WDFW is seeking input on use of the Methow Wildlife Area. Please take some time to do the survey. With the increased use by non hunters we need to be heard or we stand to loose opportunity.

We all need to take this survey and hold no punches in our comments as their last comment was something like
Thank you for Takeing this survey and something about a pilot program for Wdfw managed lands.
Can almost see the writing on the walls restricted use maki g the areas a safe zone similar to the Big Valley area and hunting and trapping really restricted if not prohibited all together.

Gary
One does not hunt in order to kill; on the contrary, one kills in order to have hunted. If one were to present the sportsman with the death of the animal as a gift he would refuse it. What he is after is having to win it, to conquer the surly brute through his own effort and skill with all the extras that this carries with it: the immersion in the countryside, the healthfulness of the exercise, the distraction from his job. ~ Jose Ortega y Gasset

I thought I should post this here because in this discussion on then10 year plan they mention that the Methow is the pilot program for the 10 year access program. The video meeting is  not overly interesting or useful except that it is source for my statement. If we are to fight what is a access reduction program it has to be done in the valley.

Filling out the survey. Not really sure what to say under negative experiences.
Sure I have had some run ins with rude bicyclists and hikers, but the worst infractions have been from fellow hunters.
Not sure I wanna mention the accidental shooting I drove up on or the archery hunter that insisted we drive slower on the 5225 because he was hunting from his SxS...
I think Ill leave it blank haha

Hell I almost killed the Olympic skier from that area, she was on her pavement skies going north on east chewach rd I was going south just past the ranch yard that splits the rd, sun was in my eyes couldn’t see a thing until the last moment then I swerved to miss her. And I wasn’t speeding, if I would have hit can’t imagine the hell I would have gone thru.🤯
