan to after 9/7.
"some fall bruin hunts being pushed out past Labor Day Weekend so as not to conflict with other recreationists in the woods and mountains in late summer."
https://nwsportsmanmag.com/new-wa-game-plan-asks-wdfw-to-consider-moving-bear-season-to-avoid-wildlife-viewer-conflicts/Here's the WA Game Commission's email address: commission@dfw.wa.gov
Here's the WDFW Director's email: director@dfw.wa.gov
Let them know what you think! We can't let them encroach on the only season we have left. Give them an inch and they'll take a mile. Especially when the REI crowd THAT DOESN'T ADVOCATE FOR HUNTERS is the group set to benefit from this STUPID idea. The Commission and WDFW need to give hunters a wide birth, not advocate for weekend warrior tech bros.
Email them and tell them to ditch this punitive, offensive idea.
