Great advice. I will do that and hopefully everyone else will too. Keep the ideas and names to barrage with emails coming. Maybe none of us have all the answers but collectively we might.

I completely disagree with the premise of this post (especially, the title):  "Never again" is a silly statement.

I won't post a link (against forum rules), but do your own Google search.  November 20th, 2022 article in the Wall Street Journal, describing how the Democratic governor, Phil Murphy, has just restored the statewide bear hunt (six day season), AFTER he had used executive authority to ban bear hunting.  (Animal rights groups are howling now, as you would imagine.)

Do you see the point?  Even a Democratic governor, who had previously bent under the pressure of animal rights groups and had banned bear hunting, can change his mind, when confronted with the facts of damage caused by bears.

Stop being so negative, and do something, if you really care about this issue.

Are you advocating a new governor,cause inslee is a lost cause. Inslee is not gonna overturn this.
Does new York have a Commission or is DNR in charge of game.

How?

How do you remove them?

My suggestion is to put pressure on Kevin van de Wege and the rest of the Natural Resources committee that confirms WDFW Commission appointees.

I’ve emailed him a number of times over the past year but never received any kind of a response. Maybe if more of us do so he might start paying attention.
I agree with the idea but lf I remember right Lorena has never officially confirmed

If you want spring bear hunt back then, bear hunters have to get together!  What you have to do is start a campaign, write your state reps, the governor and fish and game!   You need to keep writing till they give in and reopen it!  You need to pester everyone who you think and some who you don’t think can do anything.  The more noise you make and being a pest up to the point short of harnessing  then they will do something!  Remember the squeaky wheel gets the grease!  Anti-hunters this is their favorite terriost move to get what they want!  Use it against them!  Individual complaining will not get any of you anywhere,  they will just say what a bunch of crybabies!  Band together and stand together and make your want known!

I agree 100%. Please, as a fellow bear hunter I want to push everyone who reads this to call the governors office and leave a voicemail. Be kind but straightforward. Tell him what you want and how much it means to you. Tell him the 2022 general population survey for Washington came back with a 75% approval rating for legal, regulated hunting in this state. Tell him to focus on creating opportunities rather than taking them away.

I have been following the WDFW commission for the last 2 years. I sent a few emails here and there but never really wanted to call. Frankly I didn’t think I had anything to say and I was afraid of being put on the spot or putting myself on the spot. Well, I have called Jay Inslee 2 times in the last week. I have a reason that is important enough and I think the rest of us do to.

Jay Inslee is directly responsible for the members on the WDFW commission. He has assigned the recent anti hunting members without first consulting the numerous conservation agencies active in our state. Seems like a pretty good person to start calling…

How did I miss this
I can't believe the WA people voted for this.
The bears are a strong hold now and forever......................not lol.........
I mean…the people of Washington didn’t knowingly vote exactly for this. But every vote for Inslee as governor is what lead directly to this.



Yes that.  :yeah:

With all due respect. That’s a cop out and you are stonewalling this conversation with politics. If you don’t participate, don’t complain.
