Where are all the WA hunters?

I've been reading this site for a while, and registered on Jan. 1st. I'm kind of disappointed the Washington guys don't post very often here. What's up with that, we as hunters should support each other. We have enough bunny huggers against us, let's stick together. I hope I'm not being over zealous but I look at the other state sites and they communicate a lot more than WA does.

I think you will find them on the hunting washington site. I enjoy checking out this site too for out of state info but the washington site has a lot more in state stuff than here.nwhunter
 
Washington State is so miss managed, why would u want to talk about it. Washington only cares about quanity of tag sales instead of quailty of animals. Between the indians killin everything and the game departmens poor mismanagement of wildlife in washington state there is nothing left to talk about.
 
There you go, your talking about it. That something to talk about. Actually I agree with you. I'm fed up with this state and will moving out in about 10 years when I retire. I've lived here my whole life and it's gotten worse and won't get any better. It's not just the game laws, management, lack of elk/deer. It's also the traffic, PC people, treehuggers I could go on and on.
 
do you read the huntin fool by any chance? they do a state by state breakdown of good units and were to hunt. when the get to washington they say its a bad state dont waste time putting in for it. for trophy hunters its not a good state to come to. for people looking to shoot any legal deer it is still tuff to hunt. i go to colorado each year and you pass up at least 8 to 10 legal bucks a day. wyoming same thing. if we had masnaged animals this state would be the same way. but there is to many tree hugging, granola eating , soy latte drinking yuppie mother fuckers in this state. washington gives out way to many tags and to long of a deer season. they also need to put some units back to 2 point or better or even 3 point or better .
 
LAST EDITED ON Jan-19-09 AT 00:14AM (MST)[p]Honestly, my Washington hunts are just camping trips with a bunch of buddies. If we get something fine, if we don't that's fine too. Although someone at least gets a deer.
I've got 12 elk points and 8 deer points and can't draw.
It's BS, especially wheen after 12 points your maxed out and won't gain any more points.
We've been hunting Isaho the last few years.

All of the above is the reason I like this site so much. Most of the people on this site seem like good people and the one that aren't are entertaining.
 
Rackcrawler, I know your pain with the whole point system. But there is no max on points in the state of washington. My best friend had 15 points (5+10 with the poacher)when he drew his archery elk tag in the blues in 2004. I have another friend who is sitting on 14 points for elk and can't pull a tag. I have 9 points and can't pull an archery tag to save my life. So with the crap for general season in washington I hunt Oregon, Idaho, and Montana.
 
ARROWCHUCKER-
I must have been mistaken, I checked the regs, and it's not in there. I believe it may be something they are talking about doing. I get the WDFG e-mails and maybe that's where I heard it.
The way it was explained was: Once you have 12 points no more points will be in your drawing, you keep putting in and getting points but they won't be counted in your drawing. They didn't say that the points that aren't used will be added to your next draw. In other words: your buddy has 15 points, if he draws, it will be with 12 points because they don't use the other 3 points. And like I said earlier they didn't say what happens with his 3 points. I hope I explained that right?
One other thing I read was; 25% of the draw will be allocated to people with 8/10-12 points. If they allocate 100 tags in an area, 25 will be for people with 8/10-12 points and 75 tags will be for the people with 1-8/10 points. So the odds are better for multiple points. I don't remember if the cutoff was 8 or 10 points, that's why I put 8/10.
We need to watch when the game regs come out in May. Which is another thing about this state, Why do we have to wait so dam long for Game regs and draw results. Look at Utah, I think their deadline is 1/31, Montana 3/15 and so on. Every year when I schedule my vacation and have to wait until June to know the drawing results, it's BS.
 
