Illegal shed hunting

[billythekidrock]

Maybe F&W should charge for shed hunting..then they might enforce a season.

While they are at it, maybe they should outlaw the use of calls when bear hunting.

Don't think that they haven't though of it.

If nobody makes a complaint there will never be a few. Not making a complaint because nobody else will is a crappy ass reason for not making a complaint.

IMO if you no someone that brakes the law and u don't turn them in YOUR JUST AS BAD!!!!!!

I agree but I don't think just me turning them in will do anything it would take a few complaints to get things going legally and I know nobody else that knows them will turn them in.These 2 or 3 people don't sell them they do it for the greediness of getting them before anyone else.

You tell me who I can tell that will take names and actually give a sh!t I know the "ONE" game warden we have can't patrol the boundaries alone and county police are pretty busy so if you know one person I can tell that has the time and resources as well as the give a crap you tell me because I have reported things to the game department before and got nowhere.

Did you try the State Patrol? You have names apparently. I'd think you could get somewhere.

I have names but I don't have solid evidence other then his own big mouth bragging about doing it.

I was thinking of going and waiting in line when the gate opens with my 11 year son but by the sounds of it is it really worth it heck i would be happy finding 1 set but i have never gone up there to do it so would have no idea where to go?

If your dumb enough to sneak in a closed area then even dumber to run your big mouth around a small town you deserve everything you get.

If you can go during the week I have been up there the first week and have found a few.I don't care how many people there is there not going to find them all and even if you don't find anything its quality time with the boy

man it must get crazy over her, i'm used to shed hunting in idaho, no competition, go all day long without seeing a single soul, doesnt even sound fun over here

Believe me there is enforcement of it, just not much. A study done by an independent group in 2008 found that Yakima County should have 7 WDFW Officers, Kittitas should have 5, well both counties have 3 officers. DNR is also suppose to patrol the area, but the DNR Officer based in Kittitas county has a patrol area consisting of 15 eastern WA counties, and he is the only DNR Officer for those 15 counties. WDFW does make cases for these violators every year, but a lack of personnel is the big problem, not a lack of will to enforce it.
