They don't care anymore about getting the regulations out on time or anything else that benefits hunters. Sad to day the WDFW is not a pro hunting organization anymore.
Don’t they still need to adopt the regs? The next commission meeting isn’t until April 18-20.

If they do make a last minute change which they probably won't it should be very quick and easy. They ask us for our opinions to make us feel involved, but really they are gonna do what they want anyway.

I realize that, but typically the regs come out about a week after they are adopted, and the permit submission period opens about a week after the regs come out. Just seems really late.

Thanksgiving this year is going to be later.

And the Director's Hearing was 26 March - so i'm thinking maybe 2024 regs/seasons will get finalized soon...by the director? Did anybody listen in on the 26 March meeting to confirm this is how it will work?
