Thank you.

Good suggestion, I don't believe the guys at THFWA have the time or experience to put that together tho. And I don't have any experience either. Also, I think go fund me and the other sites charge a percentage. That money could go directly to the fund instead. What we need is a way to get the message out to everyone. That is the hard part. This board is fantastic, great people and a lot of concerned sportsmen, but it only reaches a tiny population of sportsmen. Even with that, if everyone who has viewed this post donated $25, we could have raised $39,395 to help. It's not even 2% now.

Everyone knows, court cases are expensive. That's why the side with the most money has an advantage. The THFWA lawyer is VERY GOOD at what he does. And he does a lot of work pro bono. But filings, dispositions, interviews and the rest cost. The more money they can raise, the better case they can present. That is the truth of litigation in America.

Anybody with fund raising experience is more than welcome to lend a hand.

It would be a tragedy for the State to simple kill this by making it run out of money.

Does the Wdfw have a gofundme for there legal fees to fight this? Or are Sportsmen paying that bill as well?

WDFW will pay for it out of GF and License fees. Probably can't use Federal monies or local (mitigation) funds. The rest is probably fair game. Still wanna buy that license?

Burned through some money today, but got a couple of round one victories!

What really erks my nerves is that wdfw has set up a second meeting about sturgeon regulations, which they are striving for the publics opinion for.
But when it comes to pacific salmon/steel and the tribes.
We are left in the dark with the NOF process when us sportsman are a huge part of their funding. Then when the regs come out we all sulk and are disappointed.
Here is an idea. The state should have all of their collected information and have regulations set before its license renewal time. So people can pick and choose what to purchase due to lack of opportunity out there.
I'm sure that will never happen. The state will collect our money first then we are left baffled year in year out. Seems a little bassackwards to me.
