We were getting a extra plow truck ready at work today. Supposed to be getting snow on Washington pass tonight and tomorrow. Was 24 degrees this morning in winthrop.

We had thick ice this morning on the windshield of our vehicle parked at the Tukwila Sounder Station.  I have been choking the stove at night here in Tacoma, I think I am going to give it some air tonight and check it when I get up at my normal 03:00 to see a man about a horse.

I was headed to the high country with my wife. Not going to do that now. I think it's too risky especially with her along.  Not too excited about killing anything anyway.  I'm a little worried what this will do with the remaining of the herd.

Not a good scenario at all. High country snow during modern season. Migratory bucks moving into the slaughter zone. I agree that if this plays out, combined with last years high harvest rates, this could have a huge impact on the future of the herd.

Last weekend it blew pretty hard where we were at, Entiat Valley, next morning there were multiple trees across the road. Its been raining/snowing for the last week up there = soaked ground/loose root systems.

Be careful out there all.

Best time to hunt blacktails is in the wind and rain on the wet side.  :twocents:

Getting ready to leave in a couple hrs to head over and set up camp - my camp is right at 5800' , might get real ugly - might have to consider setting up a bit lower somewhere- but damn it's nice not being around a bunch of people

I'll be out there. If it really is that windy I'll be cautious of what's above me. Really not interested in getting my melon caved in.

Lots of deer and not a lot of people. Storm are good for putting a blacktail buck on the ground.

Has the update changed? Where are you seeing this weather on saturday? Right now it looks like 15 mph in most places with a little rain. Perfect for the duck opener.
what in the wild wild world of sports???

Saturday evening forecast looks an awful lot like the weather was on 11 Oct 2014.  There is more rain forecast for this Saturday.  I am OK with that.  Did I mention that I like hunting when it is raining sideways?

What will really be awesome is when the rain dies down a little on Sunday and the Seahawks play at 1. Go Hawks, but being in the woods while they're on TV is like having the whole playground to yourself sometimes.  :chuckle:

Hype! Hype! Hype!  It' all hype to mess with your plans so you'll go out and buy groceries and batteries instead :chuckle:  Go hunting it could be the best opener we've had in over ten years.
