KNOW YOUR REGS!! GMU 530 IS ANTLERLESS IN LATE SEASON

[TikkaT3-270Shortmag]

Have talked to two different individuals that killed or shot at a bull in unit 530.  I tell them and they say its always been 3pt or better or cow.  I grab my regs and show them nuff said.

I know I'll get jumped on for this but....  There really should be a test required to renew your hunting license every 5 years or so.  As well as an accuracy test.  Especially an accuracy test.  Unfortunately every year there is a higher and higher percentage of people who should not be carrying a gun and bow.  There are too many people who don't keep themselves up to date on regulations, don't target practise to be efficient with their weapon of choice etc. 

People think that hunting is a right.  It is not a right it is a privelage that we should all take seriously.  If we are taking another things life we owe it to that animal that we are doing it legally and ethically.  I strongly believe that there should be steps taken to "weed" out the the ones that do not belong in the woods.

Now I know alot of people will say that we NEED more hunters for a stronger voice.  I disagree.  These types of hunters are not going to contribute any voice.  And in fact are a hinderance to hunting.  Because these are the a-holes that give other hunters a bad name and give the Anti's ammo to use against us.  If we took steps to get rid of the slobs etc. then we would be far better off.

Colockumelk,

As a self appointed junior moderator I am revoking your right to an opinion on Hunt WA...until you return from Alabama.  Your posts have gone drastically down hill and I can only assume it's because you have lost your appreciation for a hard earned deer or elk in the wet, cold Washington weather.  When you are ready to climb down from your treestand that overlooks your tecomate foodplot and put down your photo album of trail cam pics of all the white tail bucks you have to choose from...I will allow you to voice your opinion.  Until then you can continue to fill the rest of your 15 management doe tags and keep your opinion to yourself.

i agree that these guys need to be punished because they dient follow the rules, but i believe to call them a-holes, and slobs, and say that they do not belong in the woods is a little to harsh. these guys made an honest mistake by not checking the regs for new changes. it was a stupid mistake, which should not have been made, but they made it, and will hopefully learn from it, and return to hunting legally like they had intended to do. i do not see these people as a "hindrance to hunting" because they are most likely honest people who made a mistake. the true hindrance to hunting are those who go out with the intention to poach and break the rules, not the experienced hunter who makes a mistake.

[ellensburgpo]

Wow

Mistakes due to negligence are no better than poaching etc. in my opinion.  I check the regulations everywhere I hunt every year as soon as I get my hands on the new issue of the laws to see if anything changed.  It's not that tough, and there's no excuse not to, especially the past few years with all the changes.
