Exactly what people were complaining about earlier in the year and were waiting for the comment period thats what
Okay, well what was that? I'm not a mind reader. I was curious what specifically the OP was referring to. Fact is there are many issues people complain about, but the problem is none of us agree on what the most important issues are and what the solutions are.

:yeah:
That is huntings biggest problem.
I sure hope people gave some thought to "solutions". I tried to offer up some help in the form of solutions, rather than add to the complaint pile......not that I didnt complain too. :chuckle:

I agree. What about doing something on here where we could narrow it down to our top 3,5 or whatever and then presenting our solutions and submitting that? I know it would take a lot of work that someone or group would have to spear head but it would be the most efficient IMO.

From longer cougar seasons (year around would be best IMO), general season spring bear across the State, delisting the wolf wherever the Feds say we can delist them, allowing decoy dogs for coyote hunting, and any other ideas that people can come up with to put a dent in the amount of predator that are eating away the deer, elk, and moose populations.
That's pretty much what I told them in the survey. Problem is, I bet a lot of anti hunters have done the survey and told WDFW that they want better predator protection in place.......... :bash:

Predator control (or lack thereof) is probably one of the biggest issues that WDFW needs to address.

No other single point can bring hunters to agreement, or gain more support. Unfortunately it isn't pushed enough.

WDFW NEWS RELEASE
Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife
600 Capitol Way North, Olympia, WA 98501-1091
http://wdfw.wa.gov/
December 12, 2013
Contact: Wildlife Program, (360) 902-2515
Public comment sought on
state game management plan
OLYMPIA - The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is conducting a public opinion survey to help identify key wildlife issues to be addressed in the department’s 2015-2021 Game Management Plan.
The information gathered from the survey will help WDFW update its current plan, originally developed in 2003 and updated in 2009. The plan guides the long-term management of game species, and is used to develop three-year hunting packages that set annual regulations for hunting seasons.
The survey is available on WDFW’s website through Jan. 3 at http://wdfw.wa.gov/conservation/game/2015/ . Paper copies of the survey also are available by contacting the Wildlife Program at (360) 902-2515.
"The public’s involvement is essential in creating a comprehensive and effective game management plan," said Dave Ware, WDFW game division manager. "We look forward to hearing from people as we go about updating this plan that will guide game management priorities."
The opinion survey addresses a number of game management issues, including:
• Hunter recruitment and retention
• Hunting regulations
• Land access for hunting
• Wildlife conflict
• Habitat enhancement
• Questions directed at specific species
Once the survey results are analyzed, WDFW will incorporate them into a draft plan, which will go out for public comment next spring. The plan will be considered for final approval by the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission next summer.

Was anyone notified while taking the poll that they had selected more than 10 issues? My buddy said that he selected waaaayy more than 10 :dunno:
No, I was not. There was no way of knowing how many you had selected. I probably selected around 20.
As Special T said, they should have let you see the entire list of options at one time, so that you could choose your top 10.
I'm not sure I've ever seen a more useless survey- total joke!
