on the islands, modern firearms are not legal so the any weapon won't work
ReplyAgree4 years agoNeed to manage wildlife for all of the population of the state not just hunters who are only 5% of the total population but dominate wildlife decisions.

ReplyAgree4 years agoAgree with all but eliminating the special draw for the 1040
ReplyAgree4 years agoWhere is the proposal to legalize the use of dogs to locate downed game??? And what about the deadhead law? It is rendered pointless after the salvage law changes

WAC 220-415-010 Deer area descriptions.
Deer Regulations: Support Proposals
Issue 1: Support Whitetail deer APR in GMU’s 101, 105, 108, 111, 113, 117, 121
Alternative #3 - 3 point minimum. Make these GMU’s match the regulation to the south. It does not make sense to complicate the matter further.
Issue 2: Support reduction of harvest of at risk whitetail does.
Let the science inform the policy.
Issue 3: Support reduction of harvest of at risk mule deer does.
Let the science inform the policy.
Issue 4: Support reducing antlerless white-tailed deer harvest in GMU 124.
Remove archery and muzzleloader general seasons.
Issue 6: Support opening GMU’s 247, 254, 262, 266, 269 to early general muzzleloader season.
Issue 7: Support eliminating all harvest of at risk mule deer in the East Columbia Gorge Mule Deer MZ.
Issue 8: Support opportunity to increase Black-tailed deer population on Puget Sound Islands.
Issue 10: Support elimination of deer area 1040.
Deer Regulations: OPPOSE Proposals
Issue 5: Oppose elimination of deer area 1021.
Make this a permit application and keep making revenue on a limited use opportunity with very low impact to a large mule deer population.

There is no reason to not have state land that offers a quality hunting experience. Increasing the tag numbers in the special draw would be a much better option than opening the wildlife area completely for deer and elk hunting. Your justification for opening the 4 0 really doesn't hold any ground as the tribal season goes for months where yours is only a week.
