gall bladder buyer busted

[gottatree]

OK guys I have never even brought out a Gall. I do not want them near my truck. We as hound Hunter have a bad rap anyways. I can not believe Bill was this stupid I agree with everything the state does to him, he just gave the anti hunting public more ammo to use against the hunting community and more bad pub. for the next state they want to take away hound hunting from. The WDFW already looks at us like criminals anyways, I have moved away from hunting with other guys now. I know only hunt my dogs with me and my boy. I have had people pull some crap on me when there dogs are ran with mine. Oregon is a short drive and I can run all the Bobs I want.

I cut mine up so no one could dig it out of the gut pile and use it . Not sure if thats the right thing to do but at least it wasnt useable.

While I work for the public school system In Spokane. Several years ago one of our High schools had a jewelry class going in an art class. I saw what the students were doing and I was going to gift/donate several sets of bear claws to the class so they could be made into items for them. I reviewed the laws in the game regs. and then went to the Region 1 office to check to make sure I could. ( Perhaps could have been infinite wisdom or ignorance on my part). The response from them was less than pleasant. It became such a headache wasn't worth my time. The sad part is even if I had and then someone saw them and did an investigation could have still broken the law.

Yeah Bill made a stupid choice in being involved in this, but he is not a p.o.s he really is a good guy. I don't think he deserves that stiff of a penalty for something like this. I totally agree with Machies. Its legal in Idaho they don't have a severe bear poaching problem. And I really don't be live the B.S. there worth that much.

has'nt Bill been in trouble before?
