The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) is now accepting applications for membership on its Shooting Range Public Advisory Committee, which evaluates shooting range grant applications for the department.

Applications are available from WDFW at 360-902-8408 and must be completed and returned by June 2.

Since 2002, WDFW has coordinated federal grants for shooting ranges that promote recreational shooting in a safe and educational environment. Members of the public advisory committee help rank grant applications before the department makes its recommendations to U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

A one-day training session will be held in June to provide new members of the advisory with an overview of the program and its responsibilities.

First New Mexico Muley
Last year, my friend Scott and I planned up a hunting trip to New Mexico to hunt on his brother-in-law's ranch near Truth or Consequences. On the first afternoon of the season, he and I ventured into the mountains behind the ranch house. We split up, with Scott taking the first ridge and I headed further back to the second one. I was carrying my trusty 7600 Remington 270 pump.
