The next season's hunting regulations are out -WDFW Feb 13 news release detail the process for comments with the comment period ending 3/27 when there is a "public meeting".
I encourage those of us that hunt to review those proposals.
There is a link to the all the public comments received, I took a quick at the waterfowl comments. Several were directed towards limiting or closing waterfowl hunting focusing on the issues of wastage and the unknow impact from avian flu (no hunting until that is understood). Given recent events it would not be surprising that similar types of comments are being made in other hunting opportunities.
Now is not the time folks to ignore the above threats to the sport of hunting or hoping someone else will fight for your interests.
