email reply to my email re: the 8 different choices thread...

[jackelope]

Seriously though, I have to think that a good representation of the Washington hunting community is right here on this site and if an overwhelming majority of the guys here dont like it, how did they think they are going to have a positive reaction to it.

Sounds just like this healthcare BS being shoved down our throats.

did anyone else e-mail them besides me?

[WDFW-SUX]

My TRO prohibits me from contact...

[jackelope]

1 crazy dude on a web forum sending them an email with a link ain't gonna provide much influence i'd say...
i woulda figured at 28 pages on the other thread someone else would have bitched to them besides me.
 

this was my email to the director...

there are 4500 washington hunters on here looking for explanations.

thats it.

[WDFW-SUX]

I sent dave an email telling him to ignore you because you crazy does that count?

[jackelope]

yeah thats close enough...

[WDFW-SUX]

Seriously though, Ive called them twice about it.  They seemed surprised both times that i didnt like it.

[SkookumHntr]

-same here,  asked if there getting lots of calls on this and the said no

i dont really know if any of our input ever really matters to them.  did anyone hear anything about the extra permit they added for next years salmon and steelhead fishing on the columbia before they came out saying "hey guess what", now we are getting hit with an additional $13 fee just to fish the columbia and what does that money go towards? certainly wont be for added run populations since they are doing their damnedest to scourge the river of hatchery fish.

i have come to believe that the WDFW will do what they want how they want, and simply see us as $$$$.  and that they couldn't care less about actually managing the game we do have and are being persuaded by a bunch of THDW's.

thats my honest

your not alone in your thinking

So my take on the email from Mr. Ware is that it is a done deal, that they are happy with it and that we are happy with it. 


I suggest we let them know how we really feel, but we have to be polite about it.

I personally want less (1) hunt choices and I do not want a "quality" category. Matter of fact, I don't want any "categories".

But we all can not agree...so they will make the choices for us and we will "like" them.

Business as usual.......they just use those surveys, or should I say parts of the surveys to validate what they want to impose.  There is a real bias in how questions are put together to get the results they want

I guess I'll have to email him and ask him to explain why they think it will increase a person's odds of drawing.  Though, I do know the answer, I guess it would be good to hear it from him.

I absolutely agree.
I have stated it elsewhere.. there are courses in creating surveys and how to properly pose questions to get your desired answer.

Post the e-mail address you sent it to and I'll fire one off also. I want to make sure it goes to the same person.
