I wish he had posted meeting topicshttp://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations/seasonsetting/index.html (http://wdfw.wa.gov/hunting/regulations/seasonsetting/index.html)
An online “Scoping Survey,” will be used to solicit input on major issues and options to address those issues. These issues will be discussed at four public meetings held around the state in late August.
Issue Scoping Guidelines
Under the Governor’s Rule Moratorium changes to regulations that are not necessary for
conservation or that have not been specifically requested by those who are being regulated
(hunters) should not be submitted for consideration during this three-year package. Examples of
issues that will be considered include:
Types of Issues that Will be Considered
1. Issues that reflect important conservation and management concerns;
2. Issues that address a specific strategy identified in the Game Management Plan;
3. Landowner Hunting Permit proposals: contracts will be expiring this year so they will need to be
updated and any new proposals need to be included during this process;
Issues that are Not Considered to be Important for Conservation or Management
1. Do not submit an issue that may result in excessive harvest and an inability to meet population
objectives (see WDFW’s Game Management Plan);
2. Changes to auction, raffle, and incentive permits;
3. Changes to Game Management Units;
4. Trapping regulations;
5. Special closures and firearm restriction areas;
6. Mandatory reporting regulations;
7. Equipment regulations (we plan to recommend a couple of technical edits to crossbows);
8. Damage prevention permits;
9. Hunting hours;
10. Hunter orange; and
11. Major shifts in allocation between archers, muzzleloaders, modern firearm hunters
