Polite Request

[BigKav]

To the gentlemen boating the south of the north fork of the Skagit River,

Please consider the other hunters who would like to shoot Snow Geese. When thousands are sitting on the coast, 20 minutes before shooting time, it would be best to NOT buzz by them and force them to the middle of the bay. This has happened 3 times this year. Every year we plan on coming to shoot low flying geese that come off the bay. Every time we have came to our spot, a boat has managed to flare our potential targets, minutes before shooting time and destroying any chance we had at them.

I understand you have a right to the same areas we do, but hunting the other thousands of acres available in the bay, that aren't directly in front of public land, would be a solid consideration. Even if you aren't hunting in this area, traveling farther out from the coast would really help your fellow hunters.

Yours truly,
This guy

You sure they are not anti hunters?

[BOWHUNTER45]

Maybe you should head to Samish Island ...seems to be a sheet load out there this year .....and alot of wardens to go with them 

[BigKav]

I'm starting to wonder. 2 out of the 3 times, these gents stuck around to hunt waterfowl. It actually blew my mind they did it. Today, very well could have been a vegetarian because they didn't stick around.

i was out there last Sunday, and a guy did the same damn thing, motored out from the north fork at around 8am and headed straight south thru the snow and duck rafts, blew it for everybody. Snows were  finally right out front, was going to be a good shoot and some freaking inconsiderate RETARD, bLows it for everybody. to make matters worse, a few geese came back and set down, when they began the flyout, this idiot retard, motored right under them, and the whole flock left. friggin  IDIOT!!!!! he was out less than an hour and went back up river. and yes....he was a hunter.

[BigKav]

There was an old-timer that beat us our there today and his day was ruined because if this guy. I really hope they wise up and stop ruining other people's hunting experiences. It's really a shame.

[ICEMAN]

Maddening to hear about BigKav.

[Stilly bay]

he probably thought he was doing everyone a favor. few hunters can compete with a raft of content ducks or geese. they will suck in every bird from miles around.

did you have decoys set up or were you hoping the snow geese were going to fly low over an area even though they know its crawling with hunters?

[BigKav]

They have done it for years. Why would they stop this year? I would at least like a fair shot at them continuing past habit.

[BigKav]

If he thinks he is doing us a favor BEFORE shooting time, he probably thinks not flushing a public toilet is considerate as well.

[Skagit_Hunter]

Were you hunting a field with decoys? . If you had decoys out, I feel sorry for you. .... Good.

[BigKav]

Skagit, I love getting called names by a middle-aged man. That's nice. Next time, keep your opinion to yourself. I'm far from a slob, sir.

[ellensburgpo]

Don't take it personal, he acts like that on a few forums. More a reflection on him than you.
