--- Quote from: Hermit on July 29, 2007, 11:47:52 AM ---I got bitched at by the State Patrol a few years back for pulling and burning {I started the fire with litter} a couple indian fish nets on the lower Skagit. They had Fisher Slough completly blocked off with nets and the fish in them ranged from alive to rotted....... I popped a gasket........ I cut the ropes, pulled them in, released the live fish, started a fire and added the nets. First some Fisheries guys saw the smoke and I told them what I did and why. A Little later the State Patrol showed up and bitched at me and said I'd likely get shot if the indians returned. Never happen. That still pisses me off.

Hermit, until I read this I was getting a little peaved with you, now I am not so sure. You may have hope afterall. What you claimed to have done is something many sportsmen have dreamed about doing. Conservative sportsman. Maybe you are really a conservative on the inside, trying to get out. We can help you.

Curly:
Iceman, LOL...I agree.

Nguyen should be given a reward instead of being fined.  I hope he gets a decent lawyer and gets off by claiming self defense.

Hermit:
Look..... I'm fairly hard to lable. And don't feel alone, I seem to piss people off. It's just this whole "Liberals" are ruining everything attitude that pisses me off. I was raised with guns and hunting and love my freedom to do what I wish. There are just as many whacked out Neocons as there are leftwing extreamists. Maybe it's just the labeling of people thats the problem.  In 89 I kicked a $100 worth of pea hay over the bridge at Conway that a old farmer/fisherman sold to me.......... You could get a LOT of pea hay for a $100. Musta wiped out 7 of 8 nets on the way downstream. And burning those nets on the bank seemed like a good thing to do. I'd do it again in a heartbeat.   Iceman, just WHAT IS a "conservative sportsman"?

Ray:
I don't see much difference between eco-terrorists and the actions you describe hermit. I don't touch anyone else's stuff, let alone burn it. To me there is no emotional distress regarding fishing or hunting which is worth it.

As far as the fisherman on Newport Beach Pier. He's a Dumb Ass that got what he deserved. Even if I thought it was necessary to retaliate I couldn't think of any worse place could you do that at.

Hermit:
I guess the difference is politcal ideals VS Gutfelt anger at wildlife waste. Call it whatever you want I never regretted it and would do it again.
