South Puget Sound Saltwater Duck Hunters
« on: February 21, 2009, 08:35:05 PM »
Just a heads up that last night I saw the second of two county meetings on local TV in the past couple weeks that had public outcry on bird hunting in Eld Inlet.

The first one a couple weeks ago was a guy complaining about the constant duck hunting and possible daily over harvest.

The one last night had a guy complaining about some "professional hunters" from Marysville who are sitting on oyster beds shooting "everything that flys" including crows and seagulls. He stated that he called the sheriffs and F&W who both told him that they did not have jurisdiction and he wanted the county to look into it.

I am not sure what is going on or the legalities, but maybe someone can shed some light on the subject.

Yes, the hunters were from Marysville hunting near Olympia. That was one of the beefs as well. Said he didn't mind hunters shooting ducks for food, but didn't like people coming from out of town to wipe out all flying critters.

Remember, this was a council meeting about an area that is already firearm restricted with a ton of houses nearby. It won't take long for this area to be off limits to hunting.

Without factual information, "WHO" is just hearsay so I cleaned up the thread a bit. The "facts" as they stand are people are going to council meetings to complain about duck hunters.

From there I am sure it gets distorted on "what" and "how many" are being killed.

Just thought maybe someone would have info on who this is and why the locals think they are killing everything.

But from what I've seen non-hunting locals that don't like the sound of gunfire can exaggerate and speculate. And even other jealous hunters can make up stories and accusations.

Yes they can, but the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
In the second meeting the guy actually said he was not against hunting ducks "for the table" as he put it.

Most likely slob-hunters then,which make us all look bad.
Seems there was a ton of them out there in the field the last couple years.

Where did you guys see that these hunters were doing anything wrong ???

We dont know if the statement about shooting "crows and seagulls" is true or not. Besides, crows are legal to shoot during duck season. So if these hunters are simply hunting ducks in a public area, then they are within the law and should have our support. Whoever they are.
