The governor says he’s directing the commission to get public comment before putting the higher quotas in place.

Interesting, public comment trumps biologists research reports now huh, we'll have to remember this precedent.How much or what kind of public input would be acceptable for overriding a biologist, though? Local to the area, as in the NE and the wolf problem? Hunters-some of which are also long time locals, like in the Methow and the doe tag issue? Just kind of curious. I talked to a bio last Nov and he was spewing the WSU cougar BS and predator love; so IMO I wouldn't want him making any cougar decisions.
I doubt they'll have any problems getting the public to comment in support of raising the quota.... Unless their town halls are all in Olympia.
the huggers must've mentioned the E word to him.......election
"In April, the commission increased the cougar harvest rate in 14 areas of the state as a way to ease tensions in communities dealing with wolves.The governor says he’s directing the commission to get public comment before putting the higher quotas in place."Are you kidding me?? So because we have wolves in our state we should kill more cougars? I'm all for cougar hunting but that is such a stupid ass reason to raise the harvest.
