My Buddy Just Turned In His 3rd Poacher

In all of my cases yes. The yellow signs every 50 yards are hard to miss

There's your ticket to another Skagit bear hunt!

They only give them for elk and deer if I remember right bobcat.

I have 2 messages to the local guy here to come seal my cat to get it to a taxi. It's going to be a grill fest when he get's here this time

Oh yeah. I knew that. Just wasn't thinking.

Oh well, I'm sure you could use 10, 20, or 30 extra points for deer or elk. Maybe I'll come down and spend a couple weekends catching trespassers too. I'm in need of some more points too.

That's funny. I've joked about going to our local Home Depot and hire some fellows to go poach an animal for me for $50.

When I got points they said that points were only given out for big game violations. Trespassing is not a big game violation, even if you were hunting big game at the time. Poaching, shooting and animal out of season, shooting a spike in a three point or better area, things like that are what you can get points for. No there does not have to be a conviction. You can recieve up to ten points, the number of points and whether you get any is up to the investigating officer.

you get points for deer or elk and only in one catigory . must pertain to illegal harvest of a big game species or a protected species i believe . I picked quality elk for my points .

Wasn't hunting on private property without permission just made into a Game Violation where you stand losing your hunting license for 2 year minimum along with fines?  I think that started this year if I'm not mistaken.  That should lead to Carp getting 70 elk points this year.

SB 6135, new section 11:

7(4) If a person unlawfully hunts and kills wildlife, or retrieves hunted wildlife that he or she has killed, on the property of another, then, upon conviction of unlawfully hunting on, or retrieving hunted wildlife from, the property of another, the department shall revoke all hunting licenses and tags and order a suspension of the person's hunting privileges for two years.

6. Citizen reward for reporting violations - bonus points: A person who provides information which contributes substantially to the arrest of another person for illegally hunting or killing big game or an endangered species as defined by Title 77 RCW is eligible to receive ten bonus points toward the special hunting permit drawing for one application category of deer or elk special hunting season permits.



It does not say up to ten bonus points. It says ten bonus points.

Trespassing is now a game violation as of this summer.  I'm having a brain fart and can't remember right now if it was enacted June 1 or July 1.
