It just seems to me that there are no farmers that want hunters on their land that don't already have them.


with that attitude your screwed. 4phuxache you haven't talked to EVERY farmer in Western Wa.
Why would a farmer let me hunt on his property for free, when he can get paid by another to hunt his property.
thats when you get back in your car and drive to another farm. rinse and repeat.
I do not like asking people if I could hunt their land because they are probably tired of other hunters asking. It seems to me that it would leave bad impressions on farmers.
then how in the hell are you so convinced EVERY farmer won't let you hunt free of charge on his property? sounds like you gave up before you even started.
the worst thing a farmer could say is "no" and if they do chances are they already have a bad impression of hunters.

Maybe I should start asking around. I just think that when a farmer gets asked however many times a year; it leaves a bad impression on hunters  :twocents:
maybe sometimes it does, probably not often. most farmers have different take on hunters from the rest of society. at the very least they will be happy you were the guy that took the trouble to  knock on the door and ask for permission... and not the guy who just went ahead and trespassed.

Here is a thought.......dont just ask permission, ask what you can do in return. My family owns a good portion of that island, we lease some land for duck season and the rest is for cattle. If you are willing to help build fences, bring in hay in the summer, farm work, round-up help, etc will ensure good relations.

actually Kola this isn't good for either party. without closing it to duck hunting altogether its just going to create more conflicts since everyone will be using the place at the same time. granted duck hunting there now on a weekend would be the acme of foolishness...but
just because it doesn't make sense to duck hunt in a place, doesn't mean there won't be people duck hunting there.

another thing to consider is I doubt this was put up to resolve pheasant hunter and duck hunter conflicts. it was probably instituted because of neighbors complaining about the noise, which means yet another pheasant release site/duck hunting area may be taken away down the road.

As I posted earlier; includes Stillwater, Cherry Valley, Crescent Lake, and now Ebey Island

This will be in effect during the Western Washington Pheasant Season. For the rest of the hunting season normal hunting hours, half hour before sunrise to half hour after sunset, will apply. For more information, contact Sergeant Kim Chandler (425) 775-1311 ext. 122

Hopefully this will help keep duck hunters from using pheasant release sites since the best time for ducks is during the early and late closure hours anyways. If they do insist on duck hunting release sites they should atleast be required to wear hunter orange or better yet be required to purchase the $90  pheasant permit :tup: :chuckle: :twocents:

I’d support everyone wearing hunter orange.  Not that I’m an elitist, I like to shoot ducks too but the hunter density is just too high for safety when some are camo-ed up and hiding in the grass.

You guys that are out there, full camo, face paint, hiding in the grass, no blind, no decoys, no call, not even near open water, you’re just nuts.  :yike: :yike: :yike: You’re an accident waiting to happen.  :bdid: :bdid: :bdid: I can't think of a better way to get shot. :stup:
