Other Activities > Shed Hunting
Shed hunters shot at.
Rainier10:
I agree with A.Cole 100%. Enforce the no trespassing laws, enforce the no motorized vehicle laws, enforce the shooting at people laws, problems solved.
OutHouse:
How is licensing even an issue with this? They would have been justified in returning fire and killing this *censored*.

Middle ground here - have a license requirement for the sales but the guy collecting a few for his own use is good to go.

:yeah:
They are technically running a business and I personally think it should be treated as such. The amount of lawlessness (trespassing, wildlife harassment, assault and intimidation) that goes on with some areas that I used to shed hunt has gotten exponentially worse since it essentially became big business.
These guys that are out there intentionally "jumping" the deer herds and stressing out the animals just to get them to drop their sheds. I about got into a very serious situation once when a guy kept pushing this 170's 4 point. The buck had its tongue hanging out and laboring and the damn guy wouldn't leave it alone.

Just wondering how a $100 license is going to lessen the pressure on the animals or insanity of the commercial guys...

I don't know maybe it would expose them to the Dept of Revenue? They are technically a business operating without a business license? Make it $1,000 commercial license if they are selling them. Everything else is more expensive as a business. I can pull an L&I electrical permit as a homeowner for $X amount. If a licensed electrical contractor pulls the same permit for the same work it is 3-4 times $X (it has been a while since I have pulled one so no idea the cost these days)

I’d be against a license 100%. But I would be 100% for a shed hunting opening date. Give the *censored* animals a break

100% agree. You can’t sell the meat so you shouldn’t be able to sell the capes or antlers shed or attached on the skull plate.
