It just hit me yesterday when my soon to be wife said "I thought deer season started on the first why don't you take Saturday to pack your truck up and get ready to hunt?"

I thought about it and realized I'm hunting in just a few days. I have been practicing shooting since turkey season where I took a jake with my bow hoping to get a shot at the buck on the right from inside 50 yards.

I put my ground blind out yesterday with only two tie-downs.  After today's big blow, that thing may be miles away!

It strikes me as a little bit funny that WDFW has not published their 2015 Hunting Prospects report yet.  Although the report it isn't really a help (because all the regional biologists do is compile information that is already available), it is still kinda fun to read through.  The District 10 report is total trash - no effort whatsoever.

I put mine out last weekend in the desert. I'm pretty nervous to see if it's still there or destroyed when I go check the setup tomorrow.

I just realized yesterday that the 1st is almost here.  I have been seeing lots of deer just in areas I don't hunt.  Been out on fires for pretty much the whole last 2 months.  Did get a couple 2 week break end of August.  The nice thing is as I lay here in my tent it is raining.  I am in Omak.  Saw a wolf to.  Animals are getting pushed around by the fire for sure.

Boss informed our crew yesterday that we'd get Tuesday off. Began to consider myself lucky, then he informed us we'd be starting up again at 12am Wednesday.  :bash:
Regardless my nearby access points are dependent upon GD and/or Manke lifting their closures, which hopefully if the rain keeps up they will.
