Eld Inlet Duck Hunters - the truth

[ICEMAN]

Greetings Lawrence!
Some of your information is questionable. I have never heard of the Taylor's being HATED as you said, where do you come up with that? I've known Gail Taylor for many years, she is highly respected and a wonderful person. And where do you come up with "spending extra money to live on Eld Inlet"?  Lawrence, you declined to pick up your spent shells that washed up on the beach(don't worry, I picked them up for you), your shot hit a home, and the scoters are in serious decline(50% in the last 25 years) per the SeaDoc Society research facility. Being jolted awake before 8am on Sunday mornings by something likened to the sound of a jackhammer pounding cement outside your window is intense and shocking and a safety issue in a residential area.  An eye witness did observe and report "indiscriminate shooting" from the floating duck blind and kayaks. I also like to shoot, but not outside my neighbor's window.

You know Gail.....and your signature is Gail......Hmmmmmm.......

I would liken deciding to move into a home near a duck hunting area to; moving near an airport or next to a highway or industrial area. The duck hunting has been going on since before most any of those homes being built nearby.

How do you actually know spent shells are from this person? Or his shot hit a specific home?

Gail....where do you shoot?

Now, now icemonster she has already hooked herself and is getting lots of slack to get more than her fair share of bait. heeheehee...let her go until someone can set the hook.

Just a question ..not sure if it applies or if it could be used to gain further support.  Are there any tribal hunting seasons within this area whose rights might be infringed upon also?  Just curious.  I grew up hunting this area, it is a shame that it has come to this.  However this is just the beginning of what is to come..the fight for the right to hunt and weapons restriction areas.  Thanks for sending the letters..I will do the same.

The construction issue is one of the things I want to bring up in the commissioner's meeting.  I'd think that air compressors, nail guns, concrete trucks, chainsaws and dozers destroying wildlife habitat, etc are all far more long-term and intrusive than the few shots we take the 3-5 hours, 7-8 days a year we are there.  You're right, our noise must be the problem, and their noise is OK

I'll keep y'all as informed as I can and would love to have as many folks present as possible.  It's tough when people don't fully understand things and make their conclusiions based on missing info, but it's completely another thing when folks outright mislead others to sway emotion.
   


NOT SURE OF LOCAL RESTRICTIONS ON CONSTRUCTION BUT USUALLY 8AM IS THE EARLEST START TIME BUT NOT MANY CONTRACTOR OBAY IT
BTW, this specific area absolutely stinks for seaducks... and no sane duck hunter would want to eat them anyway
