Deer poaching question
« on: January 21, 2019, 11:41:18 AM »
Why is it that the thread below is five days old and only three pages long?

https://hunting-washington.com/smf/index.php/topic,235627.0.html

Where is the uproar over deer getting slaughtered on winter range? A call from every member on here for more enforcement and stiffer penalties?

There are some and that is great, but.....

if this same pic was posted from Swakane, Entiat or the methow and there was even a hint a tribal evolvement that same thread would be 8 pages long on day one.

Just seems odd to me.
Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Every father should remember that one day his children will follow his example instead of his advice.

They're whitetails and appear to be does.  If they were muley bucks look out.  Moderators would have to watch the thread like a hawk.

I haven't been on here in about a week and a half. I think a lot of people are traveling.

Tribal elk or deer = outrage and 8 pages day one.
Non native mule = that’s not right, 2 pages day one.
Non native mule deer two point= no good but 3pt minimum is a dumb rule.
5 whitetail does in winter= sucks but there’s lots of does
Wolf=SSS

Just tying to gauge where the priorities are.

Wondering when we are going to look back and say remember all the whitetail we used to see? Too many predators in this state.

pretty similiar to most......take the Are you watching the video series thread.  Even with a little self promotion or bump posts from friends or the peanut gallery, (Thats you Karl Blanchard  :chuckle: )  only a page or two long after a week.  Throw in an orange vest comment, and we doubled in size while I was at lunch.   

Interest level I guess.

There are definite hot buttons that can blow a thread up.

I’m a people watcher and watching what gets people worked up here and what is just ho hum is interesting to me.

I’m not. There’s already a lack of hunting opportunities in this state. In an area where mule deer don’t thrive, something(whitetails) is better than nothing.

Bigshooter ... I keep going back to this. I’m assuming you’re not implying you’re ok with poachers killing 5 whitetail does, at least some of which were probably carrying fawns, because you don’t like whitetails.

Say it ain’t so...

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

So, are you defending poaching whitetails and killing people with whom you disagree? That's kind of bizarre. We won't get into the wolves statement. But please explain what you mean about the other two. Thanks.

 There are 2200+ views, and on par with comments/views with the Methow thread.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!
