Do you need a permit to carry spurs as big as that dead turkey has?  Holy smokes!

It's frustrating to wake up to gobbles every morning on your own private property and can't hunt them.

Sure wouldn’t mind seeing some more pics to sooth my anguish.

Inslee just gave a speech. He talked about opening outdoor recreation and construction in the upcoming days. He said they will look at it in 4dys. I think we might be able to chase Toms, boys👍 Keep your fingers crossed. If he opens public lands, wdfw will have to open hunting/fishing so we can get out.

sure hope so, last few days seems the Tom's around have just been mocking me. Crossing the hwy and stopping to fan and strut. For the most part really henned up but still a few very large flocks hanging together. Lake below the house seems to be begging to have a fishing line thrown in it.

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.

I really hope so! I've got my fingers crossed. Even if it has to be your own county, I'll at least be glad some of you NE'ers can get out and get some birds.

This is from the Tacoma News Tribune. Fishing & hunting is definitely part of it.

This is going to be a slow roll out guys.  Not a flip of the switch.  It was talked about in our meeting with WDFW. Not recommended by us but most likely they are going to, if they open it up, allow hunting in the county you reside in first then monitor.  The open more up slowly.  The biggest population of turkey hunters are on the west side.  Most don't have turkeys in their county the reside in.  So don't get super excited yet.  It isn't going to open like we all hope it will.  Letters have been written from the NWTF to the governor and director of the NWTF to open the season.  We have been putting pressure on them.

@birddogdad

Not quite like a criminal.  We're letting them do what they want.  You're being treated the way law abiding, tax paying citizens are treated in this state:  Like peasants.  Remember, Inslee called the folks who protested "insubordinate".
