They should be named, The Center for Doing Away With Hunting! They are the biggest threat to hunting and Conservation.
As Dr Fauci is to Covid, CBD is to Conservation! Just another group of "political" Scientist, who don't accept FACTS or REAL science.

I am pretty sure a person could say nearly anything and mine up ‘facts’ to support any claim a person would want to make to support an agenda.
It seems pretty clear what path this State is veering toward.

"Scientific efforts to inform the wdfw must be sufficiently broad and multi-disciplinary, combining all related scientific fields(e.g. biological, ecological, economic, and social)."
Sorry you can't hunt deer this year because we haven't run enough economic studies and our social science says we don't like it. This document is a true conservation tragedy.

If policies are going to be driven by “social science” does that mean wolves can identify as coyotes and us state residents can start to identify as tribal hunters?Of course it does. Why would that logic not apply to wolves like the rest of our society. I sure know our country will never have another successful draft. As long as women are not eligible for the draft I am sure we will all identify as women if and when one comes up. They’ve already proven we don’t have to have any of the correct anatomy whatsoever so why would a wolf? For that matter I could probably go shoot a moose and say it was identifying as a coyote. Since our kids get to decide it their pets or toasters or whatever that they decide they feel like that day Then I don’t see a problem with that at all

"we don't know EXACTLY how many bears there are, so we better not hunt them in the spring"

Tell every one you know. Get the word out. We need to flood the WDFW with comments on this proposal. We all know it's a bunch of hogwash filled with climate change scare tactics, and hyperbole. This needs to be shot down in it tracks. The anti's are coming hard with this, and trust me, there will be a lot of "pro-change the WDFW" comments given to fit the anti-hunting/animal rights narrative.
Be ready, be informed, and make good comments. We have to band together on this!

Until you can find a way to ensure that liberals don’t get automatically re-elected to their positions of power in this state the death spiral will continue no matter how many comments you leave.
You must get liberals to stop voting for these people! And get your friends in the unions to stop voting democrat!

These groups rarely care what the comments say. The only way to get them to listen is to remove them from their position of power. Just look how most every advisory vote says to remove the tax and yet none ever get removed.

You are probably right but I feel if I make no comment then there is zero chance they will listen. So I continue to make my voice heard. Small loud opposition has been screaming louder and it seems to be working. If there is zero opposition then I fear it will get even worse then it already is.

Left comments last nite.
Ya not holding my breath on this new policy crap.
You guys should read the comments,pretty funny I thought.

Let's make it two years already.
Give plenty of time for the anti-hunters to chime in.

Several years back I commented on the proposed hunting rule changes and even went 1 step further and attended the in person comment session in Tacoma. I asked what the online comments said on the issues and I was told there were over 50,000 comments so it wasn’t practical to review them all.
If you want to be heard go to the in person event and find the individual that has an open mind (if there is one) and get several people to keep telling them the same thing. Next you need to make sure you get something that could go viral to happen or get someone to say something that is controversial on tape to bring their credibility into question.
This is the way the liberals do it to get proposals that are not even supported by the majority through. And always claim you are a democrat that votes when asked!

If this goes into affect our fishing and hunting seasons are gone, not only the commission, but anyone or group with nefarious intentions can get seasons canceled on technicalities.
I know many of you will say that happens now, which you are not wrong, but passing this is letting the flood gates open. We will all dream of the good old days before 2023.
When submitting comments keep them professional. If you are stuck in rant mode just put something simple like “Do not approve” or “Do not adopt”.
