I just passed 2 men with hunting bows at Lakewood Marina while out walking my dog- 9:10pm Thursday April 23rd. They were looking down into the water and I heard one of them say “did you see one?”
There are a ton of beavers in that marina, and this is the time they are most active, I see them at this time every evening. A quick google search told me beavers in Lake Washington may be trapped with permits, not hunted, and not at this time of year.
I did not speak to them as I promised my husband I would not confront strangers especially obviously armed people. I just submitted a form to the Washington department of fish & wildlife. Does anyone have any particular knowledge about what they could have been hunting, or if you think this was brazen poaching?
