PERMANENT RULES
DEPARTMENT OF
FISH AND WILDLIFE
[Order 20-76—Filed June 1, 2020, 4:47 p.m., effective July 2, 2020]
Effective Date of Rule: Thirty-one days after filing.
Purpose: Within the context of Washington department of fish and wildlife's (WDFW) mandate to preserve, protect, and perpetuate wildlife and provide hunting opportunity for game species, these rules set the 2020-21 game hunting seasons and regulations. The department maintains general hunting opportunities while balancing that opportunity among user groups. Harvest estimates from 2019 were used to make final allocation adjustments to maintain sustainable hunting opportunities for the 2020-21 season.
These rules also adjust hunting area boundaries, modify seasons in response to changes in game animal populations, and provide clarifying language. Additionally, WDFW is repealing WAC 220-413-200 as it is no longer necessary.
Citation of Rules Affected by this Order: Repealing WAC 220-413-200; and amending WAC 220-410-050, 220-410-060, 220-412-050, 220-412-070, 220-412-090, 220-412-100, 220-413-180, 220-415-020, 220-415-030, 220-415-040, 220-415-050, 220-415-060, 220-415-070, 220-415-120, 220-415-130, 220-416-010, 220-416-040, 220-416-060, and 220-440-060.
Statutory Authority for Adoption: RCW 77.04.012, 77.04.055, 77.12.047, and 77.12.240.
Adopted under notice filed as WSR 20-04-091 [20-07-016] on February 5, 2020 [March 5, 2020].
Changes Other than Editing from Proposed to Adopted Version: WAC 220-413-180 Special closures and firearm restriction areas: We removed Kittitas County and associated reference to GMU 334 from the list of Firearm Restriction Areas. This area closure and GMU 334 were originally established for consistency with Kittitas County Code related to using high powered firearms during deer and elk hunting seasons; however, it has become increasingly difficult to align our GMU boundary definitions with the firearm closure in County Code while meeting our management needs at the same time. Removing the reference to Kittitas County in conjunction with GMU 334 helps alleviate confusion for landowners and the hunting public.
WAC 220-415-030 2019 Deer special permits: We adjusted the season dates for 16 quality special permits, 10 buck special permits, 15 youth special permits, and 1 hunter with disabilities permit; adjustments were made to either align or avoid overlap with general season dates. WDFW finalized our harvest estimates from the 2019 hunting season, which were used to finalize allocations among GMUs and user groups, and adjustments were needed to balance hunting opportunities.
WAC 220-415-050 2018-2020 Elk general seasons and definitions: We eliminated the opportunity for archery hunters to harvest antlerless elk during early and late general seasons in the Colockum and Yakima elk herds. WDFW finalized our harvest estimates from the 2019 hunting season, which were used to finalize allocations among GMUs and user groups, and adjustments were needed to balance hunting opportunities.
WAC 220-415-060 2019 Elk special permits: We reduced the number of special permit opportunities to harvest antlerless elk in the Colockum and Yakima elk herds and created special permit opportunities for archery hunters to harvest antlerless elk in the Colockum and Yakima elk herds to offset some of their lost general season opportunity. WDFW finalized our harvest estimates from the 2019 hunting season, which were used to finalize allocations among GMUs and user groups, and adjustments were needed to balance hunting opportunities. We also collaborated with treaty tribes to set permit numbers for Nooksack, Skagit River, and Green River GMUs and removed Region 4 North GMU.
WAC 220-416-060 2019-2020 Migratory waterfowl seasons and regulations: We shifted the placement of the mandatory two-day duck season closures to coincide with days ten and eleven of the duck season statewide. The two day closure will occur on Monday, October 26, and Tuesday, October 27, during the 2020-2021 season. This change allows Washington to provide the special youth, veterans, and active military days without exceeding the one hundred seven day season length allowed by the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Placement of the two-day closure is consistent with guidance provided in WDFW's Game Management Plan that suggests nine consecutive days should be placed at the beginning of the season before a closure, and the majority of allowable days later in the framework period.
We also added a description and clarified the required documentation pertaining to Veterans and Active Military individuals participating in the Waterfowl Special Hunting Day, which is scheduled for Saturday, February 6, 2021. This description had not been available for the 2019-20 seasons, and the new language clarifies the definition of active duty military and veterans and the documentation needed.
We also shifted the seven-day white-goose only season to the beginning of the third season segment in Goose Management Area 4, which is scheduled for February 13, 2021, through March 3, 2021.
WAC 220-440-060 Killing wildlife causing private property damage: We changed the language in subsection (3)(b) to clarify the intent of the rule, which is to ensure consistency with United States Fish and Wildlife Service regulations published in C.F.R., Title 50, Section 21.43.

