Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 232-28-515; amending WAC 232-12-047, 232-12-051, 232-12-054, 232-12-055, 232-12-068, 232-12-828, 232-28-248, 232-28-266, 232-28-272, 232-28-273, 232-28-282, 232-28-291, 232-28-294, 232-28-295, 232-28-333, 232-28-335, 232-28-336, 232-28-337, 232-28-342, 232-28-351, 232-28-352, 232-28-353, 232-28-354, and 232-28-516.

Adopted under notice filed as WSR 09-03-111 on January 21, 2009.
Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:
WAC 232-12-051 Muzzleloading firearms.
| | In the last sentence in subsection (1)(a), insert the word "all" between "in" and "muzzleloading." This change helps further clarify that weapons intended for modern smokeless powder have never been allowed under the restrictions. |
| | In subsection (2)(d), insert the word "small" between hunting and game. Delete the words "birds," "cottontail rabbits," "and," and "snowshoe hares." In this section related to muzzleloading shotguns, the term "small game" is more appropriate and less exclusionary. |
| | In subsection (2)(g), insert the word "percussion" between "powder" and "revolvers." This change clarifies the intent. The intent is to not disallow a current legal activity through the process of clarifying the WAC language. |
| | In subsection (3)(a), replace the words "covered or closed" with the word "enclosed." Based on input provided by enforcement, "covered or closed" would disallow some equipment that is currently allowed and that is not the intention of clarifying the WAC. "Enclosed" is better terminology. |
| | Under subsection (3), add after the word "protection" the following: "if that person possesses a concealed pistol license as defined in RCW 9.41.070." This change addresses the issue of a more limited approach to allowing handguns for personal protection to those who qualify for a concealed pistol license. |
| | Under subsection (1)(a), add after the word "protection" the following: "if that person possesses a concealed pistol license as defined in RCW 9.41.070." This change addresses the issue of a more limited approach to allowing handguns for personal protection to those who qualify for a concealed pistol license. |
| | Under subsection (1)(e), change the second sentence from: Disabled hunter permittees in possession of a crossbow special use permit may hunt with a crossbow. |
| To: | |
| This adjustment clarifies that disabled hunter permittees may hunt with a crossbow during any season that allows archery equipment. |
Under subsection (2), change from:
(2) It is unlawful to hunt deer or elk during the modern firearm early and late general seasons in any manner unless the hunter is wearing fluorescent hunter orange clothing.
To:
(2) It is unlawful to hunt deer or elk during the all
modern firearm early and late general seasons in any manner
unless the hunter is wearing fluorescent hunter orange
clothing.
This change is to clarify that all general seasons are affected. Some hunters may have been confused about the meaning of "early and late..."
WAC 232-12-062 Party hunting.
Change the WAC language from:
Party hunting is defined as killing big game or turkeys which another person tags, killing big game or turkeys with the intention of having another person tag the animal, or tagging a big game animal or turkey which another person has killed.
Party hunting is illegal for big game and turkey, except for hunters with disabilities and their designated hunting companion as defined in WAC 232-12-828.
To:
Party hunting is defined as shooting at or killing big
game or turkeys for another which another person tags, killing
big game or turkeys with the intention of having another
person tag the animal, or tagging a big game animal or turkey
which that another person has killed.
Party hunting is illegal for big game and turkey, except
for hunters with disabilities and their who have a designated
hunting companion as defined in WAC 232-12-828.
This change is to address an attempt to kill another person's game as well as actually killing it. The edit to the hunters with disabilities section is for clarification.
WAC 232-12-068 Nontoxic shot requirements.
| | Change 2010 to 2011 to reflect an extended phase-in period. |
| | Eliminate references to hunting "game animals" and "big game" to focus the phase-in of nontoxic shot on upland bird, dove, and band-tailed pigeon hunting on units where Washington department of fish and wildlife (WDFW) releases pheasants. These areas have higher hunter densities and a higher potential for lead shot ingestion by birds, predators, and scavengers. |
| | Add Fort Lewis, Belfair, Woodland Creek, and Lincoln Creek release sites to complete the listing of areas where WDFW releases pheasants. |
Under Firearm Restriction Areas, after the first sentence, add the following sentence:
"Exceptions to firearm restrictions may be made through rule by the Fish and Wildlife Commission." This change provides the flexibility to the fish and wildlife commission to deal with wildlife damage on a case-by-case basis.
