EASTSIDE DEER HUNTING OPENER !WARNING!
« on: October 15, 2020, 06:54:29 AM »
I've heard through a few sources that enforcement will be strong this weekend.
Trespassing
Riding ATV-SXS Behind locked gates
Hunter check stations
Deer decoys-whitetail or muledeer
Knowing your GMU-And the rules for it.
When you think no one's watching be aware someone is.

These and many more are on the table.
Just thought I would put it out there that enforcement will be out there.

Treat every firearm as if it is loaded.
Wishing everybody a safe-legal opening weekend-With Harvest. :tup: :hello:

Why the warning for all of us law abiding hunters?

I would assume every warden they can get works every opener the same as every other year.

An ethical hunter will act the same irregardless of whether someone is watching or not. This is a good reminder but everything mentioned should be followed every time one of us steps into the woods. 

Good luck out there!

 I agree, they will probably have the same amount of wardens out just like in the past.

So is it “OK” to shoot two points?  Asking for a friend. 
I kill elk and eat elk, when I'm not, I'm thinking about killing elk and eating elk.

It doesn't matter what you think...

This is great news! I hope they cite everyone they can for driving a ATV or SxS behind any locked gate! I hope anyone dumb enough to shoot a decoy gets a ticket! Sounds like it might be a rough weekend for some slob hunters!

Interesting.  I don't think the vast majority here need any warning at all.

Reminders....for sure. Take your tags, ammo, gun... make sure they all match! After that cash or credit can get you most things and when in doubt you make come back to camp sans socks or shirtsleeves!

Great to hear.  WA needs good enforcement. :tup: :tup:

Even if there was zero enforcement this weekend, I'd recommend doing all those safe/legal things anyways :P

Tell your friend that there’s a guy on HW that can give first hand experience of that action.😉

And make sure he doesn't shoot said two point with a gun he really cares about. Any old beater will do the trick
