i would like to get involved in this, im not sure how much i can help but i do have some old info that i dont believe is available anymore on the wdfw site. i think what we need to do is compose a well written and professional artical and try to get it published as much as possible. i know from the report i did it was quite easy to show that the population estimates are not accurate and manageing them the way we are know is not effective. if i was able to change the minds of my classmates at one of the most liberal colleges in the state, i think we have a good chance at changing the minds of others that we need some major changes in controlling the lion population. from my, although some what small, expeirence in discussing this topic with the non-hunting community is that they will support us to a certain extent if properly informed. getting the wdfw involved would be the next step, but i think we should start out with informing the public and getting responses to show our game dept that this is an issue that needs to be addressed
I would love to see what you have. I dont know if you have seen the poll going on in Washington for Wildlife section but what you are talking about is exactly what we are looking for and we would love the help.
