Thanks to the Washington State Bowhunters for this one.
I'm going to let this one run all weekend and end it mid-day on Monday. Mainly because I've got a whole bunch of auctions going and want to be able to handle all of them.
The Washington State Bowhunter's (WSB) Board of Directors, on behalf of membership around the state, would like to donate a "Lifetime Membership" to the WSB. We would be honored to have this added to the auction to benefit Captian Aaron Blanchard's family.
(This membership sells for $400.)
Upon verification of payment from the winner, we will pm for your information so that your "Lifetime Membership" can be processed and your welcome package sent.
We'll run this one from 4:00 today till 2:00 Monday afternoon 5/6/13.
The winner gets money to Boneaddict via paypal massivemuleys@aol.com or you can pm him for a mailing address....once that happens, he'll get hold of WSB and they will get you lined up.
Thank you and happy bidding.

Popeshawnpaul is the president and Todd_ID is the VP. Perhaps they can chime in.
Back in the 90's when I was actively attending wildlife commission meetings for our hound group the WSB guys were actively supporting bow hunting. They have been active for many years and have done well for bow hunters. :twocents:

Of course they would support education (who wouldn't) but I was wanting to know if they would support additional regulation on archery hunting such as a course like this.

We at the WSB work on a regular basis to promote bowhunting across the state. The WSB has garnered a lot of respect at the state level decision-making meetings, and we work weekly, if not daily, to better those relationships so when a season or rule is in jeopardy, then what we, as a collective voice of thousands, have to say about it is listened to very intently.
Our mission is simple:
Washington State Bowhunters is a non-profit organization established to promote bowhunter education, improve archery seasons in Washington and represent the bowhunters of Washington State. W.S.B. was incorporated in December of 1976.
How we go about achieving that mission is through a dedicated group of volunteers selflessly giving time and effort to help the bowhunters across the state. From the beginnings of the WSB with names like St. Charles, Rinaldi, Link and Burdick to today's crop of volunteers: you can rest assured that someone is fighting for the rights of bowhunters!

This might not be the place for this, but does WSB support archery education being manditory or are they pushing for it?

We have not, and likely will not, fight for mandatory bowhunter education. We do, however, strongly support the WBEP program and will continue to do so long into the future.

We have been around since 1976 and helped to get the bowhunting seasons in Washington. We have had members like Glen St. Charles, Dennis Dunn, and countless other well recognized bowhunters. However, most bowhunters think we have it pretty good so there is no need to support us anymore. Just wait until it's your season or unit that gets cut with no explanation or one without reasonable sense. That apathy is an issue we are trying to deal with. We are building a new website and it will be up soon at www.WSBowhunters.org (http://www.WSBowhunters.org). It will be a place to get a membership and get information on what matters to you in bowhunting. If you bowhunt in WA we are the group for you. If you don't like how we do things then join us, apply for a board membership, and change it.
We appreciate the support and hope to be on HuntWA soon!
