THATS GREAT!!!
So what have we suggested to fishtuff.
1. Run away from the problem by going to another state.
2. Buy yourself some privacy in eastern washington, but deal with trespassers because your only there a few weeks out of the year to manage it.
3. Buy new equipment and change stratagies.
These suggestions work but they only solve the problem for one guy. Maybe we should work to solve the overcrowding situation.
Why are some lands so heavily posted? It is because of idiots putting holes in signs, wounding animals, littering, off road travel, and just disregard for the property they hunt. The result of this is, "KEEP THE F@#! OFF MY LAND", attitude from landowners. This forces me, fishtuff, and most of the other licences buyers to hunt public land. When we get there we are supprised and upset that we find overcrowding of hunters and no animals to hunt.
What do we do? Run away from the problem by going to another state. Have enough money to lease some land and say "THIS IS MINE AND I WON'T SHARE". Live with it because it is not my responsability to fix it.
We need to change the image of the hunter to the landowner. We need to get the state more involved in cathcing idiots.
Dont be the idiot.
Let the idiots know they are idiots.
Dont assume everybody is an idiot.
Be active in providing suggestions to the WDFW (even if you dont think they listen).
If we change the image of the hutner to the landowner maybe they will let people hunt their land again. This will spread people around a bit.