WAC 232-28-272 2009 Black bear and 2009-2010, 2010-2011,
and 2011-2012 cougar hunting seasons and regulations.
| | Change the WAC title from: |
| WAC 232-28-272 (( |
|
| To: | |
| WAC 232-28-272 (( |
|
| The change is due to public input supporting the August portion of the fall bear seasons for 2009 to the maximum extent possible within biologically sustainable limits. The department plans to recommend the 2010-2011 fall black bear hunting seasons to the fish and wildlife commission in March 2010. | |
| | Change: |
| 2009-2011 Fall Black Bear Seasons | |
| To: | |
| 2009 |
|
| The change is due to public input supporting the August portion of the fall bear seasons for 2009 to the maximum extent possible within biologically sustainable limits. The department plans to recommend the 2010-2011 fall black bear hunting seasons to the fish and wildlife commission in March 2010. | |
| | Delete GMU 204 from hunt area for Northeastern B and add it to hunt area for Northeastern A. The reason for the change is for consistency of season dates among adjacent GMUs. |
| | For tables showing cougar seasons: Change the "Hunt Area" in each table from: |
| Hunt Name | Hunt Area |
| Coastal Puget Sound North Cascades Columbia Basin |
GMUs 418, 426, 437, 448, 450, 460, 466, 485, 501, 504, 506, 530, 601-621, 636-651, 658-663, 672-684, 699, 407, 410, 454, 624-633, 652, 666 |

WAC 232-28-273 2009-2011 Moose, bighorn sheep, and
mountain goat seasons and permit quotas.
Under Bighorn Sheep Permit Hunts:
| | Change the permit level for the Cleman Mountain A bighorn sheep hunt from 4 to 3. This change is due to recent lower counts of mature rams in the population. |
| | Change the permit level for the Cleman Mountain B bighorn sheep hunt from 4 to 3. This change is due to recent lower counts of mature rams in the population. |
| | Change the hunt name of Quilomene A to Quilomene. This change is because the A designation is no longer necessary. |
| | Add the following hunts: |
| Naches Pass | Sept. 15 - Oct. 31 | Fife's East, Fife's Peak, Corral Pass, Basin Lake | Any Legal Weapon | 1 |
| Bumping River | Sept. 15 - Oct. 31 | Nelson Ridge, Cash Prairie, American Ridge, American Lake, Timber Wolf, Russell Ridge | Any Legal Weapon | 2 |
| Blazed Ridge | Sept. 15 - Oct. 31 | Blowout Mtn., Blazed Ridge, Blazed North, Milk Creek, Rock Creek | Any Legal Weapon | 1 |
| | Add superscript "a" to the "permit" column and change the associated language from: |
| Mountain goat populations are managed as a collection of subpopulations and the ideal harvest is distributed through all the subpopulations. The director is authorized to open or close subpopulations to protect from overharvesting specific areas. | |
| To: | |
| Mountain goat populations are managed as a collection of subpopulations and the ideal harvest is distributed through all the subpopulations. The director is authorized to open or close subpopulations and reduce permit levels to protect from overharvesting specific areas. | |
| This change is to allow flexibility for biologists to reduce permit levels if necessary due to overharvest. | |
| | Delete the last sentence under bag limit: |
| Bag Limit: One (1) adult goat of either sex with
horns four (4) inches or longer. WDFW urges hunters
to refrain from shooting nannies with kids. |
|
| | Insert superscript "b" after table heading "Permit Season." |
| | Insert footnote "b" as follows: "bPermit hunters may start hunting Sept. 1 with archery equipment." |
| The reason for the changes is that the language associated with the archery component of the goat season was incorrectly placed under the Bag Limit heading, but it belongs as a part of the permit season table. |
| | Change the MH footnote from: |
| "MHThis is a damage hunt administered by a WDFW designated hunt master. Only master hunters may apply, except master hunters who have harvested a moose previously in Washington state may not apply; these hunts will not affect accumulated points; and any weapon may be used. Successful applicants will be contacted on an as-needed basis to help with specific sites of moose damage on designated landowner's property. Not all successful applicants will be contacted in any given year depending on moose damage activity for that year." | |
| To: | |
| "HMThis is a damage hunt administered by a WDFW
designated hunt master. Only master hunters may
apply |
|
| The reason for the change is to clarify that master hunters may apply even if they have harvested a moose previously in Washington state and the master hunt program may be used for nuisance activity as well as damage. | |
| | For the Mt. Spokane Master Hunter moose hunt, change the permit level from 10 to 20. The reason for the change is to address the increasing number of problem moose in Spokane. |
Under Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep Auction or Raffle Permit, add GMU 166 to the list of hunt areas. This change is because of the increased number of mature rams in the population.
