Turkey season shut down chances.

[180-GRAIN]

I don't care if they shut the general season down for a few weeks but at least do it after youth season so the kids can hunt.

Makes sense that if the lakes and DNR and rivers are shut that the rest of WDFW should get shut as well. No turkey. No spring bear. No fishing. No clams. No coyote. No predators. Also no florists.

Is stateland completely closed? Or is it closed for camping.. i thought i read that day use is still available but camping is not. I could very well be wrong.

What is it some people dont get about staying home and not spreading germs and keeping their kids safe.   If its ok to get your kids sick, wtf, just keep it open so we can all get sick......cmon people.

Closed.  Maybe they were just parking and viewing wildlife from their truck.

How many people even realize fishing or state land is closed?  I know many friends and family that were shocked when I mentioned it.

It's supposed to be closed closed. They have all our DNR posted up like crazy. There was 50 cars stacked into the parking area to the yakima greenway in Gleed but I can't go off trail into the sage country and call a coyote. Makes perfect sense if you don't think about it

Bunch of private for that coyote calling session and it is calving season,  seems essential to me

One reason is that WDFW could easily shut all their stuff down.  Trail heads are all "owned" by different groups, thus they all have to go around and close stuff and make independent decisions.  National Forest, city, county, private landowners, etc.

I do agree that should have been one of the first things to do, shut the parks and trailheads - we all knew what would happen as soon as people couldn't go to school or work.

It's easy to take a walk without running into people, just stay off of trails, walking paths, etc.

Nobody in the vehicles,parked there two cars and a pickup .And yes I'm 100% positive state land I target shoot there sometimes.But that's not what they where in the woods doing ,whatever hiking,poaching,trailcam,who knows,but I told my wife that's pretty $@i+y .I can't target shoot,but they can do whatever there doing.

Not alot of it makes sense where you are Karl, or where I am, however I cant abide by the thoughts of draggin kids and others half way/all the way across the state at a time like this so they can try and kill a turkey.  Common sense out the window.

I'm well aware of the reasonings behind the closures. There continues to be such a giant disconnect between the east and west sides of the state. There's no way to keep our side open for recreation while also holding back the flood of bodies that would come from the west side so we shut it all down. I don't like it but I get it.

Cancelled all open week hunts I had with hunters.  Wife had her hours cut 50% so couldn't see spending a ton of money on lodging

I don't think it's all shut down though.  Seems like there are plenty of trailheads still open?  There's also a pretty good increase in the number in several places on the east side too.

I think they should have done all recreation at the same time and would have, it's just different departments and many outside the state's direct control.

Here is the city of Arlington as of right now:

City of Arlington parks and trails remain open for public use.
