I utilized the Shared Values program WDFW LE is intiating and contacted Capt. Dan Chadwick about the issue. He sent me the following reply:



" I spoke with Mike Scharpf who was already aware of this issue. He and I discussed pamphlet language for next year. For this year, Mike has put together a summary (attached) to clarify the intent. The issue of clarity surrounds the availability of space in the pamphlet each year, but as we discussed, if we need to articulate a rule for clarity then we need to argue for more space.

Mike said we could post this summary on the pursuit page. He is posting it at various locations around the area. Thank you for alerting us to this and wanting to help get the message out. "

...and the information below. My computer skills are somewhat lacking in trying to move an Excel file to a Word format so it is pretty choppy. I'm trying to get a better copy. Will edit if I get it.
