Wow that is a low turn out for the meeting, but the word is out about the survey and those numbers seem high for replies. One thing that they mentioned at the Federal Way meeting was the trouble they had getting information to hunters. Their press releases rarely make the newspapers, WDFW sends them to the papers but they get buried at the back if the paper even runs them. Sites like this post alot of the information that gets released but not every hunter belongs to this site. Dave Ware said that there we about 200,000 hunters and he said they had 50,000 emails addresses in the data base. The 200,000 hunters seems low but if that number is correct then 25% having email seems pretty good to me and he said that was the best way they had to get information to the hunting community.
