Penalties got worse a couple years ago, couldn't remember the exact details. Did a quick google and found this: "A penalty of up to 90 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $1,000. In addition, upon conviction, the Department will revoke your hunting licenses and suspend your hunting privileges for two years. Any animal harvested or retrieved in violation of the section will be forfeited to WDFW."Don't think it's a reward so much unless they're poaching too? Heard you can sometimes get "points" for help catching poachers.
Well right now I'm as guilty as them lol, the road goes through all this private property but at the end is a green dot road.I had two 3x3's 50 yards from my truck this morning but passed, also the big portion of private land has a sign saying "private property-stay on roads, don't build fires and use at your own risk" does that mean you can hunt?
So you're looking for money for turning THEM in...But you're just as guilty as them? I'd send all three of you geniuses to the pokey if you were on my land an A$$ kicking to boot! Hipocrat.
Your post is very confusing at best. Sounds like you know and possibly hunt with the two that are considering shooting bucks on private land......and you want us to tell you to turn them in. Man up and tell the guys if they break the law you will turn them in, then follow through wiith it if they do. Kind of sounds like you thought about shooting them also? If I am wrong in what I read and how I interpreted it....please feel free to elaborate with the entire story.

The whole story is I don't know these guys they stopped me coming out tonight and told me they seen two legal bucks that they are going after in the morning, I had two legal bucks cross this morning I checked them out and continued on.Simple story I wasn't sure if trespassing was an issue wdfw dealt with or more a property owner issue, I obey signs which is why I drove on after seeing the buck's.
Near the taneum area, they are local and hang out with a shady *censored*bag that makes his own rules.I guess they will do what they said but honestly I have my own tag to fill so I can't waste my time trying to catch them
Thank you campmeat
If it were me...I would find out who the land owner is, make contact and strike up a conversation. Let them know what I saw and leave it at that for the time being. I would then make future contact and try to build a relationship.
I turned two guys in during archery. They shot a deer on private land from the road and only got a trespassing ticket. They didn't lose there license or any of that. Fish and game just cited them a ticket and took the meat.
the big portion of private land has a sign saying "private property-stay on roads, don't build fires and use at your own risk" does that mean you can hunt?
Let me get this straight. Two pages of "Turn them in, whoop their ass, and string them up" talk and the property isn't even posted "No Trespassing"? Damn we sure like to read all kinds of BS into a post.Quote from: HHPro on October 17, 2015, 07:44:57 PMthe big portion of private land has a sign saying "private property-stay on roads, don't build fires and use at your own risk" does that mean you can hunt? If that is exactly what is on the sign I would say you are good to go, as well as the other guys, just being a creepy pos dosen't make you a poacher. Just don't drive off road, build a fire, or sue them for doing something stupid to your self.
