Fisheries @ Panther

[Tjfast]

Anybody know the status on this? I know they had "traps" set up In the stream to catch any bbs, but has anything pursued from this?

thus far nothing, but i think they are going to be keeping us on a short leash...... dont poke the bear and shoot into the creek and we should be fine...

Where does this come from?

Fisheries and Oceans doesn't have manpower to chase down BBs.

Hey Jsae,

DFO did not stop in to pay Panther a visit they are Federal it was the Fish and Wildlife Branch of B.C. (F&W) provincial along with Surrey Bi-Law and a Environmemental Liaison person I believe.

Chirs Hamel figured that his new competitor have called the athorities on Panther. Some of Chris's other competitor have just been reprimanded by said authorities.

The above said authorities spent two to three hours looking around the Panther property three weeks ago. One of the main questions was " do the paintball and Airsoft player shoot into the creek?" Kyle told them that "the Paintball players are told not to shoot into the water or wildlife and the paintballer's don't play by the water. The Airsoft player have a safety talk before their games each week before they play and NO shooting into the water is mentioned. They are not allow to shoot at each other when on the bridge."

This is what Chris and Kyle have told me.

Excellent report. This is what we need to know.

Thanks,

I'm somewhat regretting starting this thread now.... But just so you guys know, the only reason I brought this up is just from a concerned airsofter not wanting any repercussions from fisheries effecting where we play because of some bad apples shooting into the creek.

Thanks guys

It's better to know all the info we can rather than turn a blind eye, thanks for bringing it forward.
