Stikine Damages - Go fund me

[Ron.C]

You guys do realize its not the victims asking for money, but a local buisness trying solicit funds from other locals to show their disappointment with the situation and support for the victims. To me, its a classy move to show hunters they are in fact welcome and not to paint all residents of that community with the ssme brush.

Even if they raise enough to cover deductables, it's a nice gesture.

And the go fund me is for????

Beer?

I think its nice that someone from that area wants to help out. For those of you saying “insurance!”, you do realize that your premiums will go way up if you make a claim, right? It’s a solid deal that locals want to try and cover the costs so tourists (yes, if you are hunting away from home, you are a sort of tourist) don’t have a shitty experience in their town.

Insured or not it’s not right ! How is pushing vehicles into a river right ? That’s not looking after the LAND ! Nor is damaging Private Property !

The fund raising should be kept local and in the face of the locals that did the damage, if thats the case
Local pressure is the only thing that will curb such actions, no one gives a crap outside

especially gofundme, which keeps 26?% of the proceeds

premiums won’t go way up for a comprehensive claim....premiums go way up for claims that are your fault.

Not sure where did you pick that information?

According to their web site it is just small fee to cover payment processing, as no one will process your payment for free.
"There is a fee of 2.9% plus $0.30 fee per donation on GoFundMe. These fees go directly to our payment processor and help us keep GoFundMe a safe place to donate."

typo, misremembered it as 2.6, 2.9 is right.

Agreed. Well said.
