Agreed, it's saying 30 in Yakima, and were having a stiff breeze for sure, but not 30!

Dang!  The Portland meteorologist has moved the timing of the storm hitting here to noon tomorrow.  I was planning on hunting till noon then bailing for home, but the computer models appear to show the winds hitting like a freight train vs. ramping up slowly.  45 - 60 mph in the inland valleys, higher out where I was going. 

I've officially cancelled for tomorrow, which doesn't upset me terribly since I've been out many times already with my MS tag, but somehow I was excited at the prospect of sitting in pouring rain and glassing reprod for freaked out deer.  Better safe than sorry, or as Shakespeare wrote: Discretion is the better part of valor.

Good luck all!  Shoot straight.

But it sounds like the duck hunters are having a pretty good time this morning.

I'm planning on going out for a bit but if there's going to be power outages, I don't know that I want raw meat sitting around. Power outages in some areas can last many days. At that point, it's a scramble to keep what's already in the freezer.
Getting meat before a wind storm might be a    Then again, I could can all the meat......I'm still thinking on this one....

First time I've missed hunting deer on opening day in about 30 years. But I'll be heading east early tomorrow morning to hunt mule deer for a week.

Be careful. You don't always hear those falling branches and trees.
