Turkey season shut down chances.

[Ghost Hunter]

 This month I traveled close to 1000 miles round trip to NE, stayed more than 2 weeks thinning timber.  Didn't stop for groceries or fuel up either direction.  Had two equipment service stops in Kettle Falls, stayed outside maintaining distance protocol on both.  A long drive is hard on my knees, 350 to 400 miles is about all I can stand before I need to crawl out and stretch.  At least I got to listen to the turkeys, see some wildlife and enjoy the outdoors.  Had more than 14 days self quarantine at home prior.  I'll do my best to minimize any risk giving or taking, but I plan to keep enjoying life.

NE corner.  Take a bit more than 1000 miles to make it to Nebraka, but I've done that without stopping back in the day.  But it is 1000 miles from home to the Wedge and back.  And yes, Nebraska has a national forest.

Good to see you made it in and out in one piece

Just got an email.   Recreation, hunting and fushing leaders are invited to another meeting with WDFW April 29th to talk about how to go about re opening opportunities.  More to follow.   I take a lot of what you all say here to heart.   It helps in a lot of what i will discuss with them again.

Yeah, that's a really stupid idea.

Tell them to either open it up or shut down all recreation.  We have had a near 100% compliance from my perspective which is better than any other portion of the order.  Either include it when the stay at home restrictions are relaxed or close all outdoor recreation.

Please don't support any version that carves it up or pits us against each other.  If there is no enforced travel ban, than we should be able to travel for whatever recreation we choose.

exactly, they have put the culture of distancing in place, let us exercise it properly. This is going to go on for at least this year and probably at least another until the herd immune response is achieved.. we need to be our own regulators now!!

I'll tell ya I do hope they open it up statewide.
At the same time I'm not gonna say shut it all down cause one person from another county can't participate.
With that said that's why it has been closed ,because you guys over there have not been able to come over.
With the stay at home order.
Which yes it's not enforced and nobody is complying but it still doesn't make it legal.

Inslee and wdfw speaking today at 1430hrs. They are laying out plan to open recreation next week. This ought to be good.

It's almost like waiting for the draw results, hoping for the best, but dreading the worst!

[Mulie87]

Yep, toms only. It’s officially open next Tuesday. I’ll be chasing the birds next weekend. Finally. It’s gonna be a bit tougher since to peak of breeding is over. Ambush tactics.
