If people driving down the road have an impact on my hunt I am road hunting.The units I usually hunt in Western WA have little if any area that is more than a mile from a logging road. I guess we are all road hunters. lol

I find it funny that blocking roads is acceptable to some people on here. As if there is simply one area to hunt off dead end roads. Maybe Ill block the road out ... dont want you driving by and disrupting my hunt.
I kind of understand why some people aren't getting it. He's talking about hunting on Weyerhaeuser land. If you haven't hunted Weyerhaeuser tree farms it might be difficult to understand. But basically, there is no where that you can walk, that you can't also drive. All the roads are drive-able and well maintained. Sure you might be able to find a patch of timber here and there where you can get 1/4 mile from the road and hunt. But if you're hunting the clearcuts, like 99% of the people do, and for good reason, because that's where the deer are, then you pretty much have to either walk, or drive on roads when you're hunting. And he's talking a short spur road that goes out onto a landing where you can get a good look at the clearcut. I don't know how long this particular road in this instance was, but sometimes they're only 100 yards long, if that. There's no reason to drive down to the end of it and scare any deer that might be around. So most people park and walk out. If you park and walk, it doesn't help when someone else decides to just drive on out there. It's happened to me before and I totally understand what he's talking about.
JONI MITCHELL COULD HELP YAUL ,, as she so ozmic ally put it ,, Put up a parking lot , public lands are no fun or very successfully for any lazy Doritos crunch , beer drinking , truck seat hunters , who forgot to work out a little before the season comes along instead of sitting around goof juice in and planning there drive ,r , I mean hunt , but anyways ,,,, get out there ! And take a look g hike away from the slacked jawed yokel collecting parking fees and selling googler connect , then your hunting

I'm not trying to make it private all I'm saying is if the rd is less then a mile (and the majority of hunters know how far back it goes but I know there are times u get a newbie in the area. ) then I would expect someone to give a guy some room or at least come in contact if possible and be a good steward . I know myself I'm not going to waist my time if I see someone parked at the beginning of a dead end road, ill keep going and go to plan B .

If I'm driving to my chosen clearcut for a morning hunt, and I see an orange vest strolling down the road a mile out, I'm supposed to turn around?
