Title: WDFW wants to buy more?
Post by: washelkhunter on May 31, 2012, 01:24:13 PM: A big chunk of forest bordering the north shore of Merrill Lake is up for grabs. Its a coalition aquisition as usu with RMEF and others. Also a big chunk they want between Klicitat and Goldendale. I guess this state does'nt know its broke. In the same section of the paper they talk about upcoming cuts. :dunno:
Why the NFS isnt picking up the tab for the Merrill Lake peice is beyond me. Also on the front page was an article about the supermajority requirement for tax increases ruled by an activist judge of course to be unconstituional, even though you will recall the referendum was passed by the taxpaying voters of Wa. Better start practicing your bend over and spread it technique cause they are going to be digging deep. :ass:

Especially unique pieces like this one. Now i'm NOT gona carry water for the WDFW, but have you looked at all the remote"Hunting" property for sale right now? There seems to be plenty for fairly reasonable $$$. 4 years ago there was nearly ZERO! and if it did come available it was much more expensive than now. If the WDFW is going to buy land, they might as well do it now when the prices are better and the pieces are available. :twocents:

I would like to point out to you that if i had been offered the opportunity to by a couple acres in there then i would be paying TAXES on that property to the county and state. Recreational property is such that is held by the private sector not gov'mt.
