Washingtonians for Wildlife Conservation web site is http://www.w4wc.org This organization lobbies the state government on issues pertaining to hunting, hunting rights, and wildlife management. One of their current main pushes is to get a law passed that takes wildlife management out of the initiative/referendum process so it is based solely on sound biological science - doing that would preclude the dumb laws like those that come out of votes on initatives to stop hound hunting for bears or stop trapping.

They are conducting a fund raiser to support their "1713/Public Trust Doctrine" lawsuits that target the idea of wildlife management via initiative/referendum process - they are suing to make the case it is illegal to do that. Tickets are $1 apiece.

First prize: choice of Spirit of Washington Dinner Train for Two, Bill Stewart Signature Takedown Recurve Bow or Mossberg 835 12 Ga. in 3.5" Camo;
Second Prize: 7.5 pounds of smoked
salmon;
Third Prize: 4.5 pounds of smoked salmon.

Raffle tickets can be ordered by:

WAYNE,
After reading the website pages, consider me a new member and see my posts in the msg. board under the topic " There are Too many Blacktails". What I have written is a true fact and is going unchecked with the w.d.f.w. and needs to be addressed by this organization as nothing is being done to help the San juan Island Deer herds for the last 3 decades! R.R. a.k.a Lady Grouse-n-(Blacktail) Hunter...
