When are YOU going for MF Season?
« on: September 27, 2014, 09:44:37 AM »
I've read hundreds of threads and many comments regarding when hunters go for the modern firearm deer season. (I'm an avid reader and this sight can become addicting. ;) )
Some of you will be out from the 11th to the 19th.
Some will be out for opening weekend, but are not able to hunt during the work week.
I am very interested to hear what you all have planned as to hunt schedules.

I'll start it out.
I got volunteered to coach my daughters youth soccer team this year which plays their games on Sundays. That means I will miss 7 Seahawks games and opening weekend of the MF season. So, I plan on leaving for camp on Monday morning and hunting until either Thursday night or Friday morning. (Or less if/when I harvest something.) I'll be hunting the Eastside.

Thank you to everybody that responds.

We usually head over Thursday around 12 noon. Setup camp in the evening and drive around checking out the deer. Friday morning we get up early and go check out deer, and hang around camp the rest of the day. Hunt Sat, Sun, and usually head home on Monday (hunt the morning). Generally speaking; the area we hunt is shot up pretty good. We would rather head elsewhere, where the hunting is still good. I usually head back out Wed or Thursday to another area, after a 2-3 day break. I make my own schedule and travel on the road, so I have the luxury of hunting the majority of the season.

I tagged out yesterday (Multi-Season Archery), so I will play guide and camp cook for our group. We hunt Eastern WA as well. Good luck to you and your group this season! Be safe..

This trip will be kid focused, Doug. The guys will be back for late archery. That's not to say I wouldn't pull the trigger if given the opportunity. Just saying my rifle likely won't be the first to bark.

That danged "priority list"!
 :tup:

I think its a fair trade. I would rather spend my time with my kids while I have the chance. There will be more hunting and football seasons.

When I was single I used to hunt for weeks at a time with archery.
Some day I will get to do it again.

Any more hunting schedules?

I wouldn't ask where. That's classified. 8)
I'm just asking dates. Are you going for opening weekend? The entire 11th-19th? Midweek?

Weekend warrior here. I will be going in both Friday nights and coming out on Sunday, pending a hook up. I am planning on taking November 10-16 off for late season though.

I'm lucky enough to hunt every day of the season if needed. Early season I hunt at home but late season I head north

You've been scouting out the back door all summer? :chuckle:
I couldn't resist.

I hope your hunt is a successful one. Thanks for commenting.  :tup:

Well where the 7 day horseback pack trip into the wilderness got cancelled I anticipate packing my stuff in the 7th or 8th. ride the stock back out and then hike back in so I don't have to worry about feeding the stock while in, not much grass where I'll be.
