Displaced Hunting Camps?
« on: October 05, 2025, 09:28:03 AM »
So with the fires burning late this year and roads being closed, how many of you will be looking for a new place to hunt this month?

My spot is still open but I’m worried it’s going to be busier than usual because of the closure in the neighboring unit. Anyone thinking this will be their situation as well?

I was thinking the deer hunters can at least spread out across the state but the elk hunters are stuck in eastern Washington unless they have a multi season tag and elk are more concentrated to pockets in eastern Washington unlike the deer. Not as many options if your drainage is closed and we all only get a week for rifle.

Seen a few campers and motorhomes showing up in 101 area while I was getting firewood yesterday.

I was thinking about charging a toll for each rig that goes by my house. Seems like a good get rich quick plan to me.

Has anyone been up the 19 road this week?  According to the website most of the campgrounds including dispersed camping sites are closed. Curious if this is right or not.

I can’t find a forest order that says why they are closed but they’re all listed as closed.

My thoughts exactly but I want to make sure there are not concrete barriers on the road before I tow my trailer over there. 😂

If it’s closed I will not camp there but since I will be homeless during elk season they are not allowed to tell me to move my trailer until the social workers show up to help me find a permanent housing solution. 🤣

With all the recent snow in the higher elevations and more coming, it’s really gonna affect some of the elk hunters camps too.
I know of a handful of tents that are already flat on the ground as we speak
