They published it several months back, right after special permit results were posted. It should still be no problem filling a cow tag down there though.

Pretty sure it hasn't happened yet. But it is being considered. Haven't heard of a single report of it actually being verified!

The Weyerhaeuser security guy that I bumped into on the 3100 line on Monday stated that WDFW had already began culling animals. I don't know why he would make a statement like that if it wasn't true.

Negative. I'm sure I could find it with some searching. It was posted and talked about on here as well.
