Totally agree with you Drifter WA, but if sports aren't going to keep them, the commercials shouldn't either. No king retention should mean no king retention for the state side of the user groups, and if WDFW was cognizant of and working towards "everybody getting along" they would have the commercial fleet releasing all kings if nothing else to remain consistent and not create ill will between the user groups they manage.
