Picture yourself here. Bob Cromwell of Sammamish, Washington was a successful moose hunter in 1999. He hunted in GMU 117 north of Chewelah. In 1999, 33 moose permits were issued and 28 hunters were successful. This year (2001) 8,623 people applied for the 92 available permits. The level of interest in moose hunting continues to climb.

 

 

 

Game Management Plan Input Needed

The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) will soon be conducting a public survey, using a statistical sample of licensed hunters, about current issues on hunting and game species management. This information will be used to develop game management plans for major species and species groups. Public input is necessary to guide the department in developing policies and strategies for harvest, population and habitat management through the year 2008. If you receive a survey, please take the time to express your opinion.
