Hunting Washington in the Seattle Times Today
« on: August 06, 2008, 05:03:07 AM »
On Tuesday, members of the online group Hunting Washington were upset over the accident, which they said gave true sportspeople and legitimate hunters a bad name.

"Those kids should have been supervised," said member Scott Green. "Even a sharp and safe kid should be supervised."

Green said the shooter broke a cardinal rule of hunting: He failed to positively identify his target with binoculars before firing.

"We do not condone or accept the actions taken by this person and feel that we, as a community, must take a stand against such blatant disregard for safety of those we share the woods with," wrote Green in an e-mail statement Tuesday.

The group would likely oppose additional hunting regulations, but has started a memorial fund to promote educational awareness and outreach programs in Almli's honor, Green said.

"There are already regulations on the books and there are so many hiking trails that there is no way you could do a setback from them," Green said.

Not what I was hoping for, but could have been worse.  No mention of Josh or our actions there, or the countless other things.
My quotes are not exact either, but not too bad.

Pretty decent article, and presented the website and hunters in a good light, I thought.

I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you.
If I ageed with you, then we'd both be wrong.
You are never to old to learn something stupid.

The only part I think was a mistake was naming the site, I think we are in for a rough ride, hope I'm wrong.   :twocents:

I had that concern as well, but they can find it pretty easy anyway through google.
Expressed the concern to Ray, but in the end, we agreed it may not be all bad........

Nope that's not a slam against you or Ray, I just have a bad feeling we are about to become inundated and it won't be pretty.

The 'Times can be fair and balanced on occasion.  They endoresed Dino in 2004.  They endorsed McGavick in 2006 (as a challenger, to boot).

Perhaps our excellent mods will get to use their  :ban: privilege today.  Another idea is to set a short moratorium for new registrations until the dust settles.

Hey Ray, perhaps you could close new registration to the site for a couple weeks?
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Hopefully the firestorm from nwhikers doesn't carry over here, but if it does we have good moderators who will keep things like they always are.
