SB 5104: Pheasant enhancement program

Creating the Washington pheasant enhancement program.

Summary

  • Beginning the 1997 hunting season, pheasant hunters in eastern Washington must pay a $10 surcharge, in addition to other licensing requirements, in order to hunt pheasants. Funds from the program are utilized to release pen-reared pheasants for hunting, to improve habitat for pheasants, to lease lands for hunting access, and to provide opportunities for juvenile pheasant hunters.
