Thanks Jon. Can't imagine what this stuff does to our wildlife. Slash and burn should be brought back.

 :twocents:
This is another example of why people need to become more engaged in our political processes.  They must become voters educated with facts, not propaganda from sound-bites purchased by billionaires (i.e. I-594).  People need to register to VOTE and actually VOTE.  They must VOTE only for people that will support and defend the Constitution and Bill of Rights, VOTE for people that actually represent their constituency, NOT VOTE for "Political Hacks".  They must actively write and call their representatives and agency officials regarding issues like the one in this thread.

Many in the hunting community tend to be laid back and just want to be left alone to hunt, fish, and enjoy life.  We all want that, but we can't sit back as apathetic observers thinking others will protect and preserve our rights, freedoms, and health for us.  It's up to each of us as individuals to have our voices heard.

Wake up.  Get engaged in our political processes.  Encourage your family, friends, and colleagues to do the same.  Apathy is a freedom killer.

Do we actually know what was sprayed?
Do we really know that someone became ill?
Pavement, crowds and inaccurate rifles...
Thanks anyway.

To a degree.  The company that sprayed hid records, falsified records of chemicals and concentrations/mixtures (some were prohibited), then under investigation found that what the company said and what the scientists found didn't match up--so the company began to divulge what they were doing. 
Yes, people and animals did get sick.  Doctors found the chemicals in the labs and had an abnormal amount of people and animals show up with unexplained sickness.
In this case, the company was hired to spray properties on two sides of the development.  They mixed up a little something extra and instead of shutting off the sprayer in between, they just flew the helicopter over the houses to get to the next patch of timber--figuring they would save fuel by flying longer straight lines with half as many turns than flying the timber patches separately.

If they are hiding records somebody loaded the wrong stuff in the tanks.
But I dont know.
Just looks wrong because of the allegations (cover up) and liabillity is huge.

When flying on chemicals... (could be wrong, I'm not a crop pilot) the gps indicates valve open and closed. This helps with liability when someone says "you sprayed me!" Now would be a good time to produce that data wouldnt it?
Hope they have it.

But...But...But, we were assured by DNR and WDFW that the people who spray this stuff are licensed so we know they wouldn't do it wrong.  After all, they wouldn't risk their licenses.

Once licensed, there is no oversight, field checks, or testing done to ensure proper application.  This came from officials from DNR and WDFW at the Kelso Hoof Root Meeting.

2014 elections really didn't go in a direction that makes me think this is a viable action in the coming 2 years, but if you can rally the Hunt-Wa members to fully support and help elect Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid for 2016 I think it could be a real possibility that we can get more federal regulation and restriction to protect the environment.