AMENDATORY SECTION(Amending WSR 19-10-011, filed 4/19/19, effective 5/20/19)
WAC 220-412-100Landowner hunting permits.
(1) A landowner may enter into a contract with the department and establish boundaries and other requirements for hunter access consistent with commission policy.
(2) It is unlawful ((for hunters)) to participate in ((landowner-permit hunts unless the hunters possess both an access permit from the landowner and a hunting permit from the department for the species covered under the landowner's contract))landowner hunter permit (LHP) without a landowner LHP permit from the landowner or a public LHP permit from the department for the species covered under the landowner's contract and possess an unfilled tag for said species. A violation of this section is punishable under RCW 77.15.410.
(3) Acceptance Guidelines
(a) LHP contracts must provide one or both of the hunting opportunities listed below for the public via landowner permits and public permits:
• Hunting opportunity that otherwise would not exist.
• Hunting opportunity that helps resolve chronic crop damage problems that have been documented by WDFW.
(b) WDFW will deny LHP applications that do not provide substantial public access benefit beyond the allotted WDFW public permit opportunity.
• For the purposes of this program, "substantial public benefit" will be defined as access for the general public to the property outside of the designated LHP permit season, for any of the following activities: General season or special permit hunting access for deer, elk, bear, cougar, sheep, goat, moose, upland game birds, turkey, waterfowl, dove or other nonhunting activities such as wildlife viewing or fishing. At a minimum, the LHP property must allow access for at least two types of recreational opportunity outside of the designated LHP permit seasons for deer and elk. Each LHP agreement must demonstrate a substantial public benefit to the citizens of the state and the wildlife resources of the area. For further information regarding public benefit, please refer to the standard operating procedure.
(c) Lands in a single LHP must have a minimum huntable acreage of 1,000 acres.
• Lands that are contiguous can span GMU boundaries.
• Lands that are not contiguous have to reside within the same GMU.
(d) Only 2 LHP contracts will be active at the same time in each WDFW district (Appendix B). If an LHP crosses district boundaries, the LHP will be considered to be in the district containing the majority of the land and/or hunting opportunity.
(e) WDFW will prioritize LHP applications that score the highest using the scoring matrix (Criteria - Appendix D in the standard operating procedure). In addition to LHP hunts, "no-fee" general public access opportunity is required (e.g., general deer, elk, turkey, upland hunting, or other opportunities as stated in (b) of this subsection). Special accommodations for hunters with disabilities, youth, seniors, and designated master hunters are also strongly encouraged, as well as "no-fee" access for special permit holders (e.g., elk, bear, moose and bighorn sheep).
(f) To ensure predictability for landowners, hunters, and WDFW, all landowners who enter into an LHP contract in April are required to abide by the conditions of the LHP contract for the term of the contract. Any changes in property ownership, total acreage or management practices on the land(s) enrolled in the LHP will require an amendment to the contract. WDFW reserves the right to alter conditions to the contract if an amendment is required. It is the responsibility of the landowner to inform the proper WDFW regional staff of any changes. Not providing accurate information may result in the termination of the contract.
(g) Landowners may only be involved in one LHP statewide.
(4) Program Guidelines
(a) Policy C-6002 divides hunting on LHP cooperator lands into public and landowner permit opportunities. Public opportunity is defined as permits that are drawn through the WDFW permit drawing system or are drawn through a public raffle. Landowner opportunity is defined as those permits allocated to and distributed by the LHP cooperator(s).
(b) No LHP permits for elk will be issued in those GMUs where branch-antlered bull elk hunting is by quality or bull elk special permits only.
(c) No LHP permits for deer will be issued in those GMUs where antlered deer hunting is by quality or buck deer special permits only.
(d) Landowners may sell access associated with landowner LHP permits, but then must waive the right to claims for wildlife damage. Selling access may also affect landowner liability as described in RCW 4.24.200 and 4.24.210. It is the responsibility of the landowner to ensure they are protected against liability claims.
(e) WDFW will draw permits for public hunting opportunity through the licensing permit drawing system or through a public raffle. Public raffles must be conducted according to state laws and regulations including, but not limited to, WAC 220-412-050 and as outlined in the commission policy C-6002.
(f) Access to LHP property and associated hunting will be free of charge for individuals who draw a public LHP permit. Hunting opportunity (i.e., location, length of time, season of the hunt and hunting area) must be equivalent for public permit holders and landowner permit holders. Landowners not meeting this requirement will have their LHP contract voided. Landowners in an LHP may be required to provide evidence verifying equitability between both the public and landowner permits.
(g) Lands in an LHP contract will be identified on the WDFW website, along with other private and public hunting lands. The cooperator or WDFW may create additional detailed maps to better inform the public. Any additional maps or materials may also be posted on the WDFW website.
(h) LHP boundaries will be posted with WDFW approved signs in accordance with boundary posting requirements section of the standard operating procedure.
(i) LHP properties may not have fences that alter or prevent the natural movement of wildlife.
(j) All LHP permits are only valid within the identified LHP property boundaries. Any wildlife harvested outside the boundaries of the LHP using an LHP permit will be considered a "closed season" violation. LHP permits are not valid on private or public in-holdings that are not included in the LHP contract.
(k) Any cost to implement the program, other than costs typically covered by WDFW (e.g., WDFW staff time and LHP signage), will be the responsibility of the landowner.
(l) Damage prevention permits authorized under WAC 220-440-060 will be issued to LHP cooperators only if WDFW deems it necessary to control damage.
(m) All LHP contracts will be tied to the three-year season setting cycle.
(n) LHP permits will be allocated annually. WDFW regional staff will provide permit recommendations to the private lands section manager by mid-November of each year.
(o) A cooperator who does not comply with their LHP contract may have their contract voided by the department. If their contract is voided, they will not be able to reapply until the next application cycle and forfeit any remaining permits to WDFW. If a contract is voided, the LHP property may be enrolled in another WDFW access program without having to wait until the next LHP application cycle.
(p) WDFW at its discretion may deny any LHP application for biological or social reasons.
(q) LHPs shall not be authorized in areas where other access opportunities may be jeopardized.
(r) Due to the limited availability of habitat funding, LHP properties will not be prioritized for any funding available to the private lands access program for the purposes of habitat enhancement, restoration or other habitat related activities. This does not include federal programs, where WDFW staff provide technical assistance.
Annual reports (Appendix C) will be required for all LHP properties. The annual report form will be mailed to the landowners with their LHP permits each year. Reports are due back to the private lands section manager no later than May 1st of the following year. Failing to mail/send completed harvest reports may result in a delay in issuing permits the following hunting season. Chronic failure to submit reports will lead to voiding of the LHP contract.

