Robert, nothing is black and white.

My ex brother in law has lived on the Washougal for 50 years (since he was born) and I've seen it all. Many people who grew up on that river harvested salmon and deer in the area in an unsportsmanlike manner to feed their families. There are also the "fisherman" who cannot grasp the ability to catch a fish or shoot a deer any other way.

Yes, the poachers and snaggers are there, but to saddle everyone with that is irresponsible and bound to raise the hackles of the unfairly labeled. Maybe you should moderate your blanket statement to get a fairer response and avoid baiting the people who would just as soon kick your a$$ for that kind of remark.
