Master Hunters VOICE LOUD AND CLEAR!!!

[huntnphool]

Lets Not!!!!!

[KillBilly]

What I hear going on here appears to be based on Jealousy.....

You're not listening very well then, especially if you think that's what is motivating me in what I had to say.   

It was not directed at you Bone....

[boneaddict]

Thanks Killbilly.  I appreciate the note.  Now I'll let you dive in here with this. 

[KillBilly]

This subject seems to be getting allot of attention, now all someone needs to do is post all the opportunity's.I want to see this years reg opportunity's posted then the real debate will follow.Post the unit the time allowed, time of year and total days the
M H get verse the rest of the 277,000 hunters paying the bills here.B Barnes keeping the
public lands public and still not asking for any extra opportunity's


P.S. we need to hear the stories

You got a lot of mouth B.Barnes, why don't you compile a list of bills that you pay that the rest of us don't. All I see is that you might have to pay a methane gas tax for all the hot wind you spew so freely. You are the one making claims about what we MHs get...show us the list if you can and then explain why you don't get them or why you don't qualify to be an MH..

[jackelope]

lots of division among hunters....which is great to see(insert utmost sarcasm here).
 

[KillBilly]

I deleted KillzElks post because he is putting words in my quote that are his lies. fine if you want to quote me but you must inject your lies in you're own response. MH is not about ME and never has been. Obviously you are upset because it is not about you. Because you don't want to be part of it gives you no reason to beat it down. killzelk is typical of so many that only want to complain but never want to be part of the solution. If you really believe that there is so much to be gained by being an MH then why don't you Join up. I would challenge any of you to pass the test and the background check and join us in whatever you perceive our Utopia to be. I see it as a put or shut up situation.

Good honest discussion is welcome always... uneducated bashing is just uncalled for

[Lockout]

Thanks for deleting my post two times, you may not want to read it but others might.. I don't call you out on all your spelling typos & delete post that I don't like just goes to show you give someone alittle power, You are showing your true colors ...
I also appreciate the Private message you sent to me , I would love to post it but there are some words that would not be appropriate.
 

Or, everyone who is complaining about this get off their dead butts, do the service , pass the test and we'll all be Master Hunters. If you won't or can't do it then you have nothing to complain about. You have equal opportunity to take and pass the course, I think equal opportunity is what you are wanting isn't it.
What I hear going on here appears to be based on Jealousy..... Hunting has no place for jealousy, it is not part of the activity. You are always going to find someone that you think has it easier than you.

I am a Master Hunter and have been one since they started the program.

You need to quit whining and become one also. Then tell us about the Special hunts you get and the trophys you kill and how you get to shoot from a quad in a field...

You make me Ill... ignorance must actually be BLISS.

I see there are some for this ridicules Master Hunter program and those of us that think it is a Crock of  BS..  We all can take a test and pay are fee and pass.. As you all see some like KillBilly don't want to lose his special VIP card for ALL ACCESS privilege.

People like this don't deserve to have this type of POWER he thinks he might have . Like I have said before its all about ME ME ME .. What about others that need to ride a quad into a place that cant hike or walk very well or have a disability .. If you are a Master Hunter get off your lazy butt and do some hiking give up your status you think is so cool and give it to someone that needs it, and hunt the animals like they have been hunted from years when we were not on this earth ..

Looks to me a these Master Hunters THINK they are in a special sniper club.. Shoot off there Orv drive in, Next they will give them all pagers to contact them about all the nuisance elk on property like the SWAT team..

[jackelope]

Thanks for locking me out

hey lockout/killzelk...nobody locked you out. you changed your email address which requires account reactivation. make sure of the facts before you accuse people of things.

[agchawk]

The above post is a perfect example of the kinds of posts that absolutely do more harm than good to ANY CAUSE and end up getting threads locked.

There are no discussion points, nothing of value added to the conversation, and sounds more like an angry child on the playground than someone who cares about a topic and is willing to discuss same.

Of course, it's not the only post in this thread that falls into the same catergory...just a great example IMO.

[jackelope]

What about others that need to ride a quad into a place that cant hike or walk very well or have a disability ..

on page 24-25 of the regs is a huge list of disabled hunter deer special permits.
again...check the facts.

[boneaddict]

I understand you are frustrated, but lets keep the finger pointing to a minimium fellas.  Be constructive or it disappears.  You can have a debate without the crap.  Take note how Killbilly and I handled it.  We got our points across just fine.  OTHERWISE, it disappears and your point will never get across.

[KillBilly]

here is some information if any of you would like to participate in the MH program

Master Hunter Program
The Master Hunter program is designed to promote responsible hunting. In addition to training, the program emphasizes safe, lawful and ethical hunting priorities while upholding the highest standards. The program offers an opportunity for conscientious, committed hunters who care about the future of hunting to assume a leadership role among their peers. Through their knowledge and conduct in the field, Master Hunters play a key role in improving relationships with landowners, thus ensuring continued hunter access to private lands.

Benefits
Individuals who successfully complete the Master Hunter program receive a patch as recognition of their accomplishments. A personalized Master Hunter card with the person's name, Master Hunter number, issue date, and renewal date will also be provided. Master Hunters are eligible to participate in special hunts aimed at reducing property damage and/or public safety problems posed by wildlife. Special hunt opportunities vary from year to year, and may include elk, deer and turkey hunts in designated areas throughout Washington.
Training and certification
Those enrolling in the Master Hunter program should be motivated by a genuine desire to learn and model a high level of hunting knowledge and skill. Training is offered through independent study, offering maximum flexibility for candidates.
To become a certified Master Hunter, each applicant is required to:
•   Demonstrate proficiency with a bow, handgun, muzzleloader, rifle or shotgun.
•   Provide at least 20 hours of volunteer service on a project benefiting state wildlife resources.
•   Attend Crime Observation and Reporting Training (CORT).
•   Receive a score of at least 80 percent on a written examination, based on provided independent
             studymaterials.
•   Submit to a law enforcement background check.
•   Sign an agreement to abide by the Master Hunter code of ethics.

Jackelope is right.. there are many options for Disabled hunters. I happen to be one of them also. There are road programs that get DH behind locked gates on a draw system. There is the companion card that allows a DH to take another hunter along and even shoot for him. There is the crossbow option, even allwances for hunting from your vehicle with in certain guidelines.   By the way, i did not have to pass a test to get disabled and they didn't give me a patch 

[KillBilly]

By the way, I want to apologize to those of you that have added constructive narrative and argument to this topic. If it appears that I mis-used my powers as a Mod, I am sorry.

[KillzElk]

KillBilly I was trying to quote what you had said .. Sorry if you felt I had changed your words....

This is what I would like to see for the Master Hunter program go for, the picture says it all.. Happiness....
