Sick to my stomach at some "hunters"!

[ShaneTyTrey]

Brutal, especially the timing, find a way to get out and I bet you get rewarded

Some damn fine bucks in the Teanaway.

And in the Taneum.

Nope no deer in the Teanaway....nothin to see here 

[Skyvalhunter]

Well then you wont be hunting it either..

[CAMPMEAT]

Hate to say it, but, who in their right mind wants to hunt around a bunch of numbskulls anyhow. It's waaaaaaaaaaay to close to Seattle for me, even when I lived in Graham. I just flat out stopped hunting any where near Seattle people, too trigger happy !!!

Sucks to have this happen late in the game. It sounds like it was the owner you should've sent the salmon to. Did you mail her a thank you note after the season last year? Little things make a difference. Good luck.

which GMU if you don't mind?

GMU 130.  I researched this piece of property for years until finally asking and getting permission.  I didn't take a shot last year but I could have taken one of about 10 legal bucks the first two days but chose to wait for the big one which never came.  The place is crawling with deer, almost all of them bucks.  And now, back to square one.
[pay him some money to get in too.. i mean if its as good as you say.]

Is that around Cheney where this happened?  I exclusively hunt gmu 130 for deer (all state land) and would gladly point you to a few pieces of land that we have seen shootable deer on.  let me know.

Hey Campmeat you hitting the deer camp adult beverages early  .  He did say GMU 130 that is way on the east side unless your talking about his cabin which is also on the eastside. 

Yeah that sucks big time to be so late in the game for you.  Good luck and yes from what I have heard lots of nice size muleys around your cabin.

I was expecting this post to be a rant about trash left on public land or a rancher having to spend all week rounding up cattle after a gate was left open. I understand your frustration in needing to start over, but your gripe is way over the top. Everything done here was legal and on the up and up. I wish you well in finding a new place to hunt.

It is indeed in the Cheney area.  Thank you for your very kind offer but I've decided to head to the cabin and hunt what looks like a decent area (on paper anyway).  Wish me luck, I'm going to need it!

Wow. This would have went a lot different, if it was posted in the waterfowl board 

[uplandhunter870]

but your gripe is way over the top.

i dont think the OP is being over the top, he lost access to a piece of ground because a group of guys flashed a bunch of money at the land owner. im sorry but hunting in WA is expensive enough as it is and can be pretty tough to find good spots and then only to loose a good spot because some guy shows up with a fist full of cash, yeah id be hacked off too.  do i blame the old gal not really cash in cash, i do blame the outdoor channel for the commercialization of hunting and the need to show off how big your ego is by "owning" "hunting rights" to land parcels and kill monster bucks

To the OP: sorry dude that sucks, hopefully this momentary set back is just a bend in the road and it'll all work out for ya next week

His cabin, but he didn't mention 130 in the OP. Now I'll have a beer before Biden gets his ass kicked !!!  He should look into the Swanson Lakes Rec Area.

Just one more comment before I head out of town.  The guy who aced me out did it purely out of spite and selfishness.  Am I being over the top?  Not only "no" but "he'll no".  I'm deciding to turn the other cheek rather than get even with the guy.  Life is too short.  And now I'm outta here...