WAC 232-28-287 2009-2010, 2010-2011, and 2011-2012 Cougar
permit seasons and regulations.
For hunt area in the Kittitas-Yakima hunt, change from "GMUs 328, 329, 342-368" to "GMUs 328-368." The reason for the change is to correct for GMU omissions.
WAC 232-28-291 Special hunting season permits.
| | Under section 2.A., change from: |
| A. Persons who have previously harvested a mountain goat, bighorn sheep, or moose in Washington are ineligible to apply for a special hunting season permit for that species. This lifetime harvest restriction does not apply to individuals who harvested a mountain goat before 1999, raffle or auction hunt authorizations, or antlerless-only moose hunts. | |
| To: | |
| A. Persons who have previously harvested a mountain goat, bighorn sheep, or moose in Washington are ineligible to apply for a special hunting season permit for that species. This lifetime harvest restriction does not apply to individuals who harvested a mountain goat before 1999, raffle or auction hunt authorizations, ewe-only bighorn sheep hunts, master hunter moose hunts, or antlerless-only moose hunts. | |
| The reason for the change is consistency in requirements between this section and WAC 232-28-273 2009-2011 Moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat seasons and permit quotas. | |
| | Under section 5.C., change from: |
| C. Special hunting seasons for hunters age 65 and older: Only applicants sixty-five years of age or older on or before March 31 of the current license year will be eligible to apply for special hunting season permits for hunters age 65 and older. | |
| To: | |
| C. Special hunting seasons for hunters age 65 and older: Only applicants sixty-five years of age or older on or before March 31 of the current license year will be eligible to apply for special hunting season permits for hunters age 65 and older; except for special moose hunts for persons age 65 and older, applicants must be 65 years of age or older by November 30 during the license year they are applying for. | |
| The reason for the change is consistency in requirements between this section and WAC 232-28-273 2009-2011 Moose, bighorn sheep, and mountain goat seasons and permit quotas. |
In the table describing legal animal, the rule said any legal buck and any legal bull. Some general seasons (e.g. many archery seasons) allow any deer or elk; therefore, we are recommending a change in the wording of the table to reflect what is legal in these seasons.
WAC 232-28-295 Landowner hunting permits.
Under Pine Mountain Ranch LHP Special Hunting Permits (public opportunity) for deer, change "Any Bull" to "Youth Only, Any Bull." This change is based on a negotiated agreement with the landowner.
