Title: Non-Game Species....Not a Target!
Post by: Chukar on December 12, 2008, 01:17:48 PM
I posted this in the Political area but probably needs to be here as well:

New to the board-Thanks for letting me aboard.
I found your site through Predator Masters...really nice to have a Washington State focus.

I hunt coyotes, bobcats, mountain lion as well as just about every game bird so I come from a hunters view.
In checking out the small game photo's in the Gallery portion I noticed two-if not three-photo's of illegally taken non-game species. One even was captioned "After hours in 90 degree heat, I had to kill something" or words to that effect. These do not enhance our reputations or protect our privilege as hunters.  To advertise the taking of protected game by adult or child is not legal at the worst and shows lack of credible judgement at the least.

Anti's, land owners or just folks on the borderline of judging hunting as a valid tool of population management see these types of offenses and react accordingly.

Would be smart to take them down and to think twice before uploading shot's of non-game species hanging from your game belt.
