Just my $.02, but I would encourage all who put in spring bear permits to boycott the areas owned by Rayonier. I am at a loss why hunters should do that company a service by performing bear damage control when , on the other hand,Rayonier has gone to a land lease program for so much of their holdings in Grays Harbor County.
In addition, WDFW should NOT be patrolling these leased properties which are only accessable to leaseholders. Let Rayonier foot the bill by providing their own security.
Would it help if you knew that we (hunters) are not killing enough of the bears doing the damage? Did you know that Rayonier did not aproach F&W for this "service". Actually F&W aproached Rayonier to provide "oportunity" to hunters. Would you want leaseholders poaching animals that could potentially move to a non leased area?
I understand your frustration, just think about the whole picture to find a solution.
