Careful at Toppenish wildlife refuge

[ShedHead20]

Sunnyside is horrible as well. Every open space of ecology block and road signs are covered in gang tags. Never had a rig broken into but we don't hunt there anymore because of it. If we decide to go back, I may just use my truck as bait and take out some local vermin.

Maybe someone could set up a ground blind and park a “bait truck”. Work in teams of two or three with paintball guns loaded with frozen paintballs.

Trade the paint ball guns for .28 Nosler, and go.

I would sure like to see a Dbag get caught in the act just to watch them get beat like a drum. I HATE THIEVES

[Onewhohikes]

The thing is these guys or gal or whatever they are seem to getting some pretty expensive items.  Would be nice to catch them and go to their house or tent and see what else they can nail them on.

I am not going to stereotype anyone because I have just as many Caucasian tweeters as the next. I do have a plan

I think sportsman need to come up with a way to monitor these parking area's ourselves. I am not talking about laying in ambush and jumping a guy/gal breaking into a car, but more of a visible presence.

I am talking about the more common area's where this happens all the time. Just someone being there, physically visible, would deter most all of the smash and grabs.

Sadly- confronting thieves will more than likely get the good guy in trouble.

I don't know how, but something needs to change. Thieves suck, but literally nothing happens to them if they get caught.

See reply #17.  There's your answer.

I've always thought this would be a good idea, have some kind of volunteer sign up, even just a couple hours a day each would help a lot.

I agree. Maybe a good thing for Master Hunters to do as well?

Wouldn't be able to do it everywhere for sure- but there are more than a hand full of lots/boat ramps that this stuff happens at all of the time.

I think this sounds like a great way to extend your season if you fill your tags early. I think they should give you bonus points if you bust a tweaker in the act of committing a crime against someone while they are hunting or fishing. I sure hope I never catch anybody breaking into my stuff especially while I’m hunting. I fear the lives of everyone involved would change drastically.

[Sandberm]

Don't always assume it's a "tweeker". It could be a gang member who is better armed than you and EAGER to prove his machismo in the worst way.

[bornhunter]

By the sounds of many of these comments folks are getting a little tired of the scumbags out there. Bad boys may want to watch out when some good ol boys show up.

The Headquarters unit has some cameras  for the main boat launch and parking area on fir island Skagit County. It has seemednto reduce the theft considerably.
