How Close is to close?

[dirty24d]

Why call the sheriff if the law wasnt being broken, and you know it? Has to be more to the story than is being represented.

If it was your wife alone in the house while a couple morons were shooting in the direction of your house and she was scared and then they told her to F off when she confronted them, wouldnt you tell her you wife to call the cops?  Were talking about possible property damage, injury, loss of life, etc... There are plenty of spots to hunt where your not endangering others and at the end of the day  its friggin duck we are talking about here so its not like these guys were out just trying to make sure they had food on the table  so their families didnt go hungry.

I would have told my wife to call the sheriff also.

They were being unsafe and that is the bottom line

I'm pretty sure he didn't say they we're shooting towards his house.  Your stupid for just assuming all those things you said.

I read nothing in the post that says the people hunting were being unsafe. You guys sure draw a lot of conclusions.



reminds me of Walter.
"first of all Dude, you dont have an ex.  Second, this is a *censored*ing show dog with *censored*ing papers. You cant board it, it gets upset. It hair falls out. *censored*ing dog has *censored*ing papers. OVER THE LINE!"

You are right it is a free Country for EVERYONE to use And its not just duck hunting spots I live on widbey island and their are allot of places you cant even walk on the beaches .Are boat broke down crabbing so was pulling it along the beach and some guy yelled out that we were trespass en and he was calling  the police, told him the motor broke he didn't care.Sorry i don't feel its right for any state to sell land on are nations waterways But i guess they should of thought about that along time ago.     .

High water mark to low is public domain from what I was taught as a kid. If someone wants to call the cops let them. I'll plead my case and if I get a ticket then I do. If you were having problems with a boat and it was my house I'd of looked into helping you.

I did not say i condone what these hunters did, I'm also tired of loosing more hunting spots to people who want to build on every good spot to duck hunt and think they own the  whole beach or its OK if they hunt their but call fish and game when some one else does.And yes i still think the home owner and the state is just as much to blame as the idiots shooting to close to this guys house .Their should be a buffer zone to how close people can build or live next to tidal zones rivers and lakes.

Great Idea, but I doubt the real estate boys and girls would back something like this.
The buffer zone would be beneficial for the ecology of the water way also not to mention better for those folks trying to enjoy a water way from their water craft.

She felt her property and life was being threatened? or noise disturbance maybe?

Fools like that are the ones that give all hunters a black check. It's that 10% that will ruin it for all. Regardless if they had a legal right to be 40 yards from a housing community, they should know better and realize the conflict that would result.
It's all about common sense and respect which they lacked big time. Probably why they got their boat hauled off, drunk and major outlaws, they're out there and we as ethical hunters should help LE any way we can so they're weeded out.

Your a damn dummy if you think there is anything safe about shooting within 40 yards of somebodys house with a shotgun. He already said he didnt mind hunters and enjoyed watching them but these guys were just too close. Kick rocks  bag

[simondude]

And let me know where I said it was safe. It aint very respectful but if its public land and legal to shoot and as long as their shooting in a safe direction  then there is nothing wrong with it.

Its obvious your part of the percentile that just doesnt get it..

Looks like rules for WDFW land only limit discharge of firearms within 500 feet of some designated campgrounds. With that said, what are the county rules? It's possible the county has rules in regard to distance from a residence that a person may discharge a firearm, don't know.

NEVERMIND, had in my mind it was WDFW land, not just public waterway.

[lokidog]

I thought there was a restriction limiting the distance to a dwelling for firing a gun without the owners' permission but I cannot seem to find it referenced anywhere.

[Mr56Jeep]

It is all about safe. Thats the rub. You and your buddy are in a blind, less than 2 feet apart but you feel safe. On the other hand, wife is in the kitchen and hears a gun shot. She becomes an alarmist and stares to sweat. Kids, dogs, cats and the flower garden, oh my!  No idea of the sorce or direction of the shot.  Better freak out and call the cops.

Just a thought.... Maybe I'm wrong?  But think about it.

Unfortunately there are many homes located in prime waterfowl areas.  We keep loosing shooting locations due to new homes as well.  Most are intollerant to the noise and hunters in general.  I have lost many great locations due to homes or new zoning laws.  Its unfortunate, but it the path of the future.  Take pictures of what you have now because my grandchildren may not have the opportunity to hunt.

Gotta love it when a guy like this, who obviously doesnt read, can have such a harsh opinion  on this website bud! Also to add to the made up statment of the "morons shooting in the direction of the house" he said there are plenty of spots to hunt!  Wow please tell us where my man! Obviously this guy is also one of the reasons we dont have too many places to hunt anymore. Maybe this guy lives on 10,000 acres and is a lawyer who buys other peoples property so him and his rich buddys can shoot their limits everyday.

~  ~One of my favorite clothing patterns is camouflage. Because when you're in the woods it makes you blend in. But when you're not it does just the opposite. It's like "hey, there's an *censored*."”

Be come one with Nature......... Then Marinade it.

One moment you're flying south for the winter, then - BANG - gravy.
