Washington: Island County Commission Outlaws Hunting at Deer Lagoon
 
Friday, October 16, 2009
 

Earlier this week, the Island County Commission unanimously passed a proposal that imposes a total ban on shooting at Deer Lagoon even though hunters at Deer Lagoon have an impeccable safety record and have protected this important waterfowl habitat for decades.  Unfortunately, this prohibition ends waterfowl hunting, a popular and established tradition in Deer Lagoon. 

Thank you to all of the NRA members and sportsmen who spoke out in support of our hunting heritage.  NRA-ILA is considering what actions may be necessary to restore hunting rights in this area.  We will keep you advised of any developments.

Please contact the members of the Island County Commission and respectfully voice your disapproval with the enactment of this unwarranted ordinance.  Contact information for the commissioners can be found below.
