Title: I have the worst luck
Post by: zach1234 on October 21, 2010, 08:14:43 PM: I'm not sure why but i do. So I'm new to the hunting thing and the few Friends, i have that hunt all had to work last weekend. They have to work this weekend also. I hunted 454 out past ravensdale for the opening weekend and did not even see a doe let alone a buck. I have also been out there after work two times this week. But no luck.So I'm not sure what to do this weekend. I want to go hunt but have no one to go with and have no idea were to go now. I know there is deer out there i just cant find them. So what do you all think i should do. I'm open to hunting just about anywere with in 4 hours of my house and it is auburn.

Don't give up.

You just have to put in your time and learn the ropes of the areas you want to hunt.

You will be amazed at what lies behind dense patches of vegation that runs along our roads, and nature has a fast way of forgetting your there if you sit still and make miminal sound and movement. I have duty this weekend, or I would take you up on your offer. Good luck, and dont give up!

Post by: Dmanmastertracker on October 21, 2010, 08:58:22 PM: I didn't think you could hunt Ravensdale any more, I heard they shut it down tighter than a midget's shoe :dunno:? I think I have you beat. I spent over 1k in licenses this year and have hunted exactly two days... I understand your pain.

No you can hunt out there a lot of the land is DNR land now not timber land like it use to be .

I live in that area, I'm not sure where you are referring to, but there is King County Conservation land's that are DNR, no hunting there allowed, other than that the surrounding area between Black Diamond and Ravensdale has been bought out by developer's and they aren't allowing anyone to hunt there. PCC land is also no hunting :dunno:.

how does this apply? (or does it)
http://your.kingcounty.gov/ftp/gis/Web/VMC/boundaries/NSArea_Map.pdf (http://your.kingcounty.gov/ftp/gis/Web/VMC/boundaries/NSArea_Map.pdf)

looks like shooting is OK north of Kangley.

Post by: hawksfan75 on October 22, 2010, 03:20:28 PM: I'm in kind of the same boat as you. Learning the ropes, new to the area etc...

I'd love to get out with you sometime and explore the area. PM me and we can meetup to talk story and such.

Post by: docsven on October 22, 2010, 03:27:53 PM: I am pretty sure it is firearms restricted, bow hunting is allowed.

Doesn't apply to what I was referring to. There are King County DNR lands (no hunting) and State DNR lands (hunting except conservation areas).
