Buckley Elk shot in city limits

[bushmaster]

The elk was shot on private property, in the city limits. The key word here is "private" property. New thread in 10 min.

If it's private property then post it! I read you don't have to in Buckley; however, if you really care about your pet elk why don't you show it???

Im sure its a state law not having to post your property,I could be wrong..But it wasnt his property so hes still in the wrong..I guess we should post our cars and everything else so some lame ass knows its not his..Hunters and citizens need to know themselves where the lines are..

When my kid went through hunters ed they had to go through the walking course and there was a gate set up with no signs. She was marked down on that part of it cause she still did not ask permission. They had told her and every one else in the class even know it is not posted it is still private property and it is conted as tresspassing. ( only two people did not get marked down on that one)

This story was posted a couple weeks ago and discussed in length...

From what I understand, state law is that private property does not have to be posted to still be private property. Some guys I know got in trouble with that this deer season, and tried to say that it shouldn't matter because the land wasn't posted. In the end, they got let go on it, because there was no obvious boundary, like a fence, tree line, ditch, what have you, but they've been warned. It's not like there's not a ton of public and corporate land available to hunt on.

You're supposed to know where you're hunting, and if you hunt private property, you need to have permission. Seems obvious to me, but I'm a property owner who gets trespassed on almost every year, in addition to having the signs that I do put up torn down and vandalized.

I have no sympathy whatsoever for the kind of person who would trespass onto someone's private, residential land and shoot an elk there.