WAC 232-28-335 Game management units (GMUs) boundary
descriptions -- Region five.
| | In order to correct a long-term error, the reference to the 80 Rd was removed from the GMU 560 legal description as shown below: |
| Beginning on SR 141 and Mount Adams Recreational
Area Rd at the town of Trout Lake; N on the Mount
Adams Recreational Area Rd to |

| Deer Area 1035: Created new deer area to focus hunting pressure of white-tailed deer onto private property along the Highway 395 Corridor. This is an experimental hunt in an area with a high number of vehicle-deer collisions to see if reducing the deer herd through hunting might also reduce collisions. | |

| | Elk Area 4601: Replace the entire description to provide a clearer description language for a new Elk Area. The new language has been confirmed on site by regional staff and will be more readily discernible for hunters. |
| Elk Area No. 4601 North Bend (King County): | |
| That portion of King County within the following described boundary. Beginning at the interchange of State Route (SR) 18 and Interstate (I)-90; W on I-90 to SE 82nd St, Exit 22, at the Town of Preston; N on SE 82nd Street to Preston Fall City Rd SE (Old SR 203); N on Preston Fall City Rd SE to SE Fall City Snoqualmie Rd (SR 202) at the town of Fall City; E on SE Fall City Snoqualmie Rd to the crossing of Tokul Creek; N and E up Tokul Creek to its crossing with Tokul Rd SE; S on SE Tokul Rd to SE 53rd Way; E on SE 53rd Way where it turns into 396th Dr SE then S on 396th Dr SE to SE Reinig Rd; E on SE Reinig Rd to 428th Ave SE; N on 428th Ave SE to where it turns into North Fork Rd SE; N and E on North Fork Rd SE to Ernie's Grove Rd; E on Ernie's Grove Rd to SE 70th St; N on SE 70th St. to its ends at Fantastic Falls on the North Fork Snoqualmie River; SW down the North Fork Snoqualmie River to the end of Moon Valley Rd SE; S and W on Moon Valley Rd SE to where it turns into SE 87th St; W on SE 87th to 436th Pl SE; S on 436th Pl SE to 436th Ave SE; S on 436th Ave SE to SE 92nd St; W on SE 92nd St to 428th Ave SE; S on 428th Ave SE to the crossing of the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River; S and E up the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River to SE Mt Si Road; E on SE Mt Si to the "School Bus" turnaround at SE 114th St; S on 480th Ave SE to SE 130th St; S and E on SE 130th St to its end; SSE overland from the end of SE 130th St, over the Middle Fork Snoqualmie River, to the end of 486th Ave SE; S on 486th Ave SE to the intersection with SE Middle Fork Road; Due S, from said intersection, up Grouse Mountain toward its peak, to the logging road adjacent to Grouse Mountain Peak; S down the logging road to Grouse Ridge Access Rd; W on Grouse Ridge Access Road which becomes SE 146th St; W on SE 146th St to 468th Ave SE (SE Edgewick Rd); S on 468th Ave SE (SE Edgewick Rd) to the boundary of the Iron Horse State Park; W along the boundary of Iron Horse State Park to the boundary of the Rattlesnake Lake Recreation Area; W along the boundary of the Rattlesnake Lake Recreation Area to Cedar Falls Rd.

| | Deer Area 5064: After "Cottonwood Island," add "and Howard Island." This change corrects an omission to the original boundary description and will help direct hunters to the entire area intended for the hunt. |
| | Add "2012" to the season dates for Bobcat, Raccoon, and Fox. The seasons run through March 15, 2012, and the 2012 date was an omission. |
| | Add "Male turkeys" to the definition of Legal Bird for spring seasons. The intent of the regulation is to harvest male turkeys and turkeys with visible beards. In the original draft, the term "gobblers" had been removed and not replaced by "Male turkeys." |
| | Under GMUs Closed to Deer Hunting, reinstate 490 (Cedar River). Further discussions are being conducted with the land manager. An open season for deer is being delayed until 2010. |
| | Under Modern Firearm, General Season, Black-tailed Deer, Oct. 17-31, any deer, add Deer Area 6020. This change corrects an omission in the CR-102 filing. |
| | Under Modern Firearm, Eastern Washington White-Tailed Deer, GMU 379 appears in both any white-tailed buck as well as any white-tailed deer. Delete GMU 379 from any white-tailed buck. This correction removes a redundancy. The agency is not managing for white-tailed deer in this GMU and wants to retain a liberal season for any white-tailed deer. |