If there is any change in the point system as you are suggesting it will have to come in future meetings. There are no max points currently and personally I don't see any problem with the current point system where the points are squared and each person has that many chances in the drawing. I hear of so many people complaining they can't get drawn with max points but it still gets down to the "Luck of the Draw" and they are probably just putting in for the Honey Hunts that everyone else also puts in for with alot of points. The odds of drawing a Moose tag somewhat show this. I have alot of Moose points and may never draw being its a OIL hunt. I was fortunate last year to draw both Elk(with 6 points)and Deer (with 8 points) and I have no problem going back into the drawing this year with just 1 chance to someone with 12 points/ 144 chances or more. The Deer hunt I drew was the only one I put in for and it is a primo hunt but the Elk was the third choice and I still had a great hunt getting a 6x6 in an area that the draw odds aren't bad in and the tribes hunt heavily. I look forward to putting in for them again this year and I accept my hope for the Luck of the draw. I think it will be a problem if they ever start "awarding" hunts according to points and take the Luck factor out. WDFW has many problems but it is trying to control the hunting in a state that is much more urban then Idaho,Mont,Utah,Wyoming,etc and they probably have more tribes to deal with hunting these areas. There really aren't alot of good solutions. I too would Love to see more 2 and 3 point restrictions even in the Western Wash Blacktails but the sad reality is that we will be letting them go just to see the tribes shoot them to defeat the purpose. I do hope some of you that have the max points get your dream hunts this year....Les
 
i have no problem with the luck of the draw. but what about the trophy hunters who save there points just for for the gravy units. for example i got drawn for mule deer back to back years and got big bucks both times. the first year i had 7 points and the next 0 points. i am gratefull but its not fair for the guy who has max points.in other states with a true point system like utah if its a 8 point draw they give the guy who has 8 the tag. then a percentage goes to the random draw for people who have less. using moose sheep and goat draws in comparison to elk and deer is like apples to oranges. there is way more deer and elk then moose sheep and goat so there should be less tags.but it in my opinon it should be the same.unfortunatly washington has decent animals and trophys due come ocassionaly its still not a trophy state. and i believe its due to poor management on the states part.
 
Hello folks, Washington could be better no dought, I just feel lucky to get out every day that I get to go. I have max points for the big three and I would need to look in the gun cabinet but believe it is 13. I have been drawn for big bull 4 times in the 13 years and great deer tags 7 times. I have hunted most western states and have shot great bucks in all except Oregon. I believe we have it way better the Oregon. I do feel Washington is under rated and I have seen some of the largest bucks of my life in Washington. I do wish the department would pull there head but don't see it coming any time soon. I thank god every day I get to hunt and for the few extra bucks to hunt out of state some years. Good luck on your draws this year, I hope you all get the tags you want.
 
I am a very serious trophy hunter who lives in Washington and hunts several western states. The current system we have is in my opinion the most fair system for all. If we went to a point system like colorados which is based entirely on the points you have,(The tags are given out to those with the most points in order)the best units in the state would quickly become once in lifetime draw. Once you drew a good elk tag you would never draw one again due to so many people being ahead of you. Fortunately a lot of people dont understand how the system works so many guys burn their pts on cow and doe tags as their final choice for a unit. If you keep putting in you will draw but you have to understand that even though 9 pts gives you 82 chances in the draw there are probably 500 guys with 1 or 2 pts which equals appx 1200 chances total so although you have a much better chance than any of them individually as a group those 1 and 2 pt guys will pull many tags do to the sheer numbers. I do feel Washington would become a real sleeper state for trophys if they could control the tribes however.
 
LAST EDITED ON Jan-28-09 AT 09:43AM (MST)[p]How did your hunts turn out Moosestock? Were they good quality hunts?
 
