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.
there are 4500 washington hunters on here looking for explanations. http://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,42946.0.html
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 Steve
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
