For those who have offered their "no one listens" opinions in this thread I ask if you attended any of the Washington's Wild Future initiative meetings? I did and it was packed with concerned citizens to include non-hunters/fishers (glad the fire department wasn't there counting heads). Here is a link where you can get the summary of comments: http://wdfw.wa.gov/publications/01768/wdfw01768.pdf. They definitely heard that NOF is a broken process.

And here is a link to the Commission's agenda for its 10/11 June meeting in Olympia: http://wdfw.wa.gov/commission/meetings/2016/06/agenda_jun1016.html. Note that they have three opportunities for general public comments; early and late on Friday and early on Saturday which is a short session. I think it would be very appropriate for the Commission to host an after action session with the Department staffers and stakeholders to try and clear the air over some of the ongoing perceptions (right or wrong) of how we (again) seem to have taken the short end of the stick.

Finally, here is the email link to the Commission: commission@dfw.wa.gov as well as the "Contact Us" webpage: http://wdfw.wa.gov/commission/contact.html.
