https://m.facebook.com/groups/875337566494224/?ref=group_browsePlease join this group and take it seriously. There's no reason we can't boycott this state while still voicing our opinion. Washington obviously cares about special interest greenie groups more than hunter's, conservation and actual science, but above that they care about revenue. In my opinion, the only way we see change is if we hit them in the wallet.
I'm not so sure they did, 1000's of hunters filled out the public comments and did their part during the public comment period. One zoom meeting was deliberately set during peak hunting season to purposefully disenfranchise hunters, and they set their vote based upon that, they loaded up that meeting with anti's while hiding it from prohunting, they totally ignored all the earlier comments submitted to public record. These were illegal shenanigans being pulled here

It reads like a battle of the .orgs and HW'rsBHA made a strong showing, kudos to those folks maybe HW'rs need a code so we can virtually fist bump one another for comments This vid has a lot of scrolling, it would take way too long to go through each comment
I could not find that, it seems totally ignored.

They made a mockery of entire process as well as parliamentary procedures. I guess only verbal comments matter. I'll dig for the staff report mostly out of curiosity. I'm not sure I've ever seen such public disregard for staff advisors, much less the advisory committee (gmac).

Parliamentary procedure is a thing and it’s a thing for a reason. If they ignored it, it seems there’d be validity in questioning the whole process. I have crappy cell service and can’t get the video to play where I’m at.

That for sure guarantees your not going kill a bear or two in the fall or a cougar. You also will no longer going to have skin in the game. How likely are you to stay engaged in what’s happening if you aren’t keeping some skin in the game.They’ve made it easy to attend these meetings via zoom, sportsman need to get more active and engaged.Lots of guys are upset about losing opportunity but how many guys are going to kill some bears in the fall. You can still make a sizable difference in the predator population but most guys aren’t going to do anything about it.
