New Regs Biggest Disappointment

Im just curious what your thoughts are.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.

i said no wolf hunt, but no elk in 3911 is defiantly close.  :bash:  :tree1: running the game dept!
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

My biggest disappointment in the game dept. is having us keep track of harvest, and they use our data to make all these decisions.  If we fail to report the data, we get fined.  We're doing most of the work, yet our license fees keep going up.  When you call them, you get some college uneducated putz that doesn't have any experience, and doesn't have any passion for his/her job.  I'm not much for bureaucracies.  It's just a big ass waste of taxpayer money.  All of the paper work and other b.s. just takes any spiritual meaning out of our hunts.  Just bogs us down with baggage.

The wdfw isn't about managing wildlife.  It's all about managing you, the sportsman.  That's what sticks in my craw.

Tell me who in the wdfw really gives a rat's ass about habitat and sustaining huntable populations of game animals?  They're just milking a job.

Change in permits because it screws those of us that have settled for applying for meat hunts and not trophy hunts.  You should only be able to apply your current points to ONE category of your choice.

I selected "other" but no wolf hunt was my second choice.  Other for archery anterless opportunities being taken away while still available for other user groups.

I agree with this even though I selected no wolf hunt.  There are no archery antlerless deer permits in the GMU's I will be hunting for archery yet there are for everyone else.

No surprise about not having a wolf season.  I do wish there was a season and a bounty on them.

I also think there should be a general spring bear season across the whole state, year round cougar season, and more limitted antlerless harvest for deer and elk.  Oh......and more opportunity for the hound guys.
May I always be the kind of person my dog thinks I am.

The ability for moose special permits applicants 65+ and 16- to apply for up to 8 hunts and not lose any points in the other categories in which they don't draw.  If you're disabled, you get 9 choices. >:( Did my odds go up? NO! WDFW says that was one of the reasons for going to this system. To please all the 'hunters' that are bitchin' about having terrible odds for hunts. Garbage.

Other:  The game department suggesting that global warming is the reason that hunting in washington is in such decline not there own poor management for the last two decades.

Number 1: permits.  Number 2: providing link to global warming myth.
