You should feel bad
« on: October 29, 2022, 09:12:56 PM »
Maybe I’ll catch some flack for this but this is my opinion and you did a whole lot of things wrong.

To the 3 young men in the white ford with dealer plates, if your on here you know who you are. I’ll congratulate you on bagging the 4x4 bull, but what I won’t do is congratulate you on is not meeting the requirements for wearing blaze orange (at least one of you was wearing a vest). Nor the fact that you jumped over not 1 but 2 separate barbed fences going into private land (which per the land owner you didn’t have permission to be on).
 But the one that irks me the most is that you shot and wounded the spike bull (your first target) continued to pump rounds at him until the big bull stood up and you changed your target.  I will not congratulate you for taking 13 shots at 2 bulls to ONLY pursue one kill, apparently you need more time behind the scope before buying a license. There’s no excuse for only stopping with one downed animal when you shot and wounded both.

I really hope by next year you have a more ethical approach. As a side note, not that cool to slip under a guy that’s been watching said bulls for 4 hours, which is maybe my mistake on being focused on them. That’s all, my opinion you should feel crappy. I sure hope to see you trespassing again tomorrow to find your spike.

Well, that’s horrible. Not you for pointing it out, but them. Good grief. No wonder ‘hunters’ get a bad rep.

Dealer plates like DLR plates or dealer plates like they just bought the truck??

Those people aren't on HW, this site is like 10% of WA hunters at best, and I like to think it's the better part of the hunters for the most part.

Seems like you should file a report if multiple rules were broken? :dunno:

Agreed, call the man.  Hopefully you have the plate info.

Nothing to report. Lack of blaze orange? Guys wound animals all the time. Trespassing is up to the landowner if he wants to file which I will give him the plate info and location. I guarantee that he’ll find 13 empty casings on the hillside for proof that they were there.

Video does wonders for investigations. If they are tresspassing and kill an animal they are poaching.

That's for you to decide, not fish and game? Great job doing nothing about it. Keep up the, uh, good work?   :tup:

Problem is in this state people think trespassing is not that big of a deal. Hunters that don't follow up on game they shot at is uncalled for. Shooting 13 times at animals seems to be just throwing lead out there hoping to hit something, and not doing right by the animal by know what your and guns capabilities are and hunt within those. Just my opinion.
The only man who never makes a mistake, is the man who never does anything!!
The further one goes into the wilderness, the greater the attraction of its lonely freedom.

Call it in with all the info you have, talk to the land owner and let him know what you are doing. Get your points (I know, do it for the right reason)

I'm a little confused.
Witnessed multiple possible criminal violations and the decision to non report.
Let Leo decide if it's worthy of investigation.
And often these aren't isolated offenses. It's possible there are other reports of the same group, and all's Leo needs is that one final tip to break the investigation wide open. :twocents:

Wow. I was with you until you didn’t report it and said there was no reason to report it. There are a crap ton of reasons to report it.
