Interesting video. Some serious deep state type of skirting the rules to push a hidden agenda.

Towards the end of the video I like how they point out this can (and is) being done in other states. A lot of them. I wish them luck with their lawsuit and future lawsuits they be filing.

Thanks for posting , humptulips.

25 years or so ago I personally heard Kurt Schmidt (sp?), the Director of the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, say; "contrary to a popularly held idea, it is not the job of the Department of Wildlife to manage wildlife, but to manage people".
When I heard that, I knew that the management of wildlife in Washington was doomed.

That's ironic,because about that long ago I heard a biologist from our DNR say the exact same thing

It is actually kind of true. Active management would require them to get in the game. Most wildlife management consists of managing the human harvest.
