Salmo-Priest Wilderness is closed - What now?

[PDR]

Hi All,

I came out here in 2004 and fell in love with hunting. I am a DIY guy, the hunt to me is learning how to close the deal myself. The part I love the most is the adventure of the hunt. I've spent literally hundreds of hours preparing from this years archery hunt - in the salmo-priest wilderness.

As of August 20th, the area I was planning on hunting is closed. I'm pretty fricking deflated right now. It was a stretch just to afford tags this year (I just finished a masters degree in June).

It's time to formulate plan B.

For those who are interested in the closure - http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3851652.pdf

That's a tough go, but probably better for the good.

Just curious do the tribes have to honor these closures .

Sorry for you, PDR.  On to Plan B---you still have a few weeks yet.

Congratulations on the degree!

yes.  There are no hunting rights up there

Maybe it will open by Muzzy.    

Doesn't really make sense.  Not one of these fires have been caused by humans.

FYI: there is the Kanisku National Forest in that part of Washington that is 100% ran by Idaho. You can ride ATVs to without any B.S. from Washington too.
