Select Board grants two Fish & Game baiting permits for town land despite public concern
Summary
The Warner Select Board granted permission for Gustoff (Gus) Forgey and Ian Forgey to include town land in New Hampshire Fish & Game baiting permit applications for two sites; some residents expressed worry about baiting on town property.
Ian Forgey and Gus (Gustoff) Forgey sought Select Board permission to include town-owned land in their New Hampshire Fish & Game 2026 permit to bait wildlife at two sites, off North Road and Cunningham Pond Road. The board granted both requests by roll call vote: motions passed with Smith YES, Bixby YES, Hanson YES.
Resident Barb Marty spoke during the public comment exchange and said baiting could lead to problems; Chair Alfred Hanson noted that Fish & Game has primary authority over baiting permits. The board asked where town policy permits or prohibits baiting on town land and directed follow-up as needed.
The board's permissions allow the Forgeys to submit their Fish & Game applications with town authorization included, per the minutes.
