Not sure what you are asking here. I frequent Lake Terrell and would rather not have people hunting there and disturbing wildlife that I am out there to enjoy seeing.
The mapping of this game reserve is not shown anywhere. I have tried accessing it at the unit headquarters and it is not posted there. The legal description is difficult to understand without a map!
Although I am not apposed to some game reserves, it is very difficult to find maps of exact boundaries. For example, I can’t find any map on the department website or other location showing the boundaries of the game reserve at the south end of Banks Lake.
I continue to advocate for a spring blue grouse season (males only). I primarily target Sooty Grouse. If the fall grouse opener is pushed by
two weeks, that’s not really recompensed by adding two weeks in January, since the high county is snowed out by then (ie it’s simply a two week reduction of realizable opportunity). A short spring season would make up for that lost opportunity, while not risking
poult groups (which was the stated concern of WDFW in proposing the fall new season opener).
I agree with GMA changes, But eliminating the use of electric decoys for Washington state under the ideas with Bob Harriman and the borderline bass and contenders Is unfair.
The department should consider the possibility of spring time snow goose hunts on private farmlands where the migrating snow geese have historically caused significant crop damage. Farmers should have the ability to apply for and obtain permits for this type of season.
"Anticipated effects associated with this amendment would be increased hunter participation, increased hunter retention, and ensuring a clean and ethical kill." I support clean and ethical kills but not attempts to increase hunter participation and hunting.
There is way more in this proposal than it seems if you only read the Purpose Statement. Needs to be broken-down more specifically. It is unfair to stake-holders to lump all of these together, imo.