Romulus,
My two permit hunts were good and OK although I scored on both. My problem was that my "Luck" gave me two tags that ran at the same time in different units....but a nice problem I guess. I was fortunate that I live within ten miles of each unit so that was good at least and I worked in the woods hauling logs for over 25 years so I knew both extremely well. The Elk hunt I hit first and got Lucky and scored a nice 6x6 the second day of the season....Not real high or wide but good diameter and nice long points. Probably my third best Bull so that hunt went well being it was in a very high Tribal hunting area that isn't any kind of a Slam Dunk as a permit only area ...The White River unit if you know it. I was disappointed with my Deer hunt as it was in a very hard to draw Tacoma Watershed and after the Elk hunt it left me 5 days to hunt. There are B&C class Blacktail in there but I couldn't find that exceptional Buck I was hoping for. The weather was too nice and the rut seemed to be on hold. I passed on Bucks each day and finally settled on a really nice 3x4 Blacktail/Mulie cross the last couple hours of the last day of the hunt. The first time I have scored a cross Buck so that was neat. I did pass on a couple that were bigger trying for that exceptional one. I would have been thrilled with the Buck I got in the normal season but it wasn't what I was looking for in the that unit. Now my points are gone and I will probably have to wait unless the Luck is strong...I do have alot of Moose points and hope to have a shot at that some day............Les
 
Moosestalk,
The last time I drew for Elk was in the White River in '97 and haven't drawn since. I put in for deer and elk in 2008 in the watershed and obviously didn't draw. The odds of drawing the GRWS are high. I live about 10 miles from the watershed gate and 15 or so from the White river unit. I'm glad you did well last season. Congratulations on your success.

Sounds like you did very well. I live in Buckley so I am very familiar with both units. I have never had a tag for the shed however I have taken people with tags a few times. I havent been in there since it reopened however. Did you see a lot of deer or are the cats still keeping them down? I heard there is a 400 inch bull in there right now that is going to be on the web soon. I know the guy who has pictures of it but he wont release them yet. If I find out the site that has them I will post it. We killed some good bulls on the White River unit in 1999 and 2001, 314 BC and 343 BC , but i got tired of the Indian issue and havent hunted the west side since 2003. I put in for east side tags but havent drawn one yet. I drew one last year on the first draw that got screwed up. The naches early was my only choice. Can you still shoot a bear or cat in the Shed with the Deer tag? I always saw a lot bears up high in there.
 
Yes, you can still shoot a bear or cougar or both if your lucky. I drew a deer tag three seasons back for the Green River Watershed. I posted a pic of that blacktail in the "Blacktail" forum. I like the point system that we have also.
 
I should clarify my response. I agree wit Ronulus that our point system is the fairest of the points systems used thoughout the western states. Please, no flames. Just my opinion. I just wish that the game was managed better to go along with the point system.
What Moosestock said about the GRWS. It is indeed the bee's knes when it comes to B&C blacktails. Also the "Tag" to draw if you are after a MONSTER bull. They are now giving out three any bull tags for that unit.
I work for the railroad (BNSF) as an engineer and we have a run that goes right through the watershed from Auburn to Ellensburg. Anyone that works for the railroad and is a hunter LOVES that run. We always see lots of deer and elk. In the spring and early summer we always see multiple bears also. Some of the bears that I have seen while working would BLOW YOUR SOCK OFF!!! If they keep giving out a few "any Bull" tags each year then you will see a bull or two that make the books from that unit.I'll post my blacktail pic again as it has been awhile since I last posted it and it has been deleted from the Blacktail forum. This buck is a good representation of what you can expect as long as you are selective. Be patient and they will show themselves.

Nice buck. I have friends who cut timber in the shed and found some incredible sheds in there. I took a teenage cousin on the deer hunt in 1995 and he killed a real nice 4Pt with eyeguards that was 20 inches wide.
 
LAST EDITED ON Mar-04-09 AT 05:19PM (MST)[p] I'd be interested in talking with you more about that hunt (Moose), I've been applying for GR-A for nine years now. Sounds like a pretty good hunt worth waiting for, I was thinking of trying for an easier draw, still undecided.
 
LAST EDITED ON Mar-04-09 AT 05:18PM (MST)[p] Just curious how far you have to go back in there to get into good hunting ground, are there options near the gate at all?
 
