PERMANENT RULES

DEPARTMENT OF

FISH AND WILDLIFE

[ Order 13-94 -- Filed May 16, 2013, 3:30 p.m. , effective June 16, 2013 ]


     Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.

     Purpose: WAC 232-12-021 Importation and retention of dead nonresident wildlife.

     Agency reason for adoption: The amendment reduces the risk of CWD being imported into Washington state via carcasses of animals harvested in other states. Reducing disease risk helps in sustaining deer, elk, and moose hunting opportunities in Washington.


WAC 232-12-054 Archery requirements -- Archery special use permits.

     Agency reason for adoption: This amendment is intended to further the discussion on allowing illuminated nocks for archery equipment, including discussion of new technologies and consideration of acceptable fair chase and ethical standards for hunting.


WAC 232-28-248 Special closures and firearm restriction areas.

     Agency reason for adoption: This proposed amendment is part of the effort to streamline, reorganize, and update rules in the WAC overhaul project currently underway. Anticipated effects are minimal; this project involves merely rewording and clarifying a rule already in existence.


WAC 232-28-273 2012-2014 Moose seasons, permit quotas, and areas.

     Agency reason for adoption: This amendment clarifies that the exemption from the once-in-a-lifetime moose restriction is also applicable if the hunter applies in the future for a hunt in the permit categories of antlerless moose, raffle, auction, or master hunter. Additionally, this amendment reduces the number of master-hunter moose permits and reflects the expected number of hunters needed in 2013 and beyond, based on the experience of recent years.


WAC 232-28-286 2013, 2014, and 2015 Spring black bear seasons and regulations.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose for amending the 2013-15 spring black bear hunting seasons is to expand opportunity in the north Puget Sound. Spring bear hunting helps address commercial tree damage issues and provides recreational hunting opportunity. The spring black bear season allows recreational hunters to better target the areas receiving damage and allows hunters rather than contractors to harvest bears.


WAC 232-28-296 Landowner hunting permits.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose of this amendment is to expand the number of special hunting opportunities available on private lands for hunters and to maintain the number of cooperating landowners. This program encourages landowners to provide opportunity to the general hunter in exchange for customized hunting seasons and the ability to generate funding to offset the cost of providing public access.


WAC 232-28-334 Game management units (GMUs) boundary descriptions--Region four.

     Agency reason for adoption: This proposal changes the management area designation of the Puget Sound Islands from deer areas to game management units (GMUs). The proposed amendments will allow the department to better track harvest removals specific to the islands.


WAC 232-28-336 Game management units (GMUs) boundary descriptions--Region six.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose of the amendment is to designate Anderson Island as a GMU rather than a deer area. The proposed language will allow the department to better track harvest removals specific to the island, rather than having those removals lumped with a mainland GMU.


WAC 232-28-337 Elk area descriptions.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose of the amendment is to separate elk area descriptions from deer area descriptions. The proposal also removes one elk area that is no longer needed and adjusts the boundary of two other elk areas to make them more effective in dealing with wildlife conflict. Some of the language modifications in this proposed amendment are part of the effort to streamline, reorganize, and update rules in the WAC overhaul project currently underway.


WAC 232-28-342 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 Small game and other wildlife seasons and regulations.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose of amending the 2013-2015 small game seasons is to add GMU 145 to the late fall turkey season, modify the fall turkey bag-limit language, and remove the Washington Dungeness pheasant release site reference. GMU 145 was inadvertently omitted during the three-year season-setting process. The bag-limit language pertaining to fall turkey permit seasons was modified to clarify that hunters who kill a turkey during the permit seasons may still participate in the other fall seasons open to all hunters.

     References to the western Washington Dungeness pheasant release site are also removed under the western Washington pheasant seasons, as the landowner has decided to no longer allow use of the area for upland bird hunting.


WAC 232-28-357 2012-2014 Deer general seasons and definitions.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose of this amendment is to retain general-season deer hunting opportunity, providing recreational deer hunting opportunities, and protecting deer from overharvest. The purpose is also to balance the hunting opportunity between user groups; increase opportunity when deer populations allow; and reduce opportunity when declining deer numbers warrant a change.


WAC 232-28-358 2012-2014 Elk general seasons and definitions.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose of this amendment is to retain general-season elk hunting opportunity. The purpose is also to balance the hunting opportunity between user groups; increase opportunity when elk populations allow; and reduce opportunity when declining elk numbers warrant a change.


WAC 232-28-359 2013 Deer special permits.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose of this amendment is to retain special-permit deer hunting opportunity. The purpose is also to balance the hunting opportunity between user groups; increase opportunity when deer populations allow; and reduce opportunity when declining deer numbers warrant a change.


WAC 232-28-360 2013 Elk special permits.

     Agency reason for adoption: The purpose of this amendment is to retain special-permit elk hunting opportunity. The purpose is also to balance the hunting opportunity between user groups; increase opportunity when elk populations allow; and reduce opportunity when declining elk numbers warrant a change.


WAC 232-28-622 2012-2014 Bighorn sheep seasons and permit quotas.

     Agency reason for adoption: This is a new section of rule that used to exist in WAC 232-28-273. In this new rule, the hunting permits for the Blue Mountain area were reduced to decrease pressure on a herd that is experiencing a disease problem, and increase the chances for a high quality ram, taken from this herd by the winner of the Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep raffle.


WAC 232-28-623 2012-2014 Mountain goat seasons and permit quotas.

     Agency reason for adoption: This is a new section of a rule that used to exist in WAC 232-28-273. In this new rule, the language was changed to reduce ambiguity regarding who may apply for a mountain goat permit; remove inconsistency between the WAC, pamphlet, and instructional letters sent to permit holders; and clarify hunting unit boundaries for mountain goats in the Mt. Baker area.


WAC 232-28-624 Deer area descriptions.

     Agency reason for adoption: This is a new section of a rule that used to exist in WAC 232-28-337. This new section separates deer area descriptions from elk area descriptions to improve the clarity of these rules. The proposal also removes the Puget Sound islands that were previously described as deer areas. The department is proposing that those islands be described as GMUs in the future. Some of the language modifications in this proposed amendment are part of the effort to streamline, reorganize, and update rules in the WAC overhaul project currently underway.

     Citation of Existing Rules Affected by this Order: Amending WAC 232-12-021, 232-12-054, 232-28-248, 232-28-334, 232-28-336, 232-28-337, 232-28-342, 232-28-357, 232-28-358, 232-28-359, 232-28-360, 232-28-273, 232-28-286, and 232-28-296.

     Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.12.047, 77.12.240, 77.32.070.

      Adopted under notice filed as WSR 13-03-152 on January 23, 2013.

     Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: WAC 232-12-021 Importation and retention of dead nonresident wildlife.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:

• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.
• In the first sentence of subsection (2), the term "mountain sheep" was changed to "bighorn sheep" to clarify the intended species, Ovis canadensis, commonly known as bighorn sheep.
• Due to detection of CWD in 3 deer from two counties, Pennsylvania was added to the list of states with importation restrictions for harvested deer, moose, elk or parts thereof.

WAC 232-12-054 Archery requirements -- Archery special use permits.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:


• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.

WAC 232-28-248 Special closures and firearm restriction areas.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:


• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.
• The first sentence in subsection (3)(b) was altered to read as follows: "Except for special permits issued by the department for nonendangered deer and elk, this area is closed to all deer and elk hunting to protect the Columbian whitetailed deer."
This exception was added because the department is required to issue damage permits to mitigate agricultural damage and also the proper terminology for Columbian whitetailed deer should be used.
• Subsection (3)(c) was eliminated. Subsection (3)(c) specifies certain areas of a federal wildlife refuge that were not open to big game hunting. This information is now obsolete. The areas that will be open on the refuge in the future will vary from year to year. Rather than attempt to codify these future closures, over which the fish and wildlife commission has no purview, the department will direct hunters to contact the wildlife refuge directly to get the most up-to-date information.
• Subsection (4)(c) was altered to read as follows: "Walla Walla Mill Creek Watershed (GMU 157): All lands in the Mill Creek Watershed are designated as a "CLOSED AREA" to the hunting of all wild animals, including wild birds. The only exception is for deer or elk hunting by holders of GMU 157 special deer or elk permits during the established open season."
WDFW currently offers both deer and elk special permits for GMU 157 so the clarification needs to be made what big game hunting access is allowed.
• Under Island County GMUs 420 and 421 were added. These islands are newly created GMUs, but their firearm restriction designation hasn't changed, so they need to be added to the firearm restriction section as GMUs.
• Under King County GMU 422 was added. This island is a newly created GMU, but its firearm restriction designation hasn't changed, so it needs to be added to the firearm restriction section as a GMU.
• Under Pierce County GMU 655 was added. This island is a newly created GMU, but its firearm restriction designation hasn't changed, so it needs to be added to the firearm restriction section as a GMU.
• Under San Juan County GMUs 411 (Orcas), 412 (Shaw), 413 (San Juan), 414 (Lopez), 415 (Blakely), and 416 (Decatur) were added. These islands are newly created GMUs, but their firearm restriction designation hasn't changed, so they need to be added to the firearm restriction section as GMUs.
• Under Skagit County GMU 419 (Guemes) was added. This island is a newly created GMU, but its firearm restriction designation hasn't changed, so it needs to be added to the firearm restriction section as a GMU.

WAC 232-28-273 2012-2014 Moose seasons, permit quotas, and areas.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:

WAC 232-28-286 2013, 2014, and 2015 Spring black bear seasons and regulations.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:


• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.
• Addition of Longview Timber Lands to the portion of GMU 418 that is designated as the hunt area by DNR, Sierra Pacific and Grandy Lake Timber Company. This is due to Longview Timber Lands requesting their lands be included in the bear hunt.

WAC 232-28-296 Landowner hunting permits.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:


• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:


• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.

WAC 232-28-336 Game management units (GMUs) boundary descriptions--Region six.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:

WAC 232-28-337 Elk area descriptions.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:


• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.
• Elk Area 3068 Klickitat Meadows was eliminated because ownership of the property has changed. The new owners will not be allowing access for this hunt.
• Modify boundary language for Elk Area 6069 Hanaford as proposed. The old boundary included an active logging operation road that some hunters were traveling on which had become unsafe. This new boundary should reduce that potential conflict.

WAC 232-28-342 2012-13, 2013-14, 2014-15 Small game and other wildlife seasons and regulations.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:

These proposed changes convert some of the island deer areas to GMUs. The listed GMUs used to be deer areas or they were deer areas that lived within a GMU and are now proposed to be stand-alone GMUs. This conversion will help with harvest data specificity.
• Under Western Washington Black-tailed Deer, Early Muzzleloader, GMU 655 should be added to the any deer category for dates Sept. 28 - Oct. 6 for 2013 and Sept. 27 - Oct. 5 for 2014. This change corrects an error in the original filing of the WAC.
• Under the late muzzleloader general season, for western Washington black-tail, any deer, GMUs 411-417 and 419-422 were added and Deer Area 4926 was removed.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:


• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.
• Under True Spike Bull Antler Restrictions, the wrong GMUs are listed that have the True Spike Restriction. GMUs 145-154, 162-186, 249, and 336-368 should be deleted from the True Spike section and replaced with 251 and 328-335. This change corrects an error that was created by the WAC overhaul process.
• To address increasing damage problems, under Early Archery, Western Washington, remove GMU 407 from the "3 pt. min. or antlerless" section; and create a new hunt as follows:

WAC 232-28-622 2012-2014 Bighorn sheep seasons and permit quotas.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference:


• Several technical amendments were made throughout this section to improve the clarity and accuracy of the rule.
• The number of permits for Cleman Mountain A hunts was changed from 6 to 5.
• The number of permits for Cleman Mountain B hunts was changed from 6 to 5.
• The number of ram permits for the Cleman Mountain herd has been temporarily high over the past few years, as a strategy to balance the sex ratio (which had, because of previous translocations of ewes, been imbalanced toward rams). That strategy is now evidently working, and the ram: Ewe [ram/ewe] ratio is becoming balanced. Thus, it is appropriate to begin gradually reducing the ram permits to [so] that [they are] in line with the game management plan.
• The number of permits from Mt. Hull A has changed from 1 to 2. The Mt. Hull A herd has increased; recent counts suggest it is fully capable of sustaining an additional ram permit.
• The Tieton A and Tieton B hunts were removed. Due to a pneumonia outbreak, the Tieton sheep herd population will not be able to sustain any harvest.
• The Sinlahekin hunt was removed. The removal of the hunt is due to the documented harboring of Psoroptes mites. This appears to have had a role in reducing lamb recruitment in 2012.

• Under subsection (2)(b), the last sentence was struck because it is a "suggestion" rather than a rule.
• The hunt area description for Goat Rocks was modified to correct boundaries references.
