I think I know how WDFW is going to react, and it rhymes with “no.”

Here’s to hoping though.

Washington will probably try to ban cougar hunting. They can't let colorado out do them.

It’s a two year old article.

Clearly wdfw and the commission did not follow this and went the opposite direction.

Good catch 92. I missed the date on the report. Although we are still having issues with the cougar and wolf populations here in the blues.

Spoke to a USFWS biologist a few years ago duck hunting. Stated that the Blues were the BEST elk habitat in the United States. Has everything. And also stated nobody in Olympia would listen tho them re: enhanced predator control.

A myriad of problems for elk in that corner of WA. Your biggest and best bulls are getting hammered from august-February

The only good hunting left in Washington is predator hunting.
