What is the penality?
« on: November 23, 2021, 05:29:17 PM »
Have traps out and in one area that is promising  a lot of hippie bedwetting sissies hike with their phydoughs and this one trap in particular is cable locked to a tree, my question is if these bedwetting sissy's damage/mess with the trap and caught on trail camera is there anything that they can be charged with?

 I would call the local game warden and ask the question.  He might pursue it or knows if the local prosecutor would file any charges. I would guess you would have a better chance of a ticket being written over on that side of the mtns.

The spandex runs the valley  :chuckle:

We hunted the rendezvous Methow wildlife area up on Lewis Butte  for the chewuch late hunt
the amount of hikers,walkers without hunter orange and loose running dogs was unbelievable and frankly dangerous
People parked in the no parking area near the handicapped Hunter access
Just to avoid having to pay for a discovery pass
I thought about writing the WDFW but talked to a local guy who said if you squawk guess who will lose access to the wildlife area
The hunters 🤦‍♂️

Well here’s the answer on the west side and it sucks. Had a guy find a trap or his dog did and he released a bobcat and stomped on my cage then threw it on the railroad tracks how I know is I followed his tracks to the trap on the tracks then followed them to his house where he admitted to doing it and quote he’s a defender of wildlife  :dunno gave him 2 options
#1 write me a apology and pay for cat and trap
#2 I call the warden and we go that route
His was to basically piss off so one call two call finally get a sheriff of all people and we talk he goes talks to the idiot who confesses to everything, worthless cop comes back and says he wants to just pay me which at this point that deal is off the table to me .
I got the game dept. Involved and they get statements and all that again and he files it with king county which after 3 years drops the case on the shmuck and I’m told I have to take it to small claims court
So I would say if you catch someone messing with your traps just save the time and money and just beat the piss outta them with a smile

I've always found the valley to be a pretty spacious place with plenty of room to get away from people. If it's a high traffic area I wouldn't set there anyway but then again I suck at trapping and the places I chose don't seem to produce much.

That would be a option but there cones a time in life and an age when you stop busting knuckles and start busting caps.
Another solution would be extract skunk essence with needle and syringe and inject it between window and rubber seal on doors of their vehicle, same place locksmiths slide a slimjim.

In this day and age, especially in W WA, I would expect that there was a greater chance of them going after the trapper for hurting the dog, and thus, the owner's feelings than for anything they do to the trap.

That would be the probably scenario here in the Methow with all the spandex wearing Judas Goat following sheep that have infected the valley, Come on Covid purge the valley.
