WA SB5960

Requires the Department of Fish and Wildlife to designate ungulate populations (deer, elk, moose, mountain goat, caribou, bighorn sheep) as "at-risk" and initiate predator mitigation within 60 days when populations fall 25% or more below their 10-year rolling average in federal wolf delisting areas

Predator mitigation measures include seasonal or geographic predator reduction, gray wolf translocation within Washington, targeted removal, diversionary feeding, and hazing

Mitigation must continue until mule deer and white-tailed deer populations meet or exceed 2004 harvest levels for two consecutive years and exceed their 10-year rolling average

Mandates annual white-tailed deer population counts conducted in partnership with sportsmen, with survey methods publicly transparent and results published by March 31st

Requires annual legislative reporting by March 31st on ungulate population trends, at-risk designations, mitigation actions, and progress toward 2004 population benchmarks
