Wow.....10 pages of bigotry and hate, 7500 reads and almost 200 posts. Thank goodness for the few posts of reason, thank you.

War? Boycots? Treaties? Is it any wonder that the tribes acting as co-managers are reluctant to act in sport fishers favor?

Come on guys.... if this was a WDFW screw up, would you be calling for war and succession from the State? Or even boycot of license fees?

I have spent far more than 2 hrs combined tied up next to WDFW and Coast Guard in Puget Sound over the last 20 some odd years while they verified I was legally operating my vessel and fishing within the regs. No outrage there, infact most here support that.

I say these hunters should receive an apology, get some casino bucks and be allowed to harvest an elk on the reservation. Then, we should hire Port Gamble S'Klallam LE to patrol area boat launches to prevent break ins and thievery and these officers should have to do it as community service. ( only half serious here)


I clearly support these individuals right to restitution. I don't support a police State in any circumstances, but this is being blown so far out of proportion that it is pathetically sad. Some times it is honestly embarrassing to admit I am a sport fisherman.
