It's about freakin' time the Canadian's started cracking down on this crap.....they have known about it for a long time, and just looked the other way. What do you want to bet that they will forget all about when the U.S. F & WS becomes distracted by other things?

 

You ain't kidding 16,bet another dollar to a donut that none of the Native Guides got popped . Selling the ducks to chinese!!!I wonder if the birds they sold were canvasbacks!!!!!

 

Some of my customers hunt there.
Baiting and shooting after hours is common. Limits? What limits.

 

I'd like to keep track of this just to see what happens to the "Natives" that where sited.. Any bets on them Walking

 

I know of several so called hunters that like to hunt there because.. they can shoot as much as they want over bait and shoot lead. But ai did not think that the natives had to obey any hunting reg?? Am I wrong on that??

 

The Canadian federal penalties for wildlife violations are severe, Colgan said, with fines that "run into the tens of thousands of dollars. Awhile ago we fined BASF (a big chemical firm) $15,000 for illegal baiting on its property at Fighting Island. The fine for a single offense is commonly $5,000."

The latest charges, which were filed last month, grew out of a 1999 anti-poaching effort in which citations were issued to 11 Americans who were stopped as they drove out of the First Nations reserve at Walpole, Colgan said.

Lets see, BASF, based in Wyandotte, and 11 American hunters, does the Canadian wildlife division ticket any Canadians or Canadian companies? They must of been able to find 1 Canadian to ticket. or are Americans the only ones to violate?

 

$15,000 to BASF is nothing, have you seen the lodge they just put up on that island? Ill bet you that it is a 4 million dollar or better facility. The hunters over here have been screaming for years about some of the practices going on at these hunt clubs. When the C.O.'S cant get into the properties, there is not much they can do, most of the clubs dont have a guide service. So getting in this way is impossible. When they are shooting ducks on the water, and the flock that is a 100 yards above still comes straight in, it doesnt take a scientist to figure out what is going on!

 

Jimbo,Is that the same BASF that has the Injection type Toxic waste dump on their property on the Detroit River?? heard that they have 5.5 Million drawing interest in a Bank account thats supposed to be used for the clean up,, wonder if they used the money for the Lodge Canadian hunter posted about??

 

Firetiger,

Gee..... That toxic waste dump couldn't be the one that is on the North End (Hennepin Point) of Grosse Ile could it? After all I believe that the whole North End is owned by BASF.

didn't know they had one on the POINT too,, I was talking about the one near the paybridge right by the launch

 

Firetiger,

BASF also owns Hennepin Point too. From what I have heard there was also some dumping there as well. The location that you are talking about is just North of the City of Riverview's Boat Launch on the West Side of the River near the ATOCHEM plant.

A few of my customers are members of the St. Anne's Club. Appearaently, some of the natives were selling ducks to Chinese restaurants and using lead shot. Somehow, 500 sticks in my mind.

The hunt goes on.
