The idea that we only open hunting to residents of the county where they live  is just another idiotic idea to trash the hunters in this state. Next Jay and his minions will want to study the idiotic idea for years. That way they can pretend they are doing something about the problem. The head of the WDFW needs to go to Jay and DEMAND that he restore hunting and fishing immediately. If that fails the Director should resign immediately and then go on national TV and explain what a low-life Jay is and why Jay is just being part of the resistance against anything Trump. Time for someone to earn their paycheck for real instead of riding the backs of those that hunt and fish.

I can tell you that we said that we do not like the idea of opening to the county you reside in.  It should be consitent fir the whole state.  If you open turkey season it is open for all.  Consistency was brought up quite a few times.  There is nothing that has been done during this that has been consistent.  Like boating allowed but not fishing.

No discrimination is being treated differently for something you can’t control, it’s on you if you live somewhere you can’t hunt.

 Wrong!
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

That's pretty much the problem.  The state said, "hey, there are too many people on the lakes, rivers and woods now that many people aren't working."  So, they picked on one user group and shut it down to fishing and hunting.  Everyone else can go except recreational hunters and fishermen.  The state picked winners and losers instead of a consistent policy to address the virus issue.

We should be yelling even louder if they try to further pick winners and losers among our community.  The resources, land and opportunity belong to us all.

Nowhere for at least 12 days.  I'm on the fence, probably depends on when it opens and what the weather is like.  The early opener this year was going to be great because it may have been ahead of the migration, but that's out the window.

Anyway, didn't mean to hijack the thread.

Theres no realistic way to enforce it anyhow. Whats going to happen, the very few game wardens that work in the state are magically going to be in every forest checking peoples place of residence? I highly doubt it. If it even gets ordered it'll be a "feel good" regulation like limiting magazine size or gun free zones.

Ineez said they're going to look at the data this week and see of he can open the aforementioned restrictions. What’s the over/under? I say 30% chance he opens and 70% he keeps the outdoors locked down.

Like clockwork Trump had a press conference immediately after Insleez. He said he is gonna open National Parks and federal land. That’s exciting.
