FLAME THIS! This is not story this is real.
POOF! NO HOUND HUNTING FOR BEAR, COUGAR, BOBCAT AND NO BAITING FOR BEAR. NO TRAPPING.
YES it happened here in Washington (yes the state)a couple of years back I wittnessd a self proclaimed hunter at a game commission meeting get up an state that he tried couger hunting with hounds and didn't like it, didn't think anyone else should. So, along with the anti hunters and the Hunters that did not support these methods of hunting the rest of us LOST THESE METHODS OF HUNTING.
GUESS WHAT a couple of years later we LOST TRAPPING (except live traps). This time we had more support, but not enough. Be careful of what you ask for and support all hunters, trappers and fisherman. We actually thought the anti's would pick on the trappers first, but they went after the hound hunters. The hound hunters were a small group and did not get alot of support from other hunting groups. then they came after the trappers. There was more support but not enough. Funny, it was by popular vote (both time) so everyone in Seattle, Tacoma controls the rest of the state even though the rest of the counties wanted trapping. Yes, I know writing in caps is the same a yelling, but no one listened when we lost hounds, baiting and trapping. I know this is happing in other states and if you do not start yelling now! no one is going to hear you. Paul
