This all shows that what a mess WDFW is in several programs. The radical "Greeners" (for lack of a better term) are going all out to stop hunting for sure. Long ago the Commission worked fairly well. But back then it was made up of hunt

Be interesting, and ugly, to see the results as well as just what was on the various documents saved. I tend to think that there is a rather organized effort to eliminate consumptive use, like the initiative being spread around Oregon. I believe

Thurston does signature verification, too. Never had a problem.

I have voted by mail for years but my vote is verified by signature. If you miss something ( which I did once ) you are sent a form to correct it. Vote by mail yes but it has to be verified just as Grays Harbor does not just blindly counted.

I remember when Republicans favored mail-in voting. But those were the real conservative Republicans. They were not the Trump Republicans. I think people should have a choice to vote either in- person or mail-in. If you are able and can make it to

As an update, we have used the cold smoker attachment to smoke pork and beef. Then, we switch over to the main smoker with heat and cook the meat in the smoker. Takes a while as the heat is not as intense as a BBQ or oven but does a real nice slow

As I recall, Abe won in '64 because of absentee ballots from the Grand Army of the Republic. While I would prefer, especially now as a retiree, to vote in-person as I have the time I feel I cast more informed votes when we spend days going over th

Isn't clamming a mystery? I've been a digger since I was able to use a shovel, and since I've retired have dug in at least one tide in every series until an injury slowed me down this season. Just when I thought I had it all figured out things get

C-man, Thanks for the history lesson, I didn't know some of the details about the initiation of mail in ballots. Back in the day when in-person voting was the standard, I still voted in every election by Absentee Ballot when I was overseas in the A

"I wonder when they will use drones in a real manner for redd counts?" Like C'man says, probably not feasible for creek surveys, but I started thinking a while back that they would be really good for mainstem surveys for Chinook and steelh

Nobody ever complained or tried to get rid of mail-in voting until Trump came into office. Where is fraud aver proven? After the 2020 Presidential election, 63 judges (some appointed by Trump) rules there was no widespread fraud and Trump still crie

Maybe the Rossi - Gregoire election smelled rotten to some voters, but that doesn't mean that is was. Just like some election deniers (2020) actually believe Trump won, all kinds of audits and reviews have debunked allegations of fraud. In WA, inve

Know who paid for the third recount? There was an interesting piece on FB about Oregon's mail-in ballot history. It was a bipartisan effort aimed at ensuring that rural Oregon voters had easier access to the ballot box. In rural areas, it was (at l

One of my most fun SRCT fires was down at Mission on HC. I was on shore and caught a few that were 5-10" from the edge. What I had heard for SRCT, and this was 50+ years ago, was that casting from a boat towards/ almost on, shore at high tide

That's probably true but it will be a big loss to the knowledge base of what is actually occurring in and on the streams. I must be fossilizing.

Correct on small streams but have you looked at the few streams they use as index streams now a days? Drones are GPS and camera vehicles that can darn near identfy a bump on a flea's ass. They also can cover a lot of ground rather fast. I doubt 10 ye

I think back to the election that Rossi won two out of three times, but Gregoire still became elected. King County just kept finding votes until the Queen got elected. Smelled rotten then and still does. I don't understand why anyone wouldn't want

WDG used to do steelhead surveys, at least on coastal mainstems, via helicopter. Crashed once or more. WDF used to do some mainstem surveys via fixed-wing Beavers looking for Chinook. Probably did pretty well for mainstems buy ya gotta walk small

QIN used to use a helicopter to do Chinook redd counts. Rather effective as long as it it done systematically. As all things drones are not a silver bullet but a tool. In Sweden ( I think ) a company uses drones to survey forest and from that survey
