A group of sportman from Washington State consisting of Josh Caple, James Forslund of Bear Country Outrdoors, Joel Swecker of Black River Taxidermy Will Christison Mike Herz of the American Bear Foundation Washington Chapter, Dane Czarneki, are joined by CommissionerJohn Lehmkuhl for the Washington State Department of Fish and Wildlife for a discuission to clear up a lot of questions and concerns that alot of hunters and anglers in the state of Washington Have with the current climate with the current commision. John agreed to give some of his time to better help create more transparency and discussion between commissioners and the people of the state. This was, I believe a productive conversation and a very civil one while still hashing out some differences. For those who are interested in any studies or topics discussed there are links below as reference.
