    Are we lucky in some ways to be hunting in CA?

    Making lemonade… may be some truth to that. I guess in the past when I said I can’t wait to hunt CA it was after being told I was coming here. But if it were that bad compared to other places then I wouldn‘t have chosen to come back permanently.

    Great retort, better than others with the “don‘t you know who am” comments. That always impresses.

    Touche. Ok, but dont claim you responded to my comment if you instead move it off topic.

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    The commission isnt running the meeting nor deciding who is invited. It is the Wildlife Society’s meeting. I assume you know who they are, they are an NGO and can invite or not whomever they want. They CHOSE to invite two anti-hunting groups to their annual meeting. I see no point as I’ve...

    “That is your opinion, no one is arguing against it”. Good one, try reading the previous comments. The meeting we are discussing is the Wildlife Society’s annual conference which was this week in Spokane. I know the law pretty well, nothing you said applies.

    1: They are not answers to what I was asking, they are reframing their argument without actual SPECIFIC facts. 2: Yes, I meant to say include, not invite, as in there is no reason to have anti-hunting groups involved in wildlife management discusions as they bring nothing to table. They...

    You and a few people here could benefit from increasing your self awareness. Your comments generalizing all hunters and apparently thinking we all need some kind of comeuppance are insulting to many on this board. I get you and others this board are very important people in the space. It...

    Are we lucky in some ways to be hunting in CA?

    I have never hunted out of state, only hunted local to where I was a resident and don’t really have any desire to in the future, but understand others do. So I don’t really know what the nonresident opportunities are here, but I would hope you could get a deer tag down in the south here. I...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    You and others were not saying certain groups, you were saying “hunters“ have been excluding people from the meetings and such as described in the article, generalizing that all hunters have been doing this and this exclusion hurts these other groups interests and they need a seat at the table...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    No one has addressed the actual points I raised, rather they twist the discussion to something else. 1: How will inviting Washington Wildlife First and Wildlife for All help wildlife management? 2: How have hunters specifically excluded non-hunters from the outdoors? I don’t think they...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    Hunting is one thing I do; I also hike, backpack, camp, forage, fish, mountainbike, ski, do photography, stargaze, trail run… generally a lot in the outdoors, using tons of acres of state and federal lands, trails, facilities, etc. right alongside other non-hunting users including the above and...

    Are we lucky in some ways to be hunting in CA?

    So I just settled back here after living here off and on most of my life. I’ve always told people how great a state this is for the outdoorsperson, once you wade through some bureaucracy and accept spending more $ for licenses at tags compared to some states. But reading threads like the below...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    If you follow the specific discussion I was involved in regarding RAWA with a few people back before you joined it, I was using RAWA as a point regarding certain people generalizing hunters as exclusionists and who deserve some kind of comeuppance for not being more inclusive of other groups...

    Yes, from what I’ve read the numbers are crazy and luckily the effort to end bear hunting in California lost out. Which tells me the game commission is still rational.

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    I think it would play out similar to as it did here in California with mountain lions. They will quietly pay wildife services type agencies and contractors or have their own wardens kills animals to control numbers, along with issuing depredation permits to farmers and ranchers for the loss...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    I am not familiar where any person is excluded from public comment. You say most wildlife commisons, you basing that on an assumption or those you are familair with? As in literally 26 of the state commissions are only made up of hunters? True, I am only familiar with a few, but none are like...

    A brawl brewing in spokane?

    Man, read their page on “Is hunting really conservation”, seems clear what they are about. Also their “a new paradigm” page. What is interesting is their use of “public trust” in their action plan. I’ve never heard the phrase used outside hunting/conservation groups but now its being turned...
