The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife is inviting hunters to weigh in on potential rule changes for the 2027 through 2029 hunting seasons.  WDFW noted the three virtual public meetings from 6-8 p.m. via Zoom: 

 

 

Fish and Wildfflie said the meetings are informational, with staff answering questions about roughly 60 possible rule changes now under consideration.

 

“We wanted to take this opportunity to thoroughly discuss details about the hunting rule changes we are considering with members of the public,” said Anis Aoude, WDFW game division manager. “After reviewing over 1,000 comments in an earlier public comment opportunity, WDFW has narrowed it down to about 60 proposals we are considering for this three-year season setting. We have not yet determined which of those potential proposals will move forward for the formal rule making process, and public input now can shape which proposals we consider.”

Formal public comments can be submitted online, by email or by phone starting Monday through August 30th.

 

The Department said final hunting rule proposals are expected to be released later this year.
