SO ............What are we going to do about it?
We can blog about it, complain about it and wish that things were better OR we can let the WDFW know what we are seeing in the field and ask for changes.
I would like to see fewer special permit in all of the Chelan County units south of Lake Chelan. The fires made great forage habitat for winter range but escape cover is very limited. The winter range hunts in November and December need to be greatly reduced. The Swakane unit archery hunt should either be permit only or areas open to archery hunters needs to be expanded to reduce the pressure on that herd.
DO SOMETHING, These people need to hear from us:
