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

     Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: WAC 232-28-331 Game management units (GMUs) boundary descriptions -- Region one.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference: Changed the word Rd to Trail in the last line of the GMU 172 description. This change was made to correct a typographical error.

WAC 232-28-337 Deer and elk area descriptions.

     Changes, if any, from the text of the proposed rule and reasons for difference: Add the following language to define islands in Puget Sound as Deer Areas.

     &sqbul;     Deer Area 4010 (San Juan County) That part of GMU 410 made up of all of the islands in San Juan County.

     &sqbul;     Deer Area 4011 (Island County) That part of GMU 410 made up of Camano Island.

     &sqbul;     Deer Area 4012 (Island County) That part of GMU 410 made up of Whidbey Island.

     &sqbul;     Deer Area 4013 (King County) That part of GMU 454 made up of Vashon and Maury Islands.

     &sqbul;     Deer Area 4014 (Pierce County) That part of GMU 652 made up of Anderson Island.

     The islands of Puget Sound present a unique wildlife management challenge that includes relatively high deer densities, extensive human development, and limited access opportunities for hunters. Defining these islands as Deer Areas allows the department to develop creative hunting season structures that can be applied to specific islands that may not be appropriate at the larger GMU scale. Staff was still working through these issues with county governments, citizen task groups, and local sports groups at the time the CR-102 was filed. The consensus solutions that the department and the other vested entities are working toward will require the development of these new deer areas as a first step.

WAC 232-28-282 Big game and wild turkey auction, raffle, and special incentive permits.

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

     Under turkey raffle permit hunt section:

     &sqbul;     Change the number of permits back to 2 from 1. Statute allows up to 15 raffle opportunities and we were below that level.

WAC 232-28-284 Spring black bear seasons and regulations.

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

     In the permit table:

     &sqbul;     Hancock Forest Management would like to continue spring bear season. So the following line was added to the permit table.

Kapowsin Southa

That portion of GMUs 653 and 654 that is designated as Kapowsin South by Hancock Forest Management
