Glokster got it right. We laugh at road hunters when they are so thick they have to turn their signal on when they want to pull back out from sitting in their truck glassing a clearcut. Even during muzzleloader when the ryderwood has their gates open these guys think they are rifle hunting. We have many just off of the beaten track spots and genrally never even see another hunter. But you can hear em driving by hundreds of yards away. Sure it's generally tough going, packing meat over fallen timber and through the brush but we know we were hunting and a great satisfaction keeping these spots secret but then driving back to camp with a rack or leg sticking out of the truck and seeing the head twisters. Please, don't close the timberlands to those who hunt, just to those who would trash. We were in the Willipa the last year we could hunt muzzie early. A guy came through the camps and had a petition he wanted us to sign proposing opening the gates. We were just back from pedaling 5 miles in and out in the rain and kinda felt compelled to sign. Then the guy says, besides whats a guy from grays river to do with their old refrigerators and stuff like that ? We were dumbfounded
This guy was serious we declined the petition and he was like walking away shaking his head in disgust with our answer. I remember hunting weyerhauser property out of eatonville years ago and hearing gunshots all day out in one of their rock pits sounded like they had about a truck load of trash and ammo. We came by that pit on the way out and there was everthing from the kitchen sink, couches, tv's and yes old fridges and stoves. Damn those companies for locking their gates
Get out off of the roads and scout, use those road hunters to your advantage. They may suprise a couple in the open by the road..but most of the time they only see hair running into the brush !