WAC 220-415-060((2019))2020 Elk special permits.
It is unlawful to fail to comply with the bag, possession, and season limits described below. A violation of this section is punishable under RCW 77.15.410 Unlawful hunting of big gamePenalty.
Special Elk Permit Hunting Seasons (Open to Permit Holders Only)
Hunters must purchase an elk hunting license prior to purchasing a permit application. Hunters may only apply for permits consistent with the tag required for the hunt choice; however, Multiple Season Permit holders may apply for Eastern or Western Washington archery, muzzleloader, or modern firearm permit hunts. Applicants must have purchased the proper tag for these hunts. The elk tag prefixes required to apply for each hunt are shown in the following table. Hunters drawn for a special permit hunt must comply with weapon restrictions, dates, and other conditions listed for the hunt. Hunters drawn for a special permit designated "Any tag" under the "Weapon/Tag" restriction must use equipment consistent with the requirements of their transport tag and license.
Bag Limit: One (1) elk per hunter during the license year except where otherwise permitted by department rule, even if permits are drawn for more than one elk hunt category. Any combination of seasons, tags, and permits set by the department will not exceed a maximum of two (2) elk per hunter during the license year.

See subsection (3) of this section Bighorn Sheep Units for detailed legal descriptions of these hunt area boundaries.
aApplicants must be eligible to purchase a youth bighorn sheep permit application. An adult 18 years of age or older must accompany the youth hunter during the hunt.
bApplicants must possess a Disabled Hunter Permit.
cA juvenile ram is defined as a male bighorn sheep having at least one "unbroomed" horn that does not extend past an imaginary line beginning at the point on the animal's forehead where the front of the horn base adjoins the skull, and continuing downwards and in a posterior direction through the posterior edge of the eye. A "broomed" horn is defined as a sheep horn that has been broken, splintered, frayed or rubbed in the wild, thus shortening its length and disrupting its natural taper.
This hunt contributes to a program designed to eliminate or greatly reduce prevalence of pneumonia in this herd. As such, hunters will be required to retain lungs and head for submission within ten calendar days to the Washington department of fish and wildlife regional or district office for veterinary sampling.

The fish and wildlife commission is authorized to classify wildlife as game, and/or as endangered species or protected wildlife, and/or as a predatory bird consistent with RCW 77.08.010 and 77.12.020. The commission is also authorized, pursuant to RCW 77.36.030, to establish the limitations and conditions on killing or trapping wildlife that is causing damage on private property. The department may authorize, pursuant to RCW 77.12.240 the killing of wildlife destroying or injuring property.

Additional conditions defined by the department may also be important, depending on individual situations. Killing wildlife to address private property damage is subject to all other state and federal laws including, but not limited to, Titles 77 RCW and 220 WAC.

The department will document animals harvested under this subsection and will ensure harvest is consistent with herd management objectives developed cooperatively with comanagers where available.
(((c)))(d) Multiple deer or elk may be killed if they are in the act of damaging commercial crops if the owner, owner's immediate family member, agent of the owner, or owner's documented employee is issued damage prevention or kill permits and the owner has a valid, written damage prevention cooperative agreement with the department.
