I really agree something needs to be done soon. It is already to late but it can be fixed. It will take a while. They do need Dig the roads up and plant trees on them .Make heavy fines for people using them.. People need to get off there asses and really hunt. i am tired of people crying cause they have to walk. Less roads = great hunting. And it HOPEFULLY will keep the Natives from driving around killing and waisting.. This is my OPINION.. I have always been a hard core hunter. Don't mind working for it.

well put.  i 100% agree with your thoughts on closing alot of the roads up there. i think closing the powerline rd from colockum to brewton would be AMAZING!!! and would give the elk and deer a much needed chunk of habitat that they already thrive off of when theyre not being ran down by guys driving up and down the roads or posting up on stray gulch shooting cross canyon across the powerline rdfrom camp with their shooting platforms.  cant belive some people a whole camp of guys with rifles mounted on standing shooting platforms taking pop shots across the powerline rd they shoot across stray gulch canyon and to shoot cross canyon u have to shoot OVER the powerline rd...shooting over the rd twice on their side of the canyon and across the rd on the other side of the canyon.  CLOSE THE POWERLINE ROAD!!!!!!!!!!

even if it was "5pt Min" an the bull to cow ratio got way better. the indians would have an even better shooting gallery of bulls to shoot at. and they take enough big breeding bulls to destroy the herd already. it NEEDS to be "permit only" for a few years so the breeding bulls can get their f*** on and rebuild the herd to what it used to be before all this bull ishhh.  even cow permit only would make a big difference.  something needs to change and no one can seem to put their finger on what it is. its depressing. my grandpa hunted colockum for 60yrs b4 he passed and my dad has hunted for 40+ and i have been hunting it for 16yrs (im 24). never would i have thought it would have came down to "true spike only" hell even "spike only".  idk yall but it wouldn't hurt my feelings if they closed the colockum for a few years to better the herd.  im a young hunter and want to be able to take my kids up there to hunt one day in the future.

ok we all know the indians shoot bulls, but you cant drag your nuts on it forever!!!!!!!!!! thats not going to get us anywhere with replenishing the herd!!!!!!!!!!!

People like that are not hunters. They are just shooting. They are out there to just get away and party. Some people don't know what its about.. that's to bad. i try to take in the country and have a great time when i am out in the country. I don't understand. some things that i see out there in the late archery just pisses me off. making it harder gets those people out of the equation.....

wasnt dragging my nutz on anything just stating a simple fact. "we" cant replenish the herd the herd replenishes itself all we can do is what we can to get REAL conservation in an area that needs it most. road closures and VERY limited hunting in these areas IN MY OPINION is what is gonna save this herd.

I could write a letter and then people could copy it and send it in. They actually did take the time to read my paper I wrote. I could also send my paper to some more news papers for some more pressure.

Here is the best plan of action. I could write a short 2 minute paper highlighting the need for permit only and road closures. Then at the WDFW public input meetings everybody needs to go and schedule their 2 minute slot and read the paper. If they go to meetings all over the state and difwrent groups of people send the same message things will change. It worked for the bowhunters in GMU 101.

Actually I believe the DFW is much more generous on the time limit- they give you a whole THREE minutes to talk.   :o  

How nice of them huh?   :rolleyes:

well, keep me posted on this letter idea. id be more than  happy to spend my time breathing down those pukes necks(wsdfg). its going to be up to us as hunters, conservationists, and outdoorsman to get this thing changed and back on track. everyone knows it will be tough, with the govn in their back pocket, but something has to change. u say its too late, i disagree. might take a number of years, but it has to be done. get it started and lets get the ball rolling

Is there any where we could get the WDFW in review by the USFW kind of like how the Seattle Police Department policies are possibly going to be reviewed? The Colockum is only a few units and I thats not the big picture. All big game in all areas of this state are dwindling and I beleive it all needs to be handled at the same time. The question is how?

No one's ever gonna get anywhere juss talking about it. You can talk all day about what plans to use and all that but it's never gonna happen unless the state approves it.

Colockum, are these road closures going to be year round? I found new gates and road closeures up their this last summer.

I surely hope so.  If they are not, the NA will harass the 7734 out of them

Who's gonna tell the indians that it is permit only? They will go in and shoot anything in there with there rifles like they did this year during archery shooting all the true spikes so none of the true hunters had a chance,when they are allowed to take any bull.
