We Can't loose the ability to feed our wild life.

[Archeryoutfitters]

We are going to loose some of our rites we have here in Washington if we could be a joined force with a hand full of good leader we might have a fighting chance they took out, hound dogging, and Bear baiting, and trapping, because we Hunters and outdoors-men could not over come our shallow way of thinking.

It is just them guys, not us we don't do that or hunt like that, but it is chipping away at all of us, if we could ever come together and join forces we would be a force that couldn't be manipulated and chipped away at a little at a time. till we end up falling or weakening and loosing our strength. it is in all of our best interest to come together, i know i am new to this Forum, it is a GREAT thing for us. and i think that if we all could get a few more loyal hunters (Friends) to join it could easily double in size with no effort at all from us.

What i am talking about here is being able to feed the game, (with the expedition on bear and turkey) and being able to give all the supplements we do there are 1000's man made salt/mineral licks that are renewed each year, out there that benefit all the big game and litterly  1000's of tons of hay each season spread all over the mountains that help a large # of animals make it through the winter after being run ragged in the beading season that wouldn't make it or be easier pray,

It also allows us to be very selective on what we harvest as well. I am new to the forum but i'm sure there would be some Great Leaders on here, I would be on board 100% in helping back them any way possible! as i am sure a lot of you would.Thanks for reading this Brian

WE have very active organizations that lobby for increased Bow hunter opportunities and to stop the WDFW (or do our best to) from taking away what we currently do have.  They are the Traditional Bowhunters of Washington (see Dale I gave you top billing!), the Washington State Archery Association(I am the Hunting VP), and the Washington State Bowhunters.  These 3 organizations have developed an "Archery Coalition", which is board members/members of each organization that meet at a minimum of quarterly to discuss and achieve a "UNITED VOICE" to then lobby the WDFW for gaining increased Bowhunter opportunity, and to sustain what we currently have.  In fact we held a meeting yesterday, and we are addressing a few major items that we feel need to be corrected/achieved for the current season setting process that the WDFW is doing.  This season setting process will set the hunting dates and GMU's for the next 3 years.  FOr more info on this proces please go here:

Is it about being able to feed them or being able to bait them?

[h20hunter]

Slow down there B. I'm not sure what you are talking about. What rights are you referring to? Are you speaking of something specific? It was hard enough to read let alone understand. Help us out here, slow it down, use punctuation, and be a bit more clear.

I think he's venting

One such organization is Washington for Wildlife. Our numbers have almost doubled in a month and there's a specific committee for archery, as well as one for legislative action. We currently have a list of questions out to the two announced gubernatorial candidates which will tell us how they feel about guns and hunting. Creating a whole new organization when we have one already active seems like a waste of time to me. If any of you reading this haven't joined WFW, you can sign up here for free: http://www.washingtonforwildlife.org/cgi-bin/oc/register.cgi

Join and add to our strength and success. The WDFW already knows who we are and that we're well represented.

Also...is ArcheryOutfitters a sponsor? Looking to promote something here? The pics look like advertising to me. Some sweet bucks for sure.

[jackelope]

Archery Outfitters is not a sponsor. I think he is looking into it with Bearpaw. I agree re: the pics. Lots of trail cam pics.

Hello I am working on it with Dale now, as far as advertising goes? it is nothing personal but i take out very few Washington hunter,( only moose or special permit holder) just because i don't want to take a chance of hunter or there friends/family returning to my hunting areas i have lived her my whole life, and good privet areas hard to come by.
I am on here just having fun and sharing and getting some good information and advice from the members. If you feel i over step any boundaries please let me know. Thanks Brian
