So we lost one of our better seasons(Chiwawa) so it could go to a permit hunt only unit.It won't stop there.2,251 hunters put in for the 57 deer permits given out for all user groups for an income of $11,255.00.Thats enough for the Game dept to want to be greedy and take all the rest of our units and make them permit only.There is strength in numbers,but divided we will fall.The only language they will understand is to hit them in the wallet.I hope for 2012 you guys will consider this when you think you might like to play their tag game.

I have never put in for a draw and never will! It is complete crap that I cannot hunt on all government lands in the state of Washington with out having to draw for them. Oregon has gone to all draw for most hunts. It is a flat out rip off of the public's right to hunt their own animals.

Yes, the Game Depts Reasoning for "Voting" on the bear and Cougar hunting issue was"animals of Wa are owned by all state residents"How they can pull this crap off legally is beyond me.Maybe because it hasn't been challenged.I called and left a message to Dave Wares office in Olympia, but he must have bigger fish to fry, as he couldn't take the time to return calls.Maybe I'll make another call and have him call collect as the state is going broke.