You guys are spot on!!! I'm a Washington state resident born and raised and the hunting is just plain bad. I usually go to Idaho, Montana, or Wyoming. I am 53 now and when I was a kid hunting with my dad this state wasn't too bad . It is truley the poorest run game department in the U.S. It's really to bad because I think this state has some of the nicest habitat in the country. I spend a good deal of time in Eastern Washington during the early winter just scouting and see some great bucks but it's after the season is closed and most of these deer have migrated down from higher elevations. The other big problem in this state is private property. Too many tree huggers own a lot of land and won't allow you to hunt on it.
 
Get out of your truck and you will find that this state has some awesome hunting! Hell, if a fat ass like me can bag over a dozen P&Y bucks and 1/2 dozen P&Y bulls it can't be all that bad!

WA state has poor results from wildlife big game management. Seems focus is on fish. Oregon also does a poor job with big game. Predator management is a big issue in both states.

Seems curious I can draw very good tags in WY as non-resident more often than in WA as resident. My definition of a good tag is chance to see multiple better than average sized bucks or bulls if hunt hard with 50% or better odds fill the tag.
 
>pope and young yes boone and
>crocket now thats another story.

Most of my critters score high enogh to qualify for both. I find that the vast majority of folks who b!tch about how crappy our hunting is are too lazy to put out the effort that it takes to find quality animals.

I've hunted Oregon and Montana as well. Oregon, I didn't see as much game as Washington. Montana, I probably saw more game, but where we hunted is wide-open and easy to spot critters, hard to compare. I've never had any difficulty getting a buck in Washington and I have always harvested branched-antlered bucks and am somewhat selective. That said, my biggest concern in Washington is land management, not game management, though they go hand in hand. Western Washington is losing thousand's of acre's of hunting land's every year and if it continues at this pace, we will be forced to go out of State eventually.
 
I would love to see your dozen bucks and six bulls that qualify for Boone and Crockett killed in Washington State. Unless you are an Indian or you are buying Governor tags each year that feat is next to impossible. Pope and Young has low minimums but most Washington bucks do not even gross the B&C minimums and other than the blues true B&C bulls are also quite rare. Lets see the pics.
 
You guys have to be kidding, right? Ask anyone who had been on this site for more than a couple of years and they can verify what I say. Romulus, honestly, you really need to get out of your truck and try actually hunting for a change. There are a couple of other guys on here as well who have taken dozens B&C qualifying WA animals. No, you don't need a special permit, private land, belong to a tribe or be a poacher to pull it off, just determination, booth leather and knowing where to look. You can't do it by being a "weekend warrior". Some of us have spent 200 plus days a year in the woods scouting and honing skills. Give it a try and you might be surprise what you see.

Back on topic ... to answer your question yes many are spending their time on hunt-wa but many are also spending their time on huntfishnw.com these days. HFNW has more information specifiacally about the NW and WA and also has the best photogs on the internet ... many are pro's and one has more cover shots than all other sites combined!

Some of us amateurs on huntwa see more big bucks in a day than some of you pros in a year even when you are hunting your ranches and game farms. Nice one Mark. You always have to make it personal don't you.
 
I just want to see some pics of these bucks and bulls. A big washington buck is 170 and a big washington bull is 330 imo. If your talking b&c I want to see them.
 
"HFNW has more information specifiacally about the NW and WA"

Are you the one who writes all the political ads on TV/radio leading up to elections? You know, the ads with one blatant lie after another.
 
>Are you a member of Huntwa?
> I post lots of
>pics there.


Yes I am. I have seen lots of your pics on there.
 
Lets see the pics then. I suppose you are one of those guys who does not have them scored and only shows close friends. No one has dozens of B&C deer and elk from Washington. Or are the 200 days a year you are spending at garage sales across the country. Put up or shut the pie hole.
 
