Comments can be emailed to commission@dfw.wa.gov with subject line something like, "January 27th Meeting: Open Public Input."
Public comment must be received by 8 am on the Thursday before the start of the Commission meeting (January 26th).
To clarify, this is not the type of petition where many people sign it before submission. Rather, it is simply a formal request.

WDFW staff recommend denying the petition, so I don't see it having a chance today.True but turning up the heat to a couple of these corrupt commissioners is completely appropriate.

The issue of spring bear hunt is complicated, the procedural/legal aspects of this process are complicated, and communicating about these complicated topics is... complicated. I do not claim 100% comprehension of these things, but I do know this:
From commissioner Baker (no vote) herself on the topic of spring bear hunt, "This issue is certainly not over."

Well that was disappointing, 3 in favor and 5 against. There is some real tension between WDFW and the commission. The commission just made a bunch of work for themselves and will have to give WDFW more direction.
Actually, I'm not sure it could have gone any better. There was never a chance of the petition being passed today, even the staff recommended denial for good reason. However, there was excellent dialogue today. Several no voters made it clear that they are open to considering management hunts using recreational hunters in the future. Both the commission and staff agreed that there is a strong need to continue conversations on providing the guidelines on what constitutes a management need for spring bear hunts.

Yes long term I think it will be good but for the immediate future it is going to be turbulent and uncomfortable for sure.Well that was disappointing, 3 in favor and 5 against.

I hate it when commissioners spew numbers just out of their head like calf recruitment has increased in the blue mountains since spring bear was cancelled. Lehmkuhl. :bash:

I stopped following their meetings when it was mentioned that spring hunting bears during their mating season was mean and we don't do that for any other species so we shouldn't do it to bears.
It doesn't really much matter after that do it :(

I have no idea. Once again they made mention it is wrong to have any hunting in the spring. Again forgetting about the spring turkey season.
She made it very clear she didn't say what she said about her ignorance of turkey hunting. Even explained to everyone on where and how to find the regulations. :rolleyes: :bash:
