Monroe tag
« on: April 19, 2012, 11:28:33 AM »
Well I’m getting a late start; just picked up my key and maps from the nice women at the Sedro Woolley DNR office.  Time to dust off the .35 Whelen and start planning on where to start looking.

Looks like some decent weather for the next few days so I hope to get out there soon.

What areas are on the map as far as the Monroe tag goes? I live in the area but have not seen the hunting areas.

Let's see if this works:

Hopefully this nice weather will get them moving. It has been a slow start, so you didn't miss much. Good luck and keep us posted.

Can you actually drive all the way from Granite to the dam on Spada? Used to cross it when I was a kid...neat country back there. Shouldn't have too much of a hard time finding a bear back there  :tup:

I'm hunting today, have put quite a few miles on the old danners. Haven't seen any new peels or scat, I found an area that had some canary grass and skunk cabbage just off a nicely "greening" skid road. I looked it over pretty thoroughly and didn't see anything that made me even think "maybe". Headed back to the truck now, gonna go hit a different area.

Dang, was hoping the spring bear key and access might get a person in from the north side. From the map, it looks like it could be done unless those stars are gates that don't open with the key?

A lot of those gates can't be opened with our key. It's very frustrating indeed. In fact more can't be opened than can. :bash:

That still really surprises me that so few of those gates can be unlocked with the key they provide! Too bad they couldn't mark those on the map so that you could plan on how to get around and OUT of an area!
The reason there are so many Ruger upgrades is because they're necessary.

I talked to Chris Hankey about the same thing today. He said that the gates around the watershed (the ones with the no motorized access) will not be able to be opened with our key. All the others ones should be able to be opened with our key. He said that if they didnt to call him with the location and to look at the lock and see if it is a F3 lock. If it was a F1 lock he would have to have the forrester go up and put the correct lock on it.

Clear as mudd right?

We did find a few locks that the key fit into but wouldn't unlock too, I wondered if they had a chitty locksmith as well as being inept. :)

Did you guys ever find anything washelkhntr?

No. Found some promising looking areas but nothing to write home about. After we saw you and Ripper, we drove around and scouted a bit. Never did make it up north. I will be back out saturday, going to head up towards Verlot.

So are the gates with a star by them the ones that you can actually open with your keys?
