GMU 101 ITS FINISHED... (NEW PROPOSAL)

[TeacherMan]

GMU 101 will never be the same again after this next year, if they open it up for late season whitetail the herd will be mascured. The animals that time of year are out in the open country around here and they are hard to hunt with a bow. Put it on your calenders the new state record will come from Ferry county next year if they open this season for rifle. This may sound great until the large trophy animals are gone and the genetics are no different than say around Deer Park. Its like taking a fly fish only lake and opening it up for bait, whats going to happen you will catch a lot of nice fish at first, give it a year or two and it will be no different. You better take the time off next season if you want the trophy of a life time.

That really sucks when this happens in your backyard! I feel for ya Teacherman! On the other hand, I would be a fool to pass up this opportunity!

[BENCHLEG]

THATS WDFW AT ITS FINEST. THEY WILL  MAKE MONEY ON THIS ONE AND WE AS HUNTERS WILL SUFFER LONG TERM. THAT SUCKS . J

Thanks for the heads-up Teacherman; I might have to head over there and take advantage of it.

[NWTFhunter]

These are only proposals... If we get enough voices now we might get them to ammend their proposal.

I remember back in the 60's how good the hunting was on both sides of the highway back then, the old 100 & 200 units. Then in the 68 season they said we had too many does (mule and white). We had a three day slaughter any deer, it sounded like basic training on a M14/M16 range. For those older folks that was also the big winter kill winter of 68/69 we must of found 50+ skeletons just on the Scatter Creek road between the Ferry Lake cut off and Swan Lake durring the 69 season. I wish my dad did not dump all the photos a few years ago without asking me.

I know what your feeling, they did this to my fav hunting area years ago, Mica unit, decimated the herd and the quality went in the toilet, the last 2 years has been draw only and 3 pt min helps, area is still recovering, sickening feeling

[Little John]

I know quite a few guys that live for that archery hunt. Its what they look forward to every year.

[bowhunterforever]

Are they gonna get rid of the late archery there or is that still the same? I dont get why they want to make a late rifle hunt there after all theses years? There isn't tons of deer up there from what i have seen, has the heard been growing good up there the last few years?

[SHANE(WA)]

Yep it will open on Nov 20 th like it woulda down here, use to open Nov 10th. There will be a slaughter of nice bucks taken if this happens

[bowhuntin]

It sure doesn't add up when you look up at the success rates for archery, muzzle loader and modern firearm and then archery takes the hit. I bet by the time everyone gets done writing emails that alot of what is proposed right now won't happen, especially if they look at the data between user groups.
