Alert: SB 6813 - WDFW Elimination
Wacenturion:
I'll give you an example. Major changes in regulations according to WDFW staff who are responsible for them, are put forth and approved every three years. They conveniently use this as an excuse when something could happen, but must wait...OK...fine.
However on the other side, if WDFW decides they want something...i.e.....the new permit application process, they just ram it forward with little public input except for some questions that were designed to get the answers WDFW wants, and then submit it to the Commission. Do you honestly think the Commission will even give a second thought to the three year process that WDFW and they themselves set..............hell no!! So what good are they................what do they actually do for us? Wake up folks.............

:yeah: Or maybe everyone is enjoying how Defenders of Wildlife is running WDFW? :dunno: Those of you who were at the wolf meetings, how do you think that went? WDFW list the wolves as endangered in Washington, not the fed. WDFW had six confirmed wolf packs in 1992, not 70 years ago, who do you think is really running WDFW? Now they want you to write letters to back them up on how great they are! WDFW managing game went out the door along time ago in the Washington.

While symbolic, here is a little test for you. Go to the WDFW main page and then hit refresh 20 times. How many of the banner pictures at the top of the screen are of game animals? I went 0 for 20, I clicked 24 times before I got a game animal (If you want to count a merganzer).
I will probably send letters in support of the WDFW for 2 reasons.
#1 I want them to go back to there roots and start mananaging for abundance of GAME species both wild game and fish. A super agency will be harder to change than an individual agency.
#2 The grass is not always greener (or in this case it may become greener as in econuts) on the other side. I don't know but the unkown is not always better than the known.

On refresh #25 I got a pair of Ruddy Ducks.........do I win anything...lol. Lots of clams, whales, snakes, egrets, chipmunks before that......almost got 3 of a kind on the swans though. :chuckle:

I don't see a problem with them falling under the DNR, alot of states east of the Mississippi the game/fish side fall under the DNR and things seem to run smoother!! And it is cheaper to hunt and fish. Fingers crossed it will make things a lot better for hunters and fisherman across the board.
