French Creek
« on: January 14, 2020, 10:19:46 AM »
Had the opportunity to hunt with a family member at French Creek in Snohomish the other week. It was a great trip..wonderful outfit.. Owner was top notch, not only a friend through my contact but made me feel welcome. We smoked cigars, drank wine and whiskey and shared jokes.. Woke up around 6:30am Tuesday, had a nice breakfast..Then suited up and made our way over to the ponds.  Last bird count was well over 50,000. They littered the sky like a black cloud...Almost a Nat Geo moment!  Scott jokingly said, well how fast do you want to hunt today...Do you have any other plans? If we wanted to stay as long as possible, he recommended we load up with a single round.. I thought he was kidding at first, after we scared off the group on the pond as we walked up.. Not an hour later we had our 4 limits.  We collected the birds, loaded into the UTV and headed to the barn.  They had a great set up with feather/plucker...cutting table...sinks.. vac pac room.. It was the set up one can dream of!  I breasted out my limits, cleaned up and headed home. I didn't want to go home, but I did... Can't wait until next season!  Can't get pictures posted..if anyone can help me, I'd appreciate it!

Sounds like a great time.

Usually, picture posting has to do with the pictures being too large. Open them with Paint and choose resize and cut them in half. If you want to save the original size, make sure to "save as", so you'll end up with the same picture in original and cut-down size. Then try again.  :tup:

Thanks!  I just hopped into Paint and it seemed to work!

Nicest club in the valley.  They manage it very well.
Cut em!

   I believe there's a DU episode on you tube from years ago featuring that club. It looked pretty high class fancy operation.

I've been looking for that episode haven't found it yet. Great experience for sure!  Very different than the types of hunts I am used to.
Sounds like to be a member, once a spot opens that is (15-18 members allowed max).. It is around $350K for a lifetime membership...And then annual "house fees" do come up (maintenance, upgrades, food/liquor/amenities etc etc) $10-$50K per year, all depending.  But yes, they know how to do it.  Will hopefully be out there in 2020 with more birds under my belt!
