WDFW invites hunters, others to help
develop hunting seasons for 2009-11
OLYMPIA - The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is inviting hunters, conservation groups and the general public to help shape state hunting seasons for 2009-11.
Through July 13, WDFW will accept public comments on issues ranging from general hunting hours to mule deer seasons. A questionnaire on those issues is posted on the department's website at http://wdfw.wa.gov/wlm/game/seasonsetting/index.htm .
Hunters and others can also suggest their own ideas for future hunting seasons, said Dave Ware, WDFW game manager.
"This is the first of several opportunities people will have to participate in developing hunting seasons for the next three years," Ware said. "We have certain management goals that we must meet, but we want to involve hunters and other members of the public in helping us determine how best to achieve them."
Once the first comment period is over, WDFW will assess recommendations received from the public and use them in developing various season alternatives and proposed hunting regulations for 2009-11, Ware said.
In mid-August, WDFW will post those alternatives for public comment on its website and kick off a series of public meetings throughout the state. Evening meetings are planned Aug. 25 in Everett; Aug, 26 in Aberdeen; Aug. 27 in Tacoma; Aug. 28 in Vancouver, Wash.; Sept. 2 in Wenatchee; Sept. 3 in Spokane Valley; and Sept. 4 in Pasco. Specific times and locations of those meetings will be announced in July.
In March and April 2009, the Washington Fish and Wildlife Commission will take public comments and consider adopting the proposed hunting seasons.
WDFW will provide regular updates on the hunting season-setting process via the WDFW website noted above. Interested citizens can also receive updates through the mail by calling (360) 902-2515 and asking to be added to the mailing list.

Good post. I'll flipped through and later I'll fill it out. What things are you mentioning? I think I'll mention indian poaching, as well as my expectation for them to monitor the wolves in the northeast. Not quite sure how to deal with the declining mule deer on the east slope. Or the elk in the Blues... any thoughts?

Status: online Okay....... Let's see what I can remember
The good 1. They are asking if we want to try to extend the muzzeloader season opening it the last weekend in September for deer,ending the Friday before Modern rifle as it is now.
2 they are asking if we want toto expand the number of GMU's open to muzzeloaders in general season
3 they are asking if we want to bring muzzeloader equipment {scopes, modern weapons) up to date
That's it for the good
Now SOME of the bad
1 They are asking if we want to make the Colockum area a "true spike" onl
y. (which I could live with)
2 They are asking if they should close more roads in the area
Not even mentioning how badly the cover in the area has been raped by DNR logging.OR Poaching OR indians
3 They are asking if we want to make the Colockum area a special permit ONLY area.
I talked to a man in Yakima a couple weeks ago that told me the the second two were not even being considered
4 They are asking if we should raise the special App. fee to from $25- $50 per application
5 They are asking if they shoud limit the number of hunt choices we can put in for (Now limited to 4) to 4 or Less than
6 They are asking if they should set aside a pool of SP's for Non Residents ONLY Mind you Non residents pay ten times as much for everything in fees.
Does that one not smack of REVENUE grabbing? As does #4
That is just a few of the ideas they are putting out there..... And mind you this is on the net so anyone can give thier opinions that could make hunting as hard and expensive on us as Possible, if they don't happen to agree with hunting.
I have sent this to ALL in my address book who would be concerned about it and put it here also.
My hope is that all will respond and post to let us know they have
As you can see there will be 6 meetings throughout the state for us to attend an do what we can to make our feelings known to the wildlife commission, which as many as possible should attend.
Last time I did one of these....they adopted just about everything i spoke out against.
