Frustrated with restrictions at Cherry Valley and Crescent lake

[SnowDog]

I've seen "Empty Vehicles" at Crescent Lake every weekend before 0800. Weather or not you agree with the rules, it is the hunters responsibility to know all the rules and regulations and follow them. That is part of being a responsible hunter.

If you don't like the rules, provide constructive feedback and propose solutions back to WDFW. Bitching and moaning will get us nowhere.

Cheers!

Technically speaking ALL release sites are open from 8:ooam to 4:pm and blaze orange required for duck and phez hunters. I wonder why it's just Cherry Valley and Crescent Lake where it is enforced

It probably is Cherry Valley, many duck hunters ignore the 8:00am rule.  I haven't seen any signs at CV but is closed and there are signs at Ebey Island.

LndShrk and I are neighbors and we look out over Cherry Valley. He'd know better than I as he dabbles in the duck hunting business more than I do.

The shooting 45 minutes after legal time that is definitely CV.

Whats the shooting at 7:15am?
Nowhere else in the valley other than right below my house. They're hunting at the dairy?

I spoke with a gamie on the phone the other day and was told that if you even want to take a walk at a pheasant release site before or after hours, it's a no no. Snoqualmie Wildlife Area Hunting Hours apply to King and Snohomish counties.

Also, I stopped at the dairy a coupla years ago to get the skinny and they were leasing it at that time for hunting....

It's 8AM for ALL users.  Those sites aren't just pheasant release sites, they are wdfw sites that pheasant are released on.  People can go there for nature walks, duck hunting, etc.  But ALL USERS must obey the 8AM rule.
