Title: Salmo-Priest Wilderness is closed - What now?
Post by: PDR on August 24, 2015, 05:39:29 PM
Hi All,

I came out here in 2004 and fell in love with hunting. I am a DIY guy, the hunt to me is learning how to close the deal myself. The part I love the most is the adventure of the hunt. I've spent literally hundreds of hours preparing from this years archery hunt - in the salmo-priest wilderness.

As of August 20th, the area I was planning on hunting is closed. I'm pretty fricking deflated right now. It was a stretch just to afford tags this year (I just finished a masters degree in June).

It's time to formulate plan B.

For those who are interested in the closure - http://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprd3851652.pdf

That's a tough go, but probably better for the good.

Maybe it will open by Muzzy.   :bash: 

Doesn't really make sense.  Not one of these fires have been caused by humans.

FYI: there is the Kanisku National Forest in that part of Washington that is 100% ran by Idaho. You can ride ATVs to without any B.S. from Washington too.
