Hunting Washington Forum

Mine doesn’t have CDS

I put a 3-9 Freedom with the CDS on my son’s 6.5 Creed about 4 or 5 years ago. Thought it would be a good “starter” scope. He doesn’t hunt with that rifle anymore, and honestly I was waiting for it to crap out, but that gun has been on many side by side and ATV rides and still holds its zero. He even shot a Whitetail two years ago at 430 yards with it. Not sure you’ll get a whole lot more out of a VX3 unless you just want more magnification. Maybe a little better glass, but glass quality isn’t my top criteria when picking a rifle scope.

The bucks are dumb as hell right now. Been seeing 3-8 bucks a day working 5 days a week and partial days on the weekends. Get on OnX and you’ll find land to hunt. Select potlatch stuff closer to town is being parceled out.

Lots of logging going on so be mindful of log trucks. Been a wee bit soggy so not as many trucks on the roads as normal currently.

The only place in western Washington I've seen elk is in people's yards. And once in Snoqualmie. So what gmu do have elk on public hunting land? I've never seen one while deer hunting . Is late muzzy worth it or are they all back up high licking their wounds?

Took a drive 10mins down the road from the house with my daughter a couple weeks back to where I’ve been seeing a bunch of does. 10mins of driving on public there were 3 does standing 40yds off the FS road. Jumped out real fast and told my 4 year old that dad is gonna shoot a deer. Picked the bigger one out of the 3 and she dropped in her tracks. Turned the truck around and we walked up and took some photos. My daughter thought it was a great idea to name the doe. So she named it “Scooby doo” due to her obsession of Scooby doo right now. Told her Scooby doo is gonna taste great. Was back in the drive way before 9am
