Another year, another proposed packgoat ban...
The Washington Department of Fish & Wildlife has proposed a ban specifically targeted at packgoats. WDFW lands encompass over a million acres in Washington state, and when I spoke to a representative this morning, he indicated that this proposed ban will affect ALL WDFW land areas whether they contain bighorn sheep or not. The WDFS has provided no scientific basis for this heavy-handed, broad-reaching approach. This is unacceptable and we need to make our voices heard!
Below is the main page for the proposal which also has a link to the comment section:

All packgoats users are encouraged to comment whether they live in Washington or not. What happens in one state inevitably happens in others. However, if you live or pack in Washington, your voice will carry extra weight because this is your stomping grounds! We don't know the comment period deadline so please do not put this one off.
Let's mobilize the troops and flood their mailroom!
