Crap. Is it going to cool down by Sept?

[DoubleJ]

I have a nice wallow in SW Washington with a creek that runs through it with tracks all over.  Almost callid in a bull there 2 years ago.  I plan on going down there and sitting on that wallow all day.  Doesn't stop it from being crazy hot.  Man I hope it cools about 15-20 degrees by the first weekend in Sept.  Wishful thinking though, huh?

If it doesnt than it is going to be a maddening zoo once again. I looked foreward to this season so much and now its roasting hot again and the ten day forecast does not look good. Problem is it needs to rain by the last week of Aug or 1st day of Sept for the Timber Co's to re-open if there is a fire closure in the next two weeks.

It is not looking good at all

The weather forecast app on my kindle shows mid 70-mid 80's for the next 15 days for the west side.

Unfortunately its not looking good J I may be elk hunting around the house if things continue like they are.  If it cools off I better start clearing some shooting lanes in the mess from last years storm just in case.

You're lucky.  I have to drive 90 miles to my spot

It's nice to be able to hunt around the house for a fall back, but it's so damn thick I have yet to have an ethical shot at eny of the elk I have seen.

This is what the Farmers Almanac has to say for the PNW:

4th-7th. Fair weather deteriorates to stormy conditions Washington, Oregon. Turning squally in Idaho.
8th-11th. Fair.
12th-15th. Mostly fair initially, then unsettled.
16th-19th. Pleasant, tranquil weather.
20th-23rd. Unsettled.
24th-27th. Gusty winds, but drier.
28th-30th. A return to unsettled weather.


October 2012

That actually sounds like a nice forecast at the moment

Sounds like great huntin weather to me. I love the rain, keeps the fair weather hunter at home but now I have to go buy more rain gear.

That will work for me, as long as we get a little wet so we don't get locked out

DoubleJ you can come hunt the herd by my house with me. I need someone to help pack my elk out first thing opening morning. Then we can pack yours out as soon as we finish up with mine.

I am there.  After the cougar fell through, then the bear, we need to hook up on these elk.  PM me the details
