So, my understanding is that the policy is guidance and must be read and implemented in consideration of and in compliance with pertinent State laws and Federal court decisions.

So, yes, I think WDFW has the authority (and responsibility) to set seasons to adhere to those operational parameters.


All policy decisions by the Commission are guidance only. WDFW can follow or not it simply a choice be political ramifications weigh in heavily. To be binding the Commission would have to place the policy in a WAC, which they can do should they choose too.
