Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: WAC 232-28-02203 Game management units (GMUs) -- Special game areas -- Boundary descriptions -- Region three. Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference: None.

WAC 232-28-02204 Game management units (GMUs) -- Special game areas -- Boundary descriptions -- Region four. Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference: In the GMU 426 Diablo description all of the geographic abbreviations were spelled out to be consistent with the other boundary descriptions.

WAC 232-28-02206 Game management units (GMUs) -- Special game areas -- Boundary descriptions -- Region six. Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference: None.

WAC 232-28-260 Special hunting seasons. Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:

	Subsection (5)(a) delete "is not" and insert "are." This makes it consistent with WILD system requirements.
	Subsection (5), delete subsections (5)(b) through (5)(d). The change is because, given the WILD system, a valid license and transport tag are required to submit a special permit application.
	Subsection (7)(b), delete the complete sentence "To qualify or a black bear drawing..." and replace with "To qualify for a black bear drawing, all applications must be submitted no later than 12:00 a.m. on March 18 of the year of the drawing." The change is because licenses are not available for purchase until March 1.
	Subsection (7)(f)(ii), changed the word applicant to application; for clarity.

WAC 232-28-271 Private lands wildlife management area seasons, rules, and boundary descriptions. Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:

	In the Merrill and Ring (PLWMA 600) Pysht Tree Farm Deer General Seasons on Private Lands Wildlife Management Areas table: Changed the Modern Firearm season dates from November 18-21 to November 15-18. This was changed at the request of Joe Murray, Merrill and Ring.
	In the 2001 Mule and Whitetail deer table for Buckrun Limited: Changed the Access Quotas from 100 to 150, this quota will provide greater flexibility in meeting population objectives.
	In the 2000 Mule Deer Buckrun Limited Population Control Deer Hunting table: Eliminated the whole table to reduce hunter confusion.
	In the Merrill and Ring 2001 Blacktail Deer table: Deleted the word "Raffle" from the title and eliminated the sentence starting with - Only hunters possessing a valid..., and replaced it with the sentence starting with - Hunters must possess a valid... This change was necessary to reduce hunter confusion regarding Merrill and Ring raffle hunts. Also the Raffle Season dates for the Pysht North B hunt were changed from October 1-9 to October 1-10. This day was added at the request of Joe Murray, Merrill and Ring. In the table under Pysht North D, delete the word raffle. Delete the Pysht Tree Farm hunt.
	In the Merrill and Ring 2001 Elk table: Changed the wording in the Special Restriction column from - Raffle, Any Elk, Any Tag - to Any Bull Elk, Any Weapon. This change was made at the request of Joe Murray, Merrill and Ring.
	In the PLWMA 201 - Buckrun Limited Area Description: The description was proposed to be eliminated, to ensure legal certainty we will retain the PLWMA legal description.

WAC 232-28-275 Black bear special permit season and quotas. Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:

Eliminated the Harvest Report Cards section; to be consistent with the draft mandatory reporting system.

In the section: "Who May Apply," delete new language and replace with: Who May Apply: Anyone with a valid Washington big game license which includes black bear. The change will allow WDFW to use the new WILD system for the spring black bear application and selection process. Given the WILD system, applicants must have a valid license and transport tag to purchase and submit a spring black bear application.

WAC 232-28-277 Big game and wild turkey auction permits and raffles. Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:

	Add headings for 2001 and 2002-2003 auction permit hunts; for clarity.
	Add original language for 2001 auction permits for elk, sheep, and moose; added because contracts have already been established for auctioning these permits.
	Add language for 2001 deer and mountain goat auction permits; for clarity.
	Change wording for open season dates for 2002-2003 auction and raffle permits; for clarity.
	Add language for weapon restrictions for 2001 and 2002-2003 auction permits for Westside elk, moose, and mountain goat; for clarity.
	Add sheep unit 14 (Swakane) to hunt area for 2002-2003 bighorn sheep auction and raffle permits; added because the number of mature rams is increasing.
	Add headings for 2001 and 2002-2003 raffle permit hunts; for clarity.
	Add original language for 2001 raffle permits for deer, elk, sheep, and moose; for consistency with 2001 auction opportunities.