LAST EDITED ON Nov-25-10 AT 03:31AM (MST)[p]Seriously dude, you are speaking out of you're a$$! I am not about to appease some internet fruitcake like yourself. You call yourself a "very serious trophy hunter", where are your trophies, in your mind or in someone else's trophy room? I will say it again, if you cannot fathom that there are people in this state who have legally harvested many "trophy" quality bucks and bulls, then you have never spent much time away from the road. Jealousy is an awful thing dude, let it go and actually get out in the deep woods for a change.

Just as I suspected. You have now changed the story from dozens of B&C deer and elk to "many trophies" and I suppose you hunt with your own hand made bow so a "trophy is a 140 class muley or a 280 class bull. My original comment was in regards to the trophy quality of the state in general and I have killed my share of what I consider trophies but they dont meet your standard of B&C. I did not figure you had even one B&C animal harvested in Washington and now I am sure of it. Good day and happy thanksgiving!
 
LAST EDITED ON Nov-25-10 AT 10:18AM (MST)[p]Apparently you are unable to read. Nowhere did I say that I have taken "dozens" of B&C deer and elk, I said that I have taken over a dozen P&Y bucks and bulls with MOST of them qualifying for B&C. I doubt if you have ever killed anything that even qualifies for the P&Y minimum. Most of my P&Y/B&C bucks are whitetails with a few blacktails and one mulie. All of my bulls are roosies including my 350 net archery bull which I had plastered all over this site a coupe of years ago. You are welcome to come to my home and see for yourself (I know that you don't have the stones) but I am not falling for your idiotic internet tough guy crap. You are just another anonymous punk calling folks out for something that you are incapable of achieving for yourself. As I have said before, I have more than proven myself and as well has others like Bone (who has more big bucks than just about anyone tht I know of) so there really is no need to continue this asinine argument. You are wrong plain and simple and I am done with it. Have a great turkey day.

You stated you had over a dozen bucks and a 1/2 dozen bulls that qualified for P&Y of which most qualified for B&C. In my book that means you should have killed around 15 B&C bulls and bucks. I dont doubt that you are a very good archer and have killed some great trophies. Sounds like your bull would qualify for B&C great job. However unless the whities are net typical over 170 they do not and the muley is probably around 150-160 which we never doubted anyway. P&Y minimums are far below B&C and much easier to obtain in a state like ours due to the fact that most of our units do not have trophies large enough to qualify for B&C. We have plenty of muleys over 150 and bulls over 300 or whatever the minimums are for P&Y. We dont have many muleys that net over 190 or bulls that net over 375. You popped off about how many you had and I called you out on it. Many of us have killed many Washington animals that score over the P&Y minimums. Personally I dont consider a 150 muley a trophy but that is just my opinion. Not taking away from bow hunters as I like to hunt archery myself at times. I just think a trophy class animal is a certain size regardless of the weapon that harvested it.
 
I'm with you romulus, I called out Boneaddict on the other site and he had me banned. A lot of these hunters that are talking about the other Washington site are from the western Washington side of the mountains(Seattle and Bellvue)you know what I mean? I was a taxidermist in Eastern Washington for over ten years and took in over 100 deer a year. I guess they just didn't want to bring me all these 190"+ deer to me. I did a lot in the 160-170" and a couple in the 190". But you know those guys just passed those up.LOL
 
"called me out" for what. I must not have been overly concerned with what you thought or I'd remember. I ban people for being threatening or for being extremely crude, thats about it, so if you got banned by me there was good reason. If it was from someone else I'm sure that was your own doing.
 
I guess I've banned a pediphile and a couple guys addicted to and posting porn too. Hopefully one of those wasn't you.
 
Bone showing his true colors. Trying to egg on a fight on another site LOL. Get a life Bone!
 
