The past several years have brought major changes to hunting in my home state,Washington.

We can longer use hounds for bear, cougar, or bobcat.

No bait can be used for the above critters either,

No body gripping traps for any animal- essentially trapping has nearly been eliminated.

This has got to send the message that it can happen anywhere!

We need to all stand up for all, even if we don't use or agree with the method. But by the same token, I don't feel the need to praise some guy for shooting a captive elk (also illegal in my state).
