Title: Late General Season, Black-tailed Deer in GMU 454 (Issaquaha)
Post by: 6.8mmARHunter on November 15, 2013, 09:20:53 PM: Late General Season, Black-tailed Deer in GMU 454 (Issaquaha)

How does it work?

Bring your tape measure so you're not within 150ft of any dwellings?

Is there any public land?

Maybe I could go to Soaring Eagle, and try not to shoot a hiker.

I suppose there's the Grand Ridge trail, but watch out for the Mt. Bikers.

I'd look styling in the Issaquah Alps in hunter orange packing my 6.8mmAR... not to mention dragging a deer out to the tail head.

Why even have an opening here?

Please advise.

Start doing homework, tons of info but you have to do some research.

Don't worry though - on the other side of Hywy 18 - there are far more vehicles in the parking lot. The city folk all stink of dryer sheets and cheap soap :puke: so it isn't too hard to smell them before you see them.
And yes - this unit requires homework. Don't waste valuable hunting days. Hunt elsewhere till you do your homework.
