On a side note.
Sounds WDFW is working on a management hunt.
You guys with points will most likely get tags first.
Probably take a few years to clear out points.
I have a feeling a management hunt will continue.
The amount of tags will be way less then what the spring bear hunt ever was.
Spring bear hunting just went oil tag.
Most of us will never see one.
I rather piss in the wind,then have piss down my back.

Someone probably already pointed this out on this thread, but all three of the newest commissioners (Rowland, Ragen, and Lehmkuhl), appointed by Inslee voted against the spring bear hunt. I'm sure that was just coincidence.

For those of you who would like to write a civil and polite email to the commissioners, here are their email addresses.

Voted to ban spring bear hunting: Barbara.Baker@dfw.wa.gov, John.Lehmkuhl@dfw.wa.gov, Timothy.Ragen@dfw.wa.gov, Melanie.Rowland@dfw.wa.gov, and Lorna.Smith@dfw.wa.gov

Voted against the ban of spring bear hunting: Molly.Linville@dfw.wa.gov, James.Anderson@dfw.wa.gov, Donald.Mcisaac@dfw.wa.gov, Kim.Thorburn@dfw.wa.gov

If you choose to send an email to one or more of the commissioners, to express your feelings about their vote, please don't forget to thank the commissioners who voted against the ban on spring bear hunting, especially my personal hero- Kim Thorburn (she is awesome)

What are the education of the ones who banned spring bear? Are they knowledgeable about wildlife and all that goes with it? Or just bought and paid for like Jay?

This page details a little about the Commission member's backgrounds.

I sent each of them individually a fairly customized letter stating my opinions on how they voted. While they may fall on deaf ears, it's the least you can do to thank the commissioners who voted to protect the hunt. I'm sure they could use some encouragement.

Knowledge may not count for as much as ideology in some cases.
