Trappers be aware

[JakeLand]

I have all sorts of vengeful suggestions on how to get back at them, but surely non of them are legal, so I guess I better put my Admin angel hat on and keep my mouth shut.  THis sure does piss me off though.

i agree 100% on country boy justice

I didn't even bother reporting someone smashing my bobcat trap due to lack of consequences.

I now use cameras and have zero plans of turning them in if caught.

Well they had their day in court ….. the :censored: got a $275 fine and a one year probation BS for blatant disregard for the law . Even with the videos that the prosecutor had but never used this is what they got . I’m pissed at the law in this country we as trappers have to follow the law and use cages with I.D. Tags on and Check traps within 24 hrs of capture and EVERYTHING else but they get away with everything they want

Figures.. Most poachers are let off easy also.

No they are not! I know a local guy who got fined $236 for poaching an elk on the Palouse River! Boy I'll bet he regrets that! 

He would have spent that much going out of town to hunt for a few days... It's pathetic

Paintball landmine loaded with putrid cat urine would keep them away. Good luck loading it up!

I think a squirt of pure skunk extract down the cabin air intake vent on their vehicle would work better.

A lingering reminder of the wildlife they saved.

*censored* prosecutor and judge slapping the wrist of a *censored* colleague.


You censored a variation of liberal, really ?

That's not what was censored.

Lol! Let the imagination run on that one...

He didn't get a conviction. The courts gave a "SOC" statement of continuance. which is nothing more than a hand slap as if she isn't cited for anymore wildlife violations it is dismissed after a year.

Wow! The liberal tree huggers have the valley locked down. I feel sorry for all you trappers and the imminent cancelation of trapping. We all know the anti’s do not stop and will get their way, especially when the majority of the commission are wolf loving, anti hunting, mushroom picking toolbags.

@Jackelope
Why was Ridgerat’s post taken down ?

[Rainier10]

Ok so there is a certain member who has been perma banned twice from this site after working their way up the ban ladder multiple times. Then that member wanted to use this forum through another member to keep discussing their situation. A situation that many on this forum encouraged them to step away from and trap elsewhere. Just because you can doesn’t mean you should was the argument. FYI since the incident in the method a very anti hunting anti trapping resident was appointed to the commission. Coincidence? I don’t think so.

Anyway this thread was scrubbed of the twice permabanned members name in order to allow the discussion to continue about the attack on trappers and their rights.

The mod team wants the discussion to continue but does want to give a twice permabanned member a platform.

If you want yo talk about this case quit referencing the permabanned member.

Cleaned up again and unlocked.

I'm curious how does this conversation move forward without using the effected parties names?

I know a guy, who knows a guy who's cousin's cousin knows a guy?

When I posted this, I will say once again that I had talked with the owner of the forum and assured him the effected parties were not posting thru my screen name. Once again, he agreed that this was information that was needed to let the trapping parties know.

People suggested that he move his line. If you are hunting an area and seeing sign do you move to pike's market to hunt? If you have people who are offended by your choice of pursuits?


I will forward to any mod the videos of the person tampering with his traps. and would post this in the thread.

It breaks my heart to read these types of threads.  This state is in bad shape!  We hunters and trappers can’t seem to stick together and we are so out numbered by the anti’s which appear to stick together just fine.   Even if we manage to stick together and support each other we are way out numbered.   It’s very difficult to see light at the end of the tunnel.   Wish there was a good way to educate the people on the fence.

You don't see the stuff that was posted and deleted, I do.

The case itself is important to get out, it has.  She got a slap on the wrist, Jingles got a perma-ban again for things he posted.  He made a promise to Dale to get back on the forum after his first perma-ban,  he didn't keep his word and that's that. I could drag all that out for the internet jury, but we keep mod things in-house and I have no desire to dig up skeletons.

The guys telling him to move his line are WSTA members and prominent trappers who are doing a lot of work for trappers, these are the guys we should all be listening too. 

I too don't think its a coincidence that trapping will be high on the comissions agenda after this case, it got on their radar, one of their own got pinched.

As for the bigoted terms it's against forum rules, pretty simple.  Everyone agreed to those rules when they signed on to HW. 

Leave off the bigoted terms, discuss the case, its simple
