Congratulations, Cody Hawken, pictured on the 2012 Big Game Regulations! Cody, 15, took his five-point mule deer during a bow hunting trip with his father and two brothers last November in the Chelan Wildlife Area. A resident of Vancouver, WA, he has been hunting with his father, David, since he was 10 years old and is looking forward to the 2012 season. The cover photo of Cody with his mule deer was one of hundreds of images submitted to WDFW for a statewide photo contest. |

WDFW proposals to acquire land for fish and wildlife habitat and public recreation are now available at http://wdfw.wa.gov/lands/acquisitions/ The new webpage is an opportunity to learn about 21 priority land- acquisition proposals before WDFW seeks funding for them later this year, says Jennifer Quan, WDFW lands division manager. Previous acquisitions or those already underway are not included. |
