Letter to the Editor: One less bull in the Tieton Dr. herd...

[6x6in6]

No, I haven't. Did I just make an ass out of myself? I'll check it out now.

Not even close, by comparison!  

[Raul Duke]

I hope they print it.

[UBA]

Awesome.

[undertoad]

I would suggest including the vehicle info you have, as proof you were there. They can edit it out if they want to.

[Bigtine96]

Awesome! I would call Kima and other news stations two and let them in on a possible story

The paper here has printed Letters to the Editor on this same subject before, from both tribal and non-tribal viewpoints. I think I was respectful enough that it will be printed. There is a 200 word limit on these letters (at least for the Yakima Herald), and I spent at least 20 minutes rewording and revising it to get it down to 200 words and still get my meaning across. I would have loved to include the Game Warden's name, the truck description and license number, more details about the hunt, more description for those who don't know anything about hunting, etc. But with that small word limit, I had to cut all of that out. I should have spent my entire 5th period writing this and revising it in front of my class: a lesson on revision. It would have been perfect.

And I am now on a mission to send it to other papers in the state. I have to grade some essays first, but I'll continue later.

If you really want to stir the pot... send it to the Seattle times.

This would be your best corse of action.

All East Siders know that Seattle makes the desicion for the whole state. Get the "Greenies" pissed off about it and it will move forward  

Sent it to the TV news stations also. Each station has an investgative reporter, maybe they will look in to it  


Seng it to Ken Shram 

[fishunt247]

I have sent it to the Wenatchee World, TriCities Herald, Daily Record, and Seattle Times thus far. Hopefully they get printed. Be watching for them.

Hell, don't do that, the liberal tree huggers will have hunting shut down in the whole state of WA for everyone!

Thank you for doing that i agree we all need to do something about this its all bs and im gonna write letters too and if you think its racist F OFF

[JCClement]

I too would have to say thank you, and agree with the decision to send it in.  It is tough to pay the fees for licenses, chances at a draw, etc, to find out that someone else can just do as they please.  Hopefully the right people will see fit to making some changes that will benefit everybody who chooses to hunt and/or fish (for that matter).

What's going to happen if anything happens is the percentage the tribes take vs non tribal will go back to 50% tribal and 50% sportsmen so u will only hurting yourself so have at it. Did anybody read yesterday's letter to the editor just more whining and crying about what indians and their gill nets do just worded nicely doesn't even mention how more damage to fish runs r done by non tribal gill netters.
