Washington has had a pilot cougar hunting program for years, and now our own state legislature is try to expand it. Washington lost all big game hound hunting in 1996 and it has been a disaster for cougar and bear populations, The WDFW claims that Washington now has more bear per acer than any other state in the lower 48. And there are cougar every where. The mule deer populations have plummeted in the eastern cascades and the elk have been struggling as well.

I sure hope it passes but these thing rarely do. :cry:

Senate bill 5356 passed yesterday with a surprising 37 yeah, 11 nae vote. But were not out of the woods yet our liberal democrat governor can still veto the bill.
The senate rewrote the bill to extend the existing program for five more years instead of giving control back to the wdfw. And now it will be illegal to guide cougar hunts with hounds in the program.
