I agree with the idea of license suspensions for the chromic violators. The state actually started down that road with their Snow goose quality hunt program on Fir Island in Skagit county. There if one is convicted of one of several violations they lost their permit.

While it is probably that WDFW would need to get some sort of legislative approval to go for with such an approach. However that should not stop folks from pushing for that sort of action.

It is funny that you should bring this approach, earlier this week I was at a WDFW meeting where discussion of compliance in the western Washington Pheasant program came up and I suggestion this very approach to get the point across to those knot heads who just don't seem to get the message or just don't care. The agency response was as you would have expected.