My post had nothing to do with "Bone". It was directed to Polar Bear who was bragging about all the Boone and Crockett qualifying animals he had killed in Washington State. He somehow tried to bring Bone into the conversation when I wanted to see his "many" B&C trophies he had killed with his bow saying that Bone had killed more big bucks than anyone he knew. This post was kind of going two directions at the same time but I never "called Bone out". I was merely stating my opinions on the lack of upper end trophies in most Washington units when Polar Bear implied that if a guy could not kill multiple B&C qualifying mulies and elk in Washington with a bow he was not a very good hunter. I simply called BS on his claims and he produced nothing and tried to imply I said he was not a good hunter. In my mind it is hard to kill what is generally not available.(Mulies and elk that qualify for B&C in Washington are very rare) All the 190+ bucks somehow never get scored I guess.
 
Thanks Romulus. Wamulehunter I wasn't picking a fight with you, just stating fact. I think you were the one tlaking about calling me out or something like that. If I were to pick a fight it would sound more like this.....

"Must have been tough holding all those 160-190 bucks that everyone else shot when you haven't gotten any yourself. LOL"

Attacking me from nowhere and then saying I am picking a fight is the type of behavior that probably got you banned from the other site. I'll have to look you up and see what loser you were over there now. Now I am curious.
 
No need to look me up I'll tell you . when you did a 5 page write up on how guilty you felt about going hunting and leaving your wife and kids home(like a cosmopolitan magazine) and I lets start talking about hunting.You started telling me that I probably had bad kids(juvenile delinquents). I said maybe you should involve your kids in hunting and take them along with you and you wouldn't feel guilty. I posted pictures of my kids with all thier trophy's and next thing I know I was banned.

M_ray,
Are you serious???. HFNW, barely has any information at all (I could view every post and thread in one sitting), and doesn't have anywhere close to the amount of quality info that huntwa has.
 
I don't recall you being banned wamuleyhunter. I recall you requesting to have all your posts removed and your account eliminated or else you were going to sue us or something. You already were contacting your attorney or something. I thought you quit, not were banned. I had nothing to do with that.

Actually Bone you are the one making it personal I don't see anywhere there in my quote that says anything personal towards you or about anyone just the plain truth??? AND I'm not claiming to be a pro and I haven't sold a photo nor hunted a game farm so I'm not sure who you are calling out with that comment. Read again I said "Many are Pro's". and "One has more covers than all others combined" Which BTW is very accurate! A bit defensive aren't we???

And wea300 and Antler sure you have more members and more topics so I guess I needed to clarify ... per member there is a lot of useful information is that better? ... why do you guys always have to make it a competition between sites? I have always said nice things about Huntwa and when ever someone says something nice about huntfishnw you guys have to gang up on a guy and shred every word.

"HFNW has more information specifiacally about the NW and WA and also has the best photogs on the internet ... many are pro's and one has more cover shots than all other sites combined!"

I am touchy because I am tired of your ##### assed games. As far as I know I am friends with most of your clique. I am not a game player and you always seem to have an agenda. Saying you have more or better is what makes it a competetion I guess. Maybe I am interpreting that wrong. I am about as much of a straight shooter as you will find. Take it as you will. It would be pretty easy to promote your site without trying to say its more or better.

So You can say you see MORE big bucks and that's OK But I can't say We have the BEST photogs on a hunting site? Kind of a double standard isn't it? I didn't single out you or your site and I don't see any of the other NW hunting site's with their panties in a bunch over a blanket statement? I think you are forgetting that you guys recruited all of us from this site to hunt-wa in the first place!
Oh and BTW not smart at all offending the Pro clique by claiming you see more big bucks in a day than they do in a year ... but that's just my opinion.

I checked out both of those sites and they both are pretty cool, the one has a lot more members and posts but there is a lot of politics threads, major turn off for me. the other site does have way more pictures and picture taking threads, great pictures. .02cents

Nope, you figured it out in the round about way. That statement was a reflection of exactly what you were saying. A comparison if you will(or a demonstration of an absurd point). It was meant to sound that way. I'm comfortable in what I said regarding the clique. I'd imagine they know I am very respectful and in awe of their talents. It was a point and glad maybe you figured it out though I'd imagine you'll continue to defend your cause. Its one thing to promote a site, but doing it while undermining another because of spiteful reasons is different. I'm sorry you can't see that.
 
