No Trust Rights: No Access. The public's right to access public property has been infringed upon!!!

Timber Company restricts public access to two major sloughs on the South side of Yaquina Bay. Sloughs where I used to hunt ducks with my Lab CalieAnn.

Dear Tyler could you ask Rep. Gomberg to restore the public Trust Rights to access Flesher Slough locate on the South Bay Road of Yaquina Bay. We see this as a huge issue with many implications of the lengths people with go to deny public access.

The timber management company posted Flesher Slough with no trespassing signs, The lady who lives just east of the slough is the only private property besides the Timber Company managed property boarding the slough. The county road is the east boarder of the slough and bisects the property of the lady I am speaking off. So the property along the road does not belong to the timber co. Has the timber has violated our Trust Rights? The lady has never posted her land on either side of the road, but when the timber co. allowed access on their right a way she told me I could not walk in there because it was her property. So I left and went to the Lincoln and paid .25 for a copy of the plat map only to find out she lied.

When I returned to the Timber Co. access road, I knocked on her door but she was not home. However when I returned to my truck parked on the county road after hiking along the shore of the slough, I was greeted by a pack of approximately 6 snarling dogs. The lady responded to my shouts for help. She responded to the presence of the dogs and I informed her if she did not call the dogs off I would shoot them. She called the dogs off of me.

Later on and Just prior to the opening of Elk season, I parked my truck at the access road to the to the timber company's managed property when the guy who lives down the road drove up behind my truck gunning the engine of his truck while driving up behind the bumper of my truck before backing up and repeating the movement over and over. I left rather than confront him. I have be told that this guy is an OSP officer. I have no idea if he is. I called OSP and reported the incident with the dogs but not the crazy guy in the truck. The timber Co. then post the access road to the property they manage to Trespassing by Permission Only.

So I called the manager of the timber company and asked permission to trespass on the timber company property and he told me, "No! there are too many houses on the slough." well there are not homes on the slough. The timber company manager went on to say that, "Hunting ducks on the slough is closed." The Timber Management Co. has posted conditional trespassing signs on the other sloughs is has control over. I was denied permission to use the access road to enter the tidal flats of the slough violating my trust rights.

I believe these people are privatizing the Trust Rights of Oregonians by denying the public access to public property. Is there anything Rep. Gomberg can do to restore our Trust Rights?
