Title: Just making sure...
Post by: PastorJoel on July 29, 2018, 01:28:04 PM: So, I have a place that I plan on hunting on opening day. I am just warning ya'll, I call this place and you better not go. :chuckle:

Who else is going out Wednesday?

Post by: TRD1911 on July 29, 2018, 01:39:20 PM: I am gonna do a quick evening hunt around Tahuya on opener but then I have to work for a week. After that I'm doing a solo 5 day backcountry out in the Olympics (maybe 4 if I run out of gummy bears).

Good luck fellow Kitsap-er

Post by: cdriver on July 29, 2018, 05:23:29 PM: Oh man! Lots of pressure on poor old Tahuya, I am going to hunt bear Thursday out that way, can't imagine there are more than one or two bears in Tahuya. Waiting that extra day for the expected cooler weather. Seriously, it's nice to see so many Kitsap/Mason hunters getting out and doing it!

Post by: cdriver on July 29, 2018, 08:35:40 PM: I am starting to worry a bit about closures also.

Post by: yakimanoob on July 30, 2018, 10:04:18 AM: Good luck everybody! Can't wait to start seeing photos and hearing stories.

My August is stupid-busy, but I'll be joining the bear-hunting ranks in September so for now I have to live vicariously through you guys.

Post by: cdriver on July 30, 2018, 05:20:00 PM: Green Diamond closed their land last Friday. According to Mason County website. Confirmed it on Green Diamond website.

Thanks for posting, kind of a bummer but expected.

Post by: cdriver on July 30, 2018, 06:27:37 PM: So, DNR land is still open. I am guessing the other timber companies will close land soon. Changes my hunting plans for the week. Will still try to get out somewhere, assuming there aren't more closures.

Post by: saylean on July 30, 2018, 09:20:41 PM: Good luck guys and gals... will likely miss the opener but I’m there in spirit.

Those are nice rifles. Hope you get to break it in proper!

Post by: predatorG on August 04, 2018, 06:27:38 AM: I leave for college the 18th, so I'm putting all my efforts into getting a bear with my bow these two weeks since I'm missing all of September deer and all of elk season. I've been staying on the 627 side of things but have been trying lots of new spots. Got distracted by a coyote on the opener and shot him at 15 yards instead :chuckle:
