Cherry Valley Dog Training
« on: June 01, 2017, 03:28:45 PM »
I heard there are many acres open for dog training at Cherry Valley in Duvall, so I went there last Saturday.  The grass was so tall, it wasn't possible to train with a puppy (or adult dog).

Does anyone know if it will be maintained at all?  It's great to have a WDFW area designated for dog training, but not worth much if you can't use it.

Failing that, are there other dog training areas around?  I know about Pepper's Retrieving Grounds, but looking for something free.  :-)

In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Cherry Valley, Stillwater Recreation Area and Crescent Lake recreation area are all the local areas in the valley. @Happy Gilmore would be the one to share the ins and outs of the maintenance and timing of those areas.

Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

the assbats at WDFW aren't going to do anything and they are working their butts off to make it as hard as possible to volunteer now. There is additional pressure being put on the longevity of their jobs so, they are going through the routine of making a giant money wasting paper trail to cover their arses.

They all need to be fired. Each and every manager from the top down. I'm going to join twitter just so I can start sending Trump messages on what a corrupt bunch of donkeys are running WDFW which got the land through a federal grant signed by JFK. They are not honoring anything which JFK established for the sportsman and outdoor recreation fund which he championed. WDFW=guys sitting around just wanting a pension and not honoring or abiding by the laws written and signed by congress.

Oh, back on topic...

WDFW was forced against their will to open up the areas again and have "chosen" to work with local dog training groups to "allow" you to run your dog around on some larger areas. A gate is going to be open for a little while. Mainly for the farmers convenience so they can plant corn in the most favorable area for general recreation purposes.

This management is the result of Brian Boehm and Russ Link. If you disapprove of how the area is being run, please write your local representative and relay your displeasure with the management practices you have experienced under their oversight.

Thank you,...damn it.. I got off topic again.

Oh, My real name is Paul Gilmore and I was kicked off the advisory committee by Brian after quite a few years of volunteering and working on the property because my value system for public land being used for public recreation did not align with his vision of managing public land. He used to work for a private salmon habitat management(grant based employment) firm.

Tell me how you really feel Paul! Lol... I guess you had better be careful now that the WDFW knows you name....
