poacher busted Oly Penninsula?

[bigun]

anyone have any info on a guy and his wife being busted for baiting? 

[jackmaster]

Stupid law.. as long as they only took their one tag worth, who really cares?? People could learn so much watching bear over bait!! No different than baiting a deer or elk is it ? Baiting bear will also cut down on the amount of sows and cubs being killed... this law is just as dumb as no trapping or no hound hunting!! Thanks alot tree huggers.. sorry got off topic..haha, nope haven't heard a word..

That's how stupid these people are ..  They do not understand proper management ...  From bears to fish !!! 

[Sitka_Blacktail]

From perfectly legal, ethical way to hunt to poaching...............

Actually, the subject title on this thread is irritating. Why is someone a poacher because uneducated people who shouldn't have anything to say about hunting practices vote with their emotions?

[JimmyHoffa]

First I heard of it.
The law is BS feel good for emotional voters, but unfortunately it is law.  Maybe there will be something to get the case tossed (from my times on jury duty here prosecutors barely even have a pulse it seems) or they will get a lenient judge (Peninsula judges are notoriously soft on things like murder, rape, assault, etc...so possibly bear bait will get laughed out of court).  Hopefully they didn't lose any family heirloom rifles over this goofy law.

no diff. then antitrapping law, can't even trap moles. Stupidity reigns.

I will probably get slammed for this idea but in my deranged mind, I honestly believe you should only get to vote on hunting and fishing issues if your a person who purchases a hunting or fishing licence, no one cares more for fish and game than a sportsman, plus why should an uneducated tree hugger in Seattle that has no clue about wildlife and fish issues get to vote on it? The fish and game we pursue are the ones who suffer !!!

It may be a dumb law but it is a law and they broke it and should be charged.  As far as voting goes I believe everyone should be able to vote.  Many don't share our ideas of management but if we start taking away voting privelages for people we deem have no interest or knowledge of a subject that opens up a rabbit hole we may not want to see the bottom of.

I agree, but if you want to vote on those issues then you should have to buy a huntn  or fishn license!! Why should people get to vote on something they have NO stock in??

It shouldn't be a voting matter to begin with.

but to much common sense.

Wow, my intent wasn't to stir things up! 
I completely agree that going from free for all baiting and hounds to none of either is ridiculous. 
As stated above, a little thought into the management of most of our wildlife resources could work wonders in our state.


I was interested to hear if anyone had heard anything of the recent bust, agree or disagree with the law.
I "know a guy that knows the guy", and "the guy" is a tool.  It seems the only reason he hunts or fishes is to be able to post pictures on facebook and get "friends" to hunt with him for "trades".
