Going to west of Goldendale

[EDT]

ok.  the wildlife are a is not closed.  there were several hunters in there today.  I didnt see any deer hanging
But...then again, deer probably shouldnt be hanging in this heat!

Yeah that's not private timber ground. That's why it might still be open. I know I have been beating people out like crazy. A lot of road hunters this year looking for places to shoot deer.

Yea, and now we have a fire burning off of fisher hill just up from the bridge    Last report was just over 100 acres and spreading up the hill very fast.  Hope all people out here are careful!!!!  Today, several parked right in front or behind the closed signs, most were hunters and fishermen, go figure

Maybe it is just me, but I can understand how people can road hunt with a rifle, but I think it would be extremely difficult to road hunt with a bow  maybe its just me.

That sucks that a fire is going...it is very,very dry in there this year.  God bless everyone down there.  we need to pray for rain.

Wazukie.. Where exactly off fisher hill?? Down by the river or up towards the bird farm?? I got a buddy up there right now with a bow.. haven't heard back from him since yesterday.. This fire really worries me.. really close to my stomping grounds and can't find any info on google, Etc... when I talked to him yesterday, he said it was cutoff shirt style hunting, I've been following the weather for the last month and a half.. Gotta be crunchy critters up there right now.. When was the last time "The Klick" got any substantial rain fall??

Last January, when I was in there and there was about of foot of soggy snow up on top!

[Wazukie]

Mark, the fire was down toward the river, its out now.  We haven't had any substantial rain in months and yes the woods are dry and crunchy right now.  I am just glad that all the campers are headed home today.  Very busy in Glenwood today.

Thanks wazukie!!! I missed a call from him while I was napping (Cause im an old fart).. But atleast by the missed call i know he's alright... Just watched the news though and more heat for the Portland-Vancouver metro area is on the way this week (Mid-80's-90), BUT.. They did show rain on saturday-sunday.. HOPEFULLY some of it makes it over the mountain..

You havent been around much Tons of people hunt by just driving the roads and waiting for a deer to be less then 100 yards and start flinging arrows. Doesn't matter what the weapon choice is. On private ground the deer are less jumpy right now and stand close to the roads. Prime target for road hunters that have no permission to be there either. I kicked out 3 groups tonight alone! Doing nothing but driving the roads and trying to jump out and shoot a deer.
