My hunting buddy canceled so I am just heading out my back door in east Lewis county. Have some decent 2-3 year old clear cuts and some 1-2 year old selective cuts close by.  Should be a great opener. Oops I mean stay home don't take the chance. 😶😶😜

No change of plans here. Just bringing a change of clothes or two so when I get soaked I can get warm again. Blacktails well be bedded if it's too nasty, but lucky for me I know where they sleep.  8)

Advice: have a chainsaw in your rig if driving up into the mountains/forests.  Pretty much mandatory equipment in a storm.

This season will be my first at hunting blacktail with a rifle. I had originally asked for time off to hunt the 26th-30th. But the blacktail aficionados have claimed this weather to be the golden egg, so I changed plans and don't have to be back at work until Wednesday morning. Can't wait for some blacktail madness!!!

Chainsaw gas bar oil axe and or wedge(s). Extra food and water. And lots of ways to make fire.

Hope it works out for ya!  A lot of people prefer first light or mid day and I'm contrary, I prefer last light.  We seem to disagree over quite a bit, but most of the people I know who are serious like what we see coming weather wise. 

I'm trying to think of a time when this kind of weather has not been good to us....  and I can't thing of one.

Not only should hunting be good, there should be lots of free firewood sources over the next several days too!  Residential neighborhoods are firewood heaven after a big storm.

I still have Oak and Madrona stashed around from last year's wind storm.

I told people I would be happy to clean it up, but I could only do so if I could stack it and tarp it until I have room to bring it home.  I wouldn't even bother with anything less than Oak, Maple or Madrona and let other people get it.

 I must be the only blacktail hunter who prefers cold, clear days.

crunch, crunch, crunch..... I'm sorry.  I didn't hear you.  I was walking stealthily on the frozen ground on this beautiful, clear, cold day.   Dang, I wonder where the deer all went?

Those are good too.  When it has been cold and stormy for a few days, then a cold clear day with some good sun.  They're out soaking it up.

All the deer went on 3nails' wall. The dude kills some studs!
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Oh I love cold clear days. Find myself some steep clear cuts and deer soaking up the sun.