Oh brother Bone get over it!!! ... don't fall off that soap box of your's it looks to be a long way down. It doesn't surprise me you've made a mountain out of a mole hill ... you always find a way to make it about you!!!
And BTW as far as your comments about the clique??? They didn't take it that way, several I spoke with took it as disrespectful. But as usual it's also OK for you to come on now with a compliment to smooth them over (talk about absurd comments) after slamming them but it's not OK for me to explain that mine was a blanket statement and not directed at you or Hunt-wa specifically??? So they have forgiveness but you don't?

I shouldn't have repeated your site name in the first sentence because after that you seem to be using that to say I was comparing the two. I reiterated the topic and said but yes people have another choice (just my opinion) I have already stated nicely several times that I meant about site's in general (which BTW there are many) and that I enjoy hunt-wa and always have. I have never said a bad thing about it but apparently you are trying to make this into one.
Trust me if I really was trying to slam you and your site I would have thought out a better way to do it than that, Really?

Bone>>> Its one thing to promote a site, but doing it while undermining another because of spiteful reasons is different. I'm sorry you can't see that.

Please enlighten me on why I would be spiteful towards hunt-wa I went back and read everything I looked on my hunt-wa account and read my post's on Huntfishnw and I'm not finding anywhere that can be construed as spiteful! Is there proof or have you just conjured this up cause it makes your argument sound better?

I'm glad I am wrong. I hope both sites are successful. I put so much into one I don't have time for the other. There are some great folks on both. Its really too bad they had to go their seperate ways. I am sure I am missing some good stuff. I'm glad they have forgiveness because they are good peeps. Arrogance an d pride took me in the wrong direction I guess. Sorry to go off on you when you didn't deserve it.
 
I'm pretty much on one site crosshairs. As I said to Mray, there isn't that much time in a day. I've been on a couple limitedly. THats why I am seldon on here. Usually when someone posts a hot topic or something over in Huntwa.

I agree there are some very good people on both sites but lets not get it twisted Bone, we didn't go our seperate ways, some of us were kicked off the site for nothing more than speaking our minds, without breaking any forum rules. Its funny how few members on that site have the balls to speak their minds, they are too worried they will be banned, so all you hear anymore is the side supported by the majority of the admin team.

I followed the luminok and Trad hunt threads and laughed when good points were made in opposition of your leader. He proceeded to take his ball and go home like a child, then banned a couple members that made the points and removed their posts. Obviously the other members took note because after that few dared speak in opposition to his opinion again, a great way to run a site!!!

Yes there are very good people on huntwa but a couple of the admin team members are hypocrites and are ruining it IMO.

For the record I consider you a friend as well as a couple other members of your admin team, I'm not lumping them all into this post.
 
Just read the Tradition only thread and you can see how much of a baby Ray is. I am amazed anybody would promote a site with an owner that is such a biased prick.

How many times was he asked Why in that thread and then insulted the guys asking him that question?

As for PB and Romulus I know Romulus personally and he has killed some really nice animals. He does actually hunt and get off the road.

I know you have killed some nice animals also PB but how many actually make B&C? Not a knock on you cause you sound like a pretty decent hunter. I just don't think we manage Washington for a high enough age class to grow booners in most of the state.
 
Just making sure this makes 70 posts!! AND to continue to show the rest of the members on MM how pathetic the Washington section is.

We are starting to sound like a bunch of Utards. LOL


THanks Rob! I'm glad we got it sorted out.
 
I can remember some of you bashing this site for this very thing.

It's childish really, I hope you guys can work this crap out on the phone or something.

One last thing, my Momma is tougher than your Momma!
 
Seems like trouble and contoversy follows "Bone" on these sites....go figure?!?!
