Purpose of the Proposal and Its Anticipated Effects, Including Any Changes in Existing Rules:
WAC 232-12-021 Importation and retention of dead nonresident wildlife.
Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: The proposed change reduces the risk of importing deer, elk, and moose carcasses from states with chronic wasting disease (CWD) without first being properly processed. Adds the state of Kansas to those states and provinces that trigger additional deer, elk, and moose carcass processing requirements for Washington hunters. Maintains up-to-date restrictions on the importation of deer, elk, and moose from states known to harbor chronic wasting disease in wild populations.
Reasons supporting proposal: Protect native deer, elk, and moose populations from disease threat.
WAC 232-28-273 2006-2008 Moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat seasons and permit quotas.Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: This rule amends 2007-2008 seasons and permit quotas for moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goats. The purpose of the rule is to maximize recreational hunting opportunities for these species while meeting the population and recreational objectives for each herd as indicated in the game management plan. The rule changes include minor statewide permit level changes for moose (+3 permits), bighorn sheep (+1 permits), and mountain goats (+2 permits). The anticipated effect is that populations will either remain stable or increase.
Reasons supporting proposal: Recommended adjustments in permit quotas are based on meeting population objectives for each species as indicated in the game management plan.
WAC 232-12-289 Official hunting hours for game birds and game animals.Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: Modification of hunting hours will be consistent with federal and state rules adopted in 2005 and 2006.
Reasons supporting proposal: Starting in March 2007, effective dates of daylight savings time in the United States will change. Modifications of official hunting hours in the amendment address these changes. In addition, official hunting hours in Grays Harbor County were amended to conform to the remainder of Goose Management Area 3.
WAC 232-28-295 Landowner hunting permits.Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: The proposal identifies permit levels and season dates for landowner hunting permit (LHP) program participants for the 2007 hunting seasons. Permit levels have changed on existing LHPs and hunting opportunity is proposed with two additional LHP cooperators in Yakima and Benton counties.
Reasons supporting proposal: The proposed permits are consistent with the commission's policy on the private lands hunter access program. They will result in general public hunter access on private property and will help mitigate deer and elk foraging on private agricultural lands.
WAC 232-28-335 Game management units (GMUs) boundary descriptions -- Region 5.Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: A change in road names requires an adjustment in boundary descriptions for GMU 554 Yale and GMU 556 Toutle. GMU boundary rules define legal hunting areas. The GMUs need readily discernable boundaries to direct hunters to appropriate hunting areas. Season dates, bag limits, antler restrictions, and other hunting season regulations are typically specified at the GMU scale. The GMU boundaries are not being changed.
Reasons supporting proposal: The proposed boundary language move will maintain the accuracy of these boundary descriptions.
WAC 232-28-351 2006-2008 Deer general seasons and definitions.Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: Deer general seasons are set on a three-year basis and may be adjusted annually in response to deer population changes and damage complaints. Changes made to this WAC will: Adjust deer seasons for 2007 in response to deer population changes and damage complaints; provide for recreational harvest; help to reduce agricultural damage; and provides for population control of deer where needed.
Reasons supporting proposal: Provides recreational, deer hunting opportunity and protects deer from overharvest. Addresses deer damage problems.
WAC 232-28-352 2006-2008 Elk general seasons and definitions.Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: Elk general hunting seasons are set on a three-year basis and may be adjusted annually in response to elk population changes and damage complaints. Changes made to this WAC will: Adjust general seasons for 2007 in response to elk population changes and damage complaints; provide for recreational harvest of elk; help to reduce agricultural damage; and provide for population control of elk where needed.
Reasons supporting proposal: Provides recreational, elk hunting opportunity and protects elk from overharvest. Addresses elk-caused agricultural damage problems.
WAC 232-28-353 2006 Deer special permits.Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: Deer special permit seasons are assessed annually and adjusted annually in response to deer population changes and agricultural damage complaints. Changes made to this WAC: Adjust special deer permits for 2007 in response to deer population changes and damage complaints; provide for recreational harvest of deer; help to reduce agricultural damage and provide for population control of deer where needed.
Reasons supporting proposal: Provides recreational, deer hunting opportunity and protects deer from overharvest. Addresses deer damage problems.
WAC 232-28-354 2006 Elk special permits.Purpose of the proposal and its anticipated effects, including any changes in existing rules: Elk special permit hunting seasons are assessed annually and are adjusted annually in response to elk population changes and damage complaints. Changes made to this WAC will: Adjust special hunting season elk permits for 2007 in response to elk population changes and damage complaints; provide for recreational harvest of elk; help to reduce agricultural damage; and provide for population control of elk where needed.
Reasons supporting proposal: Provides recreational, elk hunting opportunity and protects elk from overharvest. Addresses agricultural damage caused by elk.
Reasons Supporting Proposal: See Purpose above.
