Attention Sportsmen and Women: Presence needed at April WDFW Commission meeting

[Firstgenhunter]

Upcoming April WDFW Commission Meeting
📅 When: Friday, April 17th at 8:00 AM
📅 Alternate Day: Saturday, April 18th at 8:30 AM
📍 Where: Olympia, Natural Resources Building

This is the commission meeting you don’t want to miss. After years of spring bear restrictions, fights to protect predator hunting, and troubling commission decisions, your voice is needed now more than ever. If you can only attend one meeting this year, make it this one.

The investigation into Commissioners Melanie Rowland, Barbara Baker, Lorna Smith, and John Lehmkuhl has revealed serious allegations, including close ties to anti-hunting groups, repeated votes to decrease hunting opportunities, ethics concerns, disruption of meetings, and alleged deletion of public records. Public trust has been damaged, and the time to stand together is now.

We’ll be sharing more exposes, speaking tips, and updates as the investigation concludes on April 6th. Mark your calendars, bring your friends, and let’s show up peacefully and respectfully to protect our hunting heritage.

Stand beside your fellow sportsmen. Make your voice heard. Demand accountability.

They plan these meetings in advance, no way they can see the future. But I have voiced my issues with meetings constantly being on opening weekends, or huge agenda items, coincidentally being on the start date. There talking about classifying coyotes on Thursday during committee meetings. The goal of that is to create seasons and regulations for them. Policy wise, this isn’t that big of a meeting so far. This is really just about the investigation into the 4 and getting people to show up and make their voice heard. Really hope sportsmen and women show up to this one. Hoping to pull off a massive showing.
