New Hunting Regulations
« on: March 08, 2010, 10:00:12 AM »
   :yike:I dont know how many of you have seen this but I received word last Friday and looked around and couldnt find it until this morning.  http://wdfw.wa.gov/about/regulations/2010/wsr_10-04-125.pdf  I would suggest everyone read it and let WFDW know how you feel because were about to get f#$%@d >:(.  I havent seen anything about this until know and it appears the WDFW is only going to have one meeting on March 13 in Olympia.  Better get that letter writing campaign going again.

Dipsnort the link doesn't work.  What's it talk about.  I noticed that ALL HUNTERS can use a pistol for protection in the woods.  I knew that was gonna happen.  Our second ammendment rights guarantee that you can carry a pistol.  The WDFW no matter how powerfull they THINK they are cannot take away from our rights.  Our US Constitution guarantees that.   :IBCOOL:

What part didn't you specifically like?

I see some positive things in the proposal.
Americans are systematically advocating, legislating, and voting away each others rights. Support all user groups & quit losing opportunity!

We've been discussing this proposal on here for about a month now. The most significant change is in the special permit system. It can be good or bad, depending on how many points you have accumulated.

The document is huge.  Specifically which part is bad?

bobcat, that is the only big controversy I was aware of with this.

the main thing i am most upset with is the changes to the muzzleloader seasons in the west klickitat, wind river, and washougal units.  They are going from either sex to 3 point or better, and also includes modern in those areas.  and i am also not pleased with the fact that they are only having one meeting for comment and if you are on their email list you are only notified a week ahead of time, oh and their one meeting is in olympia, you know the place where everyones side gets tobe heard.

I frequent the board pretty regular dont post alot, hadnt seen anything about these upcoming changes.  even looked in the WDFW part of the site.  I guess I missed it.  Still not happy.

Do what I did and write a letter on here, add the email links to who it needs to go to and then ask people on here to write copy and paste your letter and send it to those email links.  That's the best way I know of.

Having a meeting is just a way for the WDFW to claim public input before they implement the plan.

ya know i dont really say much and i try to be proactive and part of the solution, so much so that i took part in the last round of changes that they made. for the most part i thought they did a pretty good job and that it seemed as tho there were positive changes about and that WDFW was finally listening to the hunters and trying to make us feel like we are part of the process.  but this stinks of politics as usual.  i work for a government agency and i can tell u this is not how we do things.  we are here to serve the people.  all the people.

I agree I went last year and it seems like they did take into consideration our input and did take that into consideration when they finalized their plans.  GMU 101 was an example.  Giving the ML guys more GMU"s to hunt was another.

One of the worst parts of the proposal is to give people their points across the board in all categories.......thus totally screwing over anyone that has few or no points.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

Yup, this year will be my first season hunting ever. I didn't even bother applying for any special permits since it seems it would just be a waste of money for someone with no points.
