Good night and good luck!
« on: October 10, 2008, 08:01:32 PM »
Well it is about 8 pm on the eve of the modern deer opener. I am about as ready as I am going to be. I will be braving the crowds on state land over here on the westside. I am going by myself and really only plan on hunting for the first few hours. The weather looks to be horrible blacktail weather, but I can't see staying home just because the weather isn't cooperating.

I imagine there are many people on here feeling the anticipation and I just wanted to say good luck, but more importantly...be safe and have fun!

I am glad someone is getting some shut eye.  I have relatives who just came in from Canada at 6:00; at 11:00pm I am picking my daughter up at UW then to the airport to pick up my oldest son (on leave from USMC) at 1:00 am then drive to Lacey Walmart to buy sons license, by then it will around 3:00am just time go out to Vail.

Good luck tomorrow

Never mind I forgot it was on the east side of the freeway it was shot in so it would be under rocky mountain.

I was watching more hunting rigs heading E/B on Hwy 18 tonight and I was wishing I was with them.  Well Monday will come soon enough, I hope!  Good luck all.

This morning was rather funny.  I was heading south on Meridian through Puyallup, Graham, Eatonville and continuing south.  There must have been 15 trucks all heading the same direction, one after the other.

It has been a solid stream of pumpkin filled rigs going by my place all day.  You definately can tell when it is lunch time at Vail, the rigs come pouring out one after the other headed for town.  I worked all outside all day and did not hear a single shot which is very unusual considering how close I am to Vail.  Weather must be too nice.

'Bout the same in the CF. Lots of rigs, very little shooting, unless you count the 200 plus rounds fired by yahoos out target shooting. The weather was nice for hiking, but not for hunting.

I only heard about a dozen rifle shots today around my place.  Normally opening day
sounds like a reenactment of the battle of the bulge.
