Governance
This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Advocated for science-based wildlife management, including continuation of fall, bear, and cougar hunts in collaboration with the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife and the WDFW Commission. Engaged with the legislature on wildlife, firearm, and WDFW governance bills to support sound management of fish and wildlife and maintain sportsmen recreation opportunities and firearm rights.
