Problem Bull. Problem Bull?

Damage tags in Kittitas and Chelan county are ripe with abuse.  How in this day and age can you build/plant a new orchard and then get damage tags.  Adequate fencing should be part of your business plan.

Great point. Also, I think those who benefit from knowing these landowners are going to reflexively defend the system. Heck, I probably would too! I knew a guy down in the lower valley who offered this to me but I never had the time when it was available. But it would have been nice to eat a doe who'd been feasting on "organic" grape leaves, lol.

There's no logical reason a random hunter should be able to draw a tag and hunt private property without permission. Landowners dictating who hunts is the best thing that can happen when it comes to damage tags. It also takes out liability issues in case of injuries being most "friends" or acquaintances wouldn't file law suits if something were to happen. There's more to it than just killing an animal.

I would never advocate for that but the abuse has to be curtailed.  there are landowners claiming corner crossing is illegal and threatening people, all so they can control the tags and  the kills and access to public ground.  Funny when you call 911 they back off real fast.
